Stone Surface Cleaning

What This Service Involves

Stone patios, walls, and veneers develop moss, algae, and organic staining in the shaded, moist conditions common across the region. We clean stone with methods matched to whether it is hard granite or porous sandstone, protecting softer stone from etching or pitting. Careful treatment lifts the growth and staining from the surface and out of the joints without harming the material. The stone returns to its natural color, free of the film and buildup that dull it.
