Granite is one of the most durable and versatile natural stones used in homes and commercial spaces. It is commonly installed as kitchen countertops, flooring, and architectural surfaces due to its resistance to heat, scratching, and general wear. While granite requires less maintenance than many other natural stones, it is not maintenance free, and professional care is sometimes necessary to preserve its appearance and performance.
At NYC Marble Care, we provide comprehensive granite restoration, repair, and polishing services throughout New York City and surrounding areas. Our work is focused on restoring granite surfaces safely and correctly, without compromising the stone’s natural structure or finish.
Granite does not etch like marble because it does not contain calcium carbonate. However, problems can still occur over time. Improper sealing, incorrect treatments, or the use of harsh cleaning products can lead to discoloration, uneven appearance, or visible marks after exposure to acidic substances.
Granite surfaces may also suffer damage due to impact, structural stress, or poor installation. Issues such as cracks, chips, surface scratches, and excessive lippage between tiles require professional assessment and repair to prevent further damage.
Because granite is an extremely hard stone, restoration work must be performed using specialized tools, materials, and techniques. Improper grinding or polishing can permanently damage the surface and make restoration more difficult.
Granite floors can experience wear over time, particularly in high traffic environments. In some cases, the stone may lose surface silica, resulting in small pits or craters that affect both appearance and performance. When this occurs, diamond grinding followed by professional polishing is often required to restore a uniform surface.
Granite restoration is more demanding than restoration of softer stones due to its hardness. However, when handled correctly, granite has the ability to achieve an exceptionally high level of polish and long lasting durability.
Granite is widely used across residential and commercial applications, including:
