Color Enhancement
Why Color Enhance?
Your stones add aesthetic value to your house by their shine, gloss, luster and color. Color, like all of these other aspects wear down with time and use. Porous sedimentary stones such as Bluestone, Shale, Crab Orchard, etc. are prone to losing their color. Over time, high surface traffic, rough weather and even routine cleaning can make the surface of these tiles dull, concealing their true color and beauty.
At Stone Surgeon, we employ various color enhancing techniques to intensify the color of your stones in order to refurbish their aesthetic qualities. Our experts methodically follow and carry out in-depth procedures to bring out the true color of your stones. To ensure that your stone retains its finesse & color for a longer duration, we apply a sealer followed by using a color enhancer. It may sound simple but these processes require in-depth professional analysis and strategic development to come up with the best possible solutions tailored to your requirements. That is something we excel at.
There may be different reasons behind your stone losing its natural color and it is very difficult to prevent that using household cleaning and maintenance procedures. Your stones are exposed to natural salts and minerals from within the grout or mortar surrounding the stone which can gradually create a white or dusty finish on the slate. Even routine cleaning products, sealers or waxes may accumulate on the surface and conceal the rich coloring and luster of the stone.

Frequently Asked Questions
CAN RUGS DAMAGE MARBLE, GRANITE, OR OTHER STONE FLOORS?
Rugs especially with rubber or latex base can cause friction against the marble, granite or other natural stones while sliding. Moreover, the dirt & grit that accumulates on rugs over the time can also damage the stone floor when displaced from their place with pressure. Therefore, Stone Surgeon advises the use of rug holders to keep rugs at place and avoid stone and marble damage and keep your marble clean and polished.
DO YOU CHARGE FOR REQUESTING A QUOTATION OR ESTIMATE?
At Stone Surgeon there are absolutely no charges for consultation or getting an estimate for the amount of work involved. Our engineers are always ready to help you with your stone and marble cleaning, polishing, sealing, and restoration questions.
WILL THERE BE DUST DURING THE STONE CLEANING, POLISHING, OR RESTORATION PROCESS?
No, Stone Surgeon takes all measures such as using diamond abrasives and water to ensure that a minimal disruption is caused in your daily routine while undertaking stone and marble cleaning, polishing, or restoration activities.
HOW CAN I KNOW HOW DAMAGED MY MARBLE, GRANITE, OR NATURAL STONES ARE AND WHAT RESTORATION METHOD IS BEST TO CLEAN IT?
Different stones need to be treated differently to restore their natural sheen. Light & porous stones such as marble, limestone, and granite are more vulnerable to damage if not taken care of properly. Stone Surgeon engineers will first analyze the stone before working out the restoration method.
WHY CAN'T I CLEAN THE STAINS OR WATER SPOTS ON MY MARBLE, TRAVERTINE, ONYX, LIMESTONE, SLATE, TERRAZZO, QUARTZITE, OR GRANITE SURFACE.
Sometimes, we mistakenly consider the etch marks as water spots. This happens usually when an acid comes in contact with the calcium based stones. Generally, polishing the stone is the best resort in such instances.
WILL I NEED TO EMPTY THE SPACE WHILE THE RESTORATION OR MAINTENANCE WORK IS BEING CARRIED OUT?
No, Stone Surgeon doesn't require you to vacate the place or move things while we carry out our job. We take care of your furniture, carpets & walls during the process & make necessary arrangements beforehand, if required.
