The countertop makes the kitchen. It’s the work surface where you prepare food, eat casual family meals, perhaps even pay bills and help your kids with their homework. And of all the countertop materials you can buy, stone is the gold standard for both durability and character.
Every rock pulled from the earth has its own mineral color, veining, and speckles, brought vividly to life by stoneworkers’ saws and polishing wheels. So whether you select a solid burgundy quartzite, a sky-blue granite, or a beige travertine-embedded with fossilized seashells, it will be as distinctive as an original work of art.
And as permanent, too. Unaffected by hot pans or water, a stone countertop will last as long as your house—maybe even longer. It needs only a little routine care and forethought to ward off water marks, stains, and etching typically caused by acidic foods. But even if the worst happens—a chipped edge, a red wine spill—most stones can be restored by a professional. At Spartan Stone Care we bring our expertise to the rescue, we fight the stone issues like true Spartans and bring your countertops back to life.
Why is it better to restore your kitchen countertop instead if replacing it?
Simple answer is – Price: The high cost of quarrying, shipping, and fabricating stone makes it one of the most expensive countertop choices. With the professional restoration and repair services we can bring your stone to its original appearance at the small fraction of that price.
Natural stones are brittle. Stone will crack if it’s not evenly supported. Cabinet tops must be flat and level or covered with plywood and shimmed level. Spartan Stone Care offers stone repair services like chip and crack repair of kitchen countertops.
Travertine, limestone, and marble blemish easily if not periodically sealed; less porous stones, such as Vermont slate and soapstone, are more resilient. Stones may be vulnerable to acids: Citrus fruits, vinegar, and cleaners with bleach or ammonia will etch marbles, limestones, and travertines, even if sealed. Spartan Stone Care is specializing in countertop restoration, countertop polishing, stain and etch mark removal of kitchen countertops.
