Marble Polishing & Refinishing Serving Warren & Madison NJ
Marble due to its softness can scratch much more easily than other floor surfaces like porcelain and ceramic. The good news is that although marble can get scratches, marks, dull spots and overall lose its shine there is a way to restore the marble to its ideal finish. At Grout Works of Central NJ we use diamonds to hone the marble which removes all marks and imperfections in the stone. Afterward we can polish the stone to a high shine just like the factory. In case of deep staining we use special compounds to create a poultice to remove the embedded stain from the marble. In addition to marble we also refinish many other stones like limestone, travertine, onyx and more. We can finish a stone to numerous types of finishes from a natural “honed” finish to a high polished finish as well as may finishes in between. We service many areas of NJ including Monmouth, Middlesex and Morris counties as well as other surrounding areas. Call today for more...Tile & Grout Cleaning Services in Shrewsbury & Little Silver NJ
Why does grout get so dirty ? Grout lines are generally lower than the tiles. Due to this dirt can get stuck in it. While washing a tile floor in your kitchen, foyer or bathroom you may not even clean the grout at all. Even worse, you may be pushing the dirt from the tile floor into the grout lines. But it really goes further than that. Once dirt collects on the grout it will not remain on the surface. Grout is porous and will absorb the dirt and filth fairly quickly. Then you are left with stained grout. It is much more difficult to clean stained grout and it loses that clean fresh new look. The solution is two fold. First of all if you seal your grout properly it will not stain as easily or as bad. with a Grout Works Color Seal it will not stain at all. Second of all you must clean the tile floor in a proper fashion. In future posts we will discuss the proper method for cleaning tile and grout properly. Click here to check out our gallery.

Marble, Travertine & Limestone are natural stones that require proper maintenance. They also require professional refinishing occasionally by a Professional Natural Stone Restoration company. Since these stones are soft they can scratch easily. The first step in professional restoration is to hone the stone with diamonds to remove scratches and marks. After that the stone could be polished with polishing compounds just like the factory to produce a shine from the stone itself. Some stones look nicer unpolished with a more natural matted look which is called a “honed finish” Stones like travertine and limestone and sometimes marble as well will be in a honed finish as opposed to a polish finish. We offer to polish or hone the stone as well as various customized finishes like a muted polish or a high hone where there is a subtle shine. Many customers ask to have their stone sealed. However generally they do not realize the limitations of a sealer. In fact a sealer only helps prevent colored stains on stone not the more common etches from improper cleaning products or scratches. We do offer to seal marble, travertine and limestone when necessary but educate our customers on the benefits and limitations of sealers and sealing natural stone. Many times we get phone calls to clean marble or travertine. Usually the issue is not dirt rather the surface needs to be refinished. Sometimes it is very dirty but that also is many times due to the fact that the surface of the stone like a travertine floor has been worn to the point where it does not have a smooth finish anymore...Marble Polishing & Natural Stone Refinishing Serving Brielle, Manasquan, Wall NJ
This marble polishing job we recently completed was a crema marfil marble floor in a South Brunswick NJ residence that had scuffed up areas in the marble foyer due to construction. Notice the huge contrast in these before and after pics and how before there is obvious scuffs in the marble mosaic medallion which actually contained granite inlays as well. Marble loses its shine due to wear from scratches and marks as well as spills and improper cleaning products that are not suitable for marble. This causes it to etch and leave dull spots and marks. Many people think that these marks are stains in the marble or stone. In reality they are not stains rather just a thin layer of the marble surface was removed by the improper cleaning product. A natural stone restoration professional can restore this by refinishing with diamonds otherwise known as honing and polishing to a high sheen. Many glamorous halls and buildings have highly polished marble floors. Many times it is terrazzo which has no grout joints separating it. This has a sleek appearance that spreads like glass. Even with grout lines if they are thin and the grout color matches to blend properly it can have a similiar effect. Color sealing grout can achieve this by customizing the grout color desired without the need to remove or change grout. Furthermore this will enable easier maintenance by rendering the grout stain proof.
