For our clients who like their limestone to look better than new, inquire about our Diamond Polishing service. Our Diamond Polishing is our elite service which leaves your limestone looking like a glass mirror for a fraction of the cost of a newly installed limestone. Caveat: Not all polishing of your limestone, marble or travertine etc. is equal when performed by some so-called stone restoration companies.

Limestone Restoration
Noticed some of your tiles are higher than others? Do you want your floor flattened to improve the esthetics, keep from chipping the edges, and facilitate limestone cleaning?Heaven Sent Floor Care can grind away the excess limestone to restore a flat level surface using the latest state-of-the-art machinery in conjunction with diamond abrasives and a natural polishing compound. Never do we use coatings or a “crystallization” process as many companies do.
Have you noticed dull areas in your traffic areas? This is typically associated with what is commonly referred to as wear patterns, scratches, etches and so forth. Heaven Sent Floor Care can repair these surfaces by either “honing” or polishing your limestone to eliminate these blemishes. The surface is then polished or honed to the desired finish leaving you with the memories of your new floor once again.
Limestone Sealing:
We use high grade penetrating (impregnating) solvent based sealers to seal your limestone surfaces. Their function is to absorb into the pores of the stone and fill them up. Tight pores help keep spills on the surface so they won’t soak in. Although penetrating sealers are not bulletproof, they are essential in keeping some acidic spills on the surface to prevent acids from eating away the underlying layers. This insures the resulting etch, or dull spot, can often be rehoned with the proper abrasives. Common liquids containing acids are: Citrus, vinegar, wine, soda, some perfumes and medicines.
While topcoat/surface sealers are appropriate for some types of natural stone, they ARE NOT RECOMMENDED for Limestone, Marble or Travertine.
Topcoat/surface sealers scratch and scuff much more easily than the stone itself. They will also flake, peel, and if applied too quickly can trap air bubbles and dirt underneath. This leads to a dirty hazy looking floor which most homeowners are unhappy with in a short time.
The light patch in the middle is where we’veremoved the coating – the first step in restoring this stone.
Chip & Crack Repairs
Have a chip, crack or broken marble tile? Heaven Sent Floor Care often times can repair your tile and blend it in with the surrounding tiles to match the surrounding surface.
High Gloss Finish:
We use the finest abrasives to achieve the glossiest finish possible for your stone. This shine is like turning your floor into a work of art, something to be noticed as much as the art on your walls. After the completion of our services we will provide you with specific instructions on how to clean your travertineor limestone surfaces.
