Yes, stone restoration can boost your home's value by enhancing its appearance and extending the life of your stone surfaces. Restoring stone is usually more cost-effective than replacing it. New natural stone flooring costs between $6 and $20 per square foot, while new stone countertops range from $10 to $100 per square foot. Since stone is highly durable, repairing and restoring it whenever possible makes practical and financial sense.
Lippage is when one tile's edge extends higher than its neighboring tile, creating an uneven surface on your home’s countertops or floor. Fixing lippage involves grinding down the elevated tile until it's flush with the adjacent tile, improving both safety and appearance. This repair costs between $120 and $500.
Stone surfaces can last from 15 to 100 years before needing restoration. Regular cleaning with pH-neutral solutions, routine vacuuming, and resealing every one to five years help preserve the stone's integrity and beauty. Proactive maintenance extends the life of your stone and enhances your home's value. Your stone restoration pro can give you maintenance tips so you keep your stone looking its best for longer.
