What To Look For When Choosing Stone Restoration Contractors
Stone countertops, flooring, and outdoor décor can look truly beautiful upon installation. Over time, the materials can lose their natural beauty. This does not mean your natural stone’s visual appeal will disappear forever. Stone restoration contractors aim to bring that natural beauty back to your materials.
That said, not everyone knows what to look for when choosing stone restoration contractors. Let’s look at the key details to consider so that you can find the right expert for the job.
Seeking Experience With Your Stone
Experts restore a wide range of stones, each of which requires a skillful, trained expert for maintenance. You should always put the restoration in the hands of an expert to prevent your maintenance problems from worsening. More specifically, find an expert in your specific stone. For example, our team at Cleaner Image provides professional
stone restoration services
for natural stone. We work with slate, tile, Mexican tile, terrazzo, travertine, limestone, granite, marble, and quartzite.
If you have marble countertops or flooring, don’t assume that every stone expert you speak to has equal experience. Exploring the contractor’s website should quickly help you find what materials they restore. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to call the contractor directly. Experience is essential, but the results speak for themselves—always remember to look at previous projects.
Assessing Any Previous Work
An expert may work with marble, but how does it look when they complete the job? If you think that you won’t know the final results until your restoration is over, think again. Thankfully, a reliable stone restoration professional will have their portfolio of projects listed clearly online. Look at the portfolio and ask yourself how you feel about those results. You can go one step further by reaching out to previous clients.
Asking Contractors for References
Always ask your potential contractor for references to their previous work. Request contact information for previous clients that you can talk to. Ask the references about how they felt about the contractor’s work ethic, communication, and overall results. This step will help you narrow down your options to reputable experts in the industry.
If your stone needs professional assistance, you’re one big step closer to finding a solution. Now that you know what to look for when choosing stone restoration contractors, start exploring options today.
