Limestone: Common Issues that Require Attention
Limestone is a wonderful, durable material used in many styles of homes. It’s a versatile stone that looks great but also requires care and attention to ensure it lasts.
Whether your home has exterior limestone features and fixtures, or you use limestone countertops and floors, Stone Center helps you keep your stone looking great for longer.
As an industry leader in this space, our customers count on us to provide stone restoration services and regular maintenance, keeping their homes looking great and their stone features functional for years to come.
Limestone comes with its own unique challenges, and our team has the know-how, passion, and tools to overcome them.
Our stone restoration services help you overcome:
Etching
Etching refers to the damage caused by acidic materials, meaning limestone countertops are particularly vulnerable to this. Substances like vinegar, soda, or even tomatoes, can cause a dull mark that looks almost like watermarks on a wooden table.
Thankfully, proper care, sealing, and maintenance can prevent this.
Staining
Given that limestone is a porous material, staining is common. Exposure to food substances like tea and coffee, or contact with rusting materials on outdoor fixtures, can easily cause damage and staining on limestone.
Our stone restoration service not only removes stains but helps prevent them, too.
Weathering
Limestone is particularly vulnerable to chemical weathering, meaning outdoor limestone needs attention to protect it against rainwater. The longer the stone is exposed to rainwater, which contains carbonic acid, the more the calcium carbonate within the stone reacts to it. The longer the stone is exposed, the more the stone will weather.
Erosion
As a result of the natural weathering of limestone, erosion keeps on occurring. Without treatment, the stone will prematurely wear away – and that process is hastened by airborne abrasive substances like dirt and dust.
Our restoration services help keep your stone from wearing away too quickly, and there are lots of tricks you can use to help prevent premature erosion, too. These include planting trees around the store and helping reduce exposure to rainwater and wind.

FAQ
How much does it cost to get a stone restored?
How much you end up spending to restore stone varies on the type of stone, the technique, and the stone’s current condition. Stone in good condition will cost less to restore, whereas stone that has a lot of wear and tear may require a longer restoration.
Do we need to have a natural stone sealed or not?
All-natural stone should be sealed to combat water and other liquid absorption. Some natural stones have high porosity and should be sealed every six months. Cleaning natural stone with specialized products formulated for stone also helps with preservation.
What can I expect after stone restoration?
Your stone’s condition after restoration depends on the elements it’s been exposed to. The wonderful thing about natural stone is that the restoration process can be repeated, making it a true lifetime investment.
How long does a stone restoration and repair last?
Professional stone restoration will last for many years to come. It is highly recommended to use legitimate companies with a proven track record, as misdiagnosis and improper application of restoration techniques can cause irreversible damage.
