Bring Granite Back to the Finish It Had on Day One

Granite Restoration and Care Services in New York City

Granite is durable, but it isn't invincible. Years of cooking, cleaning, and daily use leave granite countertops, floors, and surfaces dull, stained, or damaged. Professional granite restoration in NYC brings back the depth, shine, and protection that made you choose granite to begin with.

Decades of Granite-Specific Work

Granite is different from marble — harder, denser, less reactive — and the restoration techniques are different too. We've specialized in both for decades.

Diamond Polishing for Real Depth

We use professional diamond abrasives to bring back the deep, mirror-like polish that cheap rebuffing services can't match.

Chip and Crack Repair

Cracked corners, chipped edges, and impact damage get repaired with color-matched stone fillers so the fix is invisible from arm's length.

Sealer That Actually Protects Granite

Granite needs a sealer formulated for dense stone — the wrong product just sits on top. We use the right one and it lasts.

What Granite Restoration Actually Covers

Granite Care Services in NYC

Granite restoration includes everything needed to bring tired, damaged, or neglected granite back to the finish it had when it was installed. That means deep cleaning to remove embedded grime, repairing chips and cracks, removing stubborn stains, repolishing dull areas, and resealing to protect against the next round of use. We handle granite countertops, floors, vanities, fireplace surrounds, and exterior cladding across NYC.

01The mirror-like shine that originally caught your eye in the showroom comes back, and light reflects off the surface the way it did on installation day.

02Dull, hazy areas around the sink and stove — where most kitchen wear happens — are restored to match the rest of the countertop perfectly.

03Oil and grease stains that you assumed were permanent come out through professional poulticing that draws contaminants up out of the stone.

04Chips and cracks at edges, corners, and around the sink cutout are repaired with color-matched fillers that disappear visually from normal viewing distance.

05Fresh sealer is applied so water and oil bead up on the surface instead of soaking in, which buys you years of easier cleaning and stain resistance.

06The granite stops looking dated. Properties with restored granite show much better, whether you're selling, refinancing, or just hosting guests at home.

Why Granite Still Needs Restoration

Granite Wear and Damage in NYC Homes

Granite is one of the hardest stones used in residential and commercial settings, but it still wears. Repeated contact with cookware scratches edges. Hard water deposits build up around faucets. Oil from cooking soaks into unsealed areas and darkens the stone. Heavy objects chip corners. Decades of sealer failure leave the surface vulnerable. None of this is fixed by household cleaning, no matter how dedicated you are.

What Our Granite Restoration Includes

Granite Polishing and Sealing NYC

Deep cleaning with stone-safe degreasers to lift cooking oil and embedded grime. Stain treatment through poulticing where the contaminant has soaked in. Repair of any chips, cracks, or impact damage. Re-polishing with progressive diamond pads to restore the original depth. Sealing with a high-quality impregnating sealer rated for dense stone. The work is done on-site so you don't have to move counters or shut down the kitchen for days.

Inspection and Plan

We assess the granite's condition, identify what needs repair vs. resurfacing, and walk you through the scope and timing before any work starts.

Repair and Refinish

Chips and cracks are filled, stains are pulled out with poultices, and the surface is re-polished with diamond pads to restore the original depth.

Seal and Protect

Final cleaning and a fresh coat of impregnating sealer leave the granite ready for normal use the next day and protected for years to come.

How often does granite need professional restoration in NYC kitchens?

For most NYC residential kitchens, granite countertops benefit from professional restoration every five to ten years, depending on use. Heavy-cooking households and rental properties may want it sooner. Commercial kitchens and high-traffic counters in restaurants typically need it more frequently. We can do an assessment and give you an honest timeline based on actual condition.

Can stubborn stains be removed from granite countertops?

Most can. Oil-based stains respond well to poulticing — a process where a paste is applied to draw the contaminant up out of the stone over twelve to forty-eight hours. Water stains and hard-water deposits usually polish out. Some deep ink or dye stains take multiple treatments, and a small number are permanent. We tell you upfront which category your stain falls into.

Will restoration fix scratches on granite from cookware and knives?

Yes. Granite is hard, but it's not scratch-proof. Cast iron, steel, and ceramic cookware can leave thin lines, and so can cutlery used directly on the surface. Professional repolishing removes the scratches by smoothing out the top layer of the stone. The repair is permanent — the scratches do not come back unless you continue to use the surface as a cutting board.

How long should sealer last on granite after restoration?

A high-quality impregnating sealer properly applied to clean, dry granite typically lasts three to five years on countertops and longer on lower-traffic surfaces like fireplace surrounds. The water-bead test is the easy way to check — splash water on the counter, and if it stops beading and starts darkening the stone, it's time to reseal. We can also handle the resealing on an annual or biannual maintenance schedule.

Can damaged granite edges or chips be repaired without replacing the slab?

Yes, in almost all cases. We use color-matched two-part resins to rebuild chipped edges and corners. The repair is hardened, polished, and blended into the surrounding stone so it's invisible from arm's length. Full slab replacement is almost never necessary unless the granite has structural cracking from a major impact.

How long does a typical granite restoration take in a NYC kitchen?

A standard kitchen with one island and perimeter counters takes a single day in most cases. Larger kitchens, more extensive repairs, or restoration that includes a backsplash refinish can stretch into a second day. We give you a specific time estimate during the initial assessment so you can plan around the work.
