Natural stone restoration Toronto — Andrews Professional Stone Care

For homeowners who chose real stone.

Natural stone doesn’t maintain itself. It just looks like it does.

Every natural stone surface in your home is responding to its environment right now. Some of it visibly. Some of it not yet.

The stone must be read before the work begins. That requires a rare kind of knowledge.

Most stone restoration failures come down to two things. The stone was misread. Or the technique was wrong for what the stone actually needed.

The craft Ted McFaddenChairman of the committee that wrote the North American Stone Restoration Standard. The benchmark the entire field is measured against. Certified Master Stone Restoration Specialist under his programme. Our training is grounded in the standard he created.
The chemistry Maurizio Bertoli & Stu RosenMB Stone. Founded 1989. The specialty chemistry that changed how professional stone restoration is practised worldwide. Maurizio’s book Natural Stone Maintenance and Restoration is a foundation of our practice. Stu Rosen continues his legacy as our primary chemistry partner.
The forensic intelligence Dr. Fred HuestonForty years. The most extensive body of published work on stone failure analysis in North America. His diagnostic methodology is how we read the stone before anything else happens.

There is almost certainly a cleaning product under your sink right now that is damaging your natural stone. Most household cleaners sit outside the neutral pH 7 zone that is safe for natural stone. Acidic cleaners etch marble, travertine and limestone on contact. Alkaline cleaners strip the sealer from granite and quartzite session by session. The product that smells clean and seems to work is the one doing the quiet damage. It was never formulated for stone. It just never said so on the label.

Polishing returns the finish. Restoration goes deeper. Repair addresses what happened. All three start the same way.

“Beautiful stone doesn’t stay that way on its own.”

About

Stone restoration is technical work. What it does for people is something else entirely.

Andrews Professional Stone Care started by accident. A friend needed help. A temporary change of direction that never changed back. What became clear early was that restoring stone was never really about the stone.
