Marble & Natural Stone Restoration
Cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing marble, limestone, travertine and granite.
Fault report · what this course prevents
Stone restoration is paid well because it is easy to ruin. One acid cleaner on a marble hallway leaves etch marks that need a machine and three grades of diamond to take out.
