Have questions about us or what we do? You’re in the right place. Here are answers to some of the things we hear most from homeowners and businesses across the Twin Cities.
We are a St. Paul/Minneapolis-based specialty company that repairs, restores, and maintains natural stone, tile, grout, and terrazzo surfaces. Rather than replacing damaged or worn materials, we bring them back to life — removing scratches, etching, staining, and wear through professional honing, polishing, and repair techniques. We also apply anti-etch coatings and protective films to help surfaces resist future damage.
We specialize in natural stone, tile, terrazzo, and grout — and we’re the Twin Cities’ trusted experts in bringing worn, damaged surfaces back to life. We restore instead of replace, saving you money while delivering results that look brand new. Our anti-etch coatings and protective films keep your surfaces protected long after we leave. Residential or commercial, we show up on time, and treat every project with the craftsmanship it deserves.
Yes we do. We service residential and commercial clients throughout the Twin Cities metro area. On the residential side, we work on kitchens, bathrooms, entryways and other living spaces. On the commercial side, we handle hotels, retail spaces, restuarants, multi-tennant properties and more.

Before you call a contractor to rip it all out, call us. You may be surprised what restoration can do.
Wondering whether your natural stone surfaces can be saved? The answer is almost always yes. Here’s what you need to know about restoration versus replacement.
In most cases, yes. Scratches, etching, staining, cracks, and dullness can nearly always be repaired through our professional restoration process. Full replacement is rarely necessary and is typically the last resort when the stone is structurally beyond repair.
Restoration typically costs a fraction of replacement. When you factor in demolition, disposal, sourcing matching stone, and reinstallation, replacement costs add up quickly. Restoration gives you results that look just as good — often without the mess or disruption.
Yes — in most cases it looks remarkable, and sometimes better than new. Our professional honing, polishing, and repair techniques remove surface damage and bring back the stone’s original clarity, color, and sheen.
We can address etching, scratches, dull spots, staining, chips, cracks, and general wear. Whether it’s a marble countertop dulled by acidic spills or terrazzo floors worn down by decades of foot traffic, restoration can handle it.
Replacement makes sense when stone is structurally broken, severely undermined by moisture damage, or missing large sections that can’t be matched. In those rare cases we’ll tell you honestly — but more often than not, restoration is the smarter choice.
