Four stones, five processes, one craftsman
Pick by the stone you have or by the problem you see. Every page says plainly what the work does and does not do.

By process
Deep cleaning & stain removal
Professional deep cleaning for marble, travertine, granite and limestone on Oʻahu: ground-in soil, soap scum, hard water, mildew, and poultice stain removal.
Honing
Diamond honing for marble, travertine and limestone floors, counters and showers on Oʻahu. Removes etches, scratches and wear and leaves a smooth matte or satin finish.
Polishing
Professional stone polishing on Oʻahu: restore a true reflective shine to marble, granite, travertine and limestone with diamond abrasives and polishing compounds, not coatings.
Sealing
Penetrating stone sealing on Oʻahu for marble, travertine, granite and limestone. Slows staining and makes cleaning easier. Does not prevent etching.
Etch removal
Remove etch marks, water rings and dull spots from marble, travertine and limestone counters, floors and showers on Oʻahu by honing and polishing.
One rule we repeat
Sealing protects against staining. It does not prevent etching or dulling from acids. Etch marks are corrected by honing and polishing. If a contractor tells you a sealer will stop water rings on marble, get a second opinion.
