The Art of Restoration for Stone Façades

Stone façade restoration for natural building restoration
  • Limestone Restoration

    • Limestone restoration for commercial buildings is distinct due to its porous nature, making it prone to stains that demand specialized removal methods. Various surface finishes, such as polished and honed limestone, necessitate specific restoration approaches. Preserving fossils and mineral veins adds complexity to the process. Expert knowledge is crucial for a successful limestone restoration.

  • Sandstone Restoration

    • Sandstone's porous nature makes it susceptible to water and moisture absorption, which leads to weathering, discoloration and structural issues. Careful attention is given to address water-related concerns and ensure proper sealing to prevent future damage. The type of sandstone used in the building, whether it's soft or hard, affects the restoration approach. Our craftsmen skillfully blend repairs and finishes to achieve a harmonious appearance between the new and old sandstone.

  • Granite Restoration

    • Granite restoration for commercial buildings presents a set of distinctive considerations due to the granite's durability, unique composition and widespread use in high-traffic areas. As a dense and hard natural stone, granite is less susceptible to scratches and wear compared to other softer stones, but it still requires professional restoration to maintain its polished finish. Granite comes in a wide range of colors and patterns. Restoration demands expert color-matching techniques to seamlessly blend repairs with the existing stone. 

  • Marble Restoration

    • As a softer stone, marble is susceptible to scratches, etches and wear from high foot traffic in busy commercial spaces. Our restoration technicians employ specialized honing and polishing techniques to remove imperfections and restore the marble's smooth and lustrous finish. The restoration process involves careful color enhancement to accentuate the stone's natural beauty.
