Frequently Asked Questions About Stone & Tile Care

question marks

How Often Should Natural Stone Be Resealed?

  • To maintain maximum protection, we recommend resealing natural stone every 1 to 3 years. For exterior applications and wet environments—such as walk-in showers or patio stone—it is best to seal at least once a year. For non-wet, indoor environments like kitchen backsplashes or fireplace surrounds, a 1-to-3-year cycle is generally sufficient to prevent staining and moisture intrusion.

Can Chemical Damage From Cleaners Be Corrected On Natural Stone?

In most cases, yes. Whether you have marble, travertine, limestone, granite, onyx, or slate, chemical "etching" can often be reversed. Depending on the depth of the penetration, we can hone and refinish the stone to your specific preference. Our stone restoration process offers various textures, including matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-mirrored gloss finishes, to bring back that factory-fresh look.

What Type Of Grout Do You Use For Installations And Repairs?

At Rock’N Renewal & Restoration, we prioritize durability and hygiene. During our tile restoration projects, we typically replace failing or porous cement-based products with a high-performance, two-component epoxy grout whenever possible to ensure a leak-proof and stain-resistant finish.

Why Is Epoxy Grout The Best Choice For My Home?

We use two-component epoxy grout because it is a "lifetime" product. It is naturally self-sealing, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial. Unlike standard grout, it does not require periodic resealing as long as it is properly maintained, making it the ideal choice for Seattle’s high-moisture environments.

question marks

Why Is Professional Grout Cleaning Necessary?

Standard mopping often pushes dirt and dirty water deeper into porous grout lines. Our professional grout cleaning services use specialized equipment to extract deep-seated grime and bacteria. Following a deep clean, we can apply high-quality sealants or transition your surfaces to epoxy grout to ensure they stay pristine for years to come.
