Customer satisfaction guaranteed

Using natural stone is a significant investment in any property-residential or commercial. Making sure your investment retains its natural beauty and value for a lifetime is a responsibility we take seriously. Dirt, grime, stains, etching, hard water stains, and sealant breakdown can all contribute to the degeneration of a stones surface. Stone Improvement can restore your stone surfaces to like new condition.

Important notice to our customers

Stone Improvement does NOT implement chemical polishing practices known as “crystallization” which can prevent the stone from breathing. Stone Improvement uses only truly natural and proven methods recognized by the MIA (Marble Institute of America) that are designed to reproduce a finished look as close to the original factory finish as possible. Our preferred method insures you will have a more natural looking stone and will require less professional maintenance if cared for properly. We always leave our customers with a free ph neutral cleaner concentrate to ensure proper maintenance.
