Your Stone

Using natural stone is a significant investment in any property. We take seriously our responsibility to make sure that your investment retains its natural beauty and value for a lifetime. Because of our commitment to proper care, we supply all of our clients with a detailed care guide and quart samples of the proper cleaning products to use.

Don't wait for problems to occur.

In today’s homes, owners, builders and designers are discovering countless creative applications for natural stone. If stone is properly maintained from the beginning, it will enhance the beauty and value of a home or business for many years to come. In fact, the Natural Stone Council has released a study that found that marble, granite and other natural stone used in flooring would last 100 years when properly maintained. Even if the stone has not been properly maintained our services can bring the condition back to original factory finish making the stone appear as a new install.

American Elite Stone Care seeks to provide our clients with a seamless approach to resolving whatever stone maintenance or restoration projects they may have. Dirt, grime, stains, etching, hard water stains, and sealant breakdown can all contribute to the degeneration of a stone’s surface. We can restore your surfaces to like new condition.

Services we provide:

Stone Restoration and Polishing: Grinding, honing, cleaning and polishing most types of stone surfaces such as marble, travertine and limestone. Heavy lippage or stock removal, crack and chip repair, scratch and stain removal, fine polishing or conditioning.

Our restoration process is known as diamond grinding and honing, which gives the stone better clarity and reflectivity than other methods that can be used, such as the use of sanding screens, honing powders or topical coatings. A stone floor that has been restored this way will also retain its look longer than it will with the use of other methods. This preferred method also means that floors will have to be repolished every 4-6 years compared to every 1-2 years (as with other methods). More info on Stone Restoration.

Sealing Your Natural Stone: Many stones need to be sealed to inhibit staining. We use some of the most technically advanced sealers on the market today which allows us to offer a limited lifetime warranty against staining on all stone surfaces that have sealer applied by us. This warranty applies to both newly installed and existing stone surfaces. Stains can be substantially inhibited by protecting your investment with a protective sealant. Impregnating Sealers are most suitable for marble, travertine, limestone, granite and onyx.

Decorative Stone Finishes: Not only do we offer a full range of cleaning, protection and restoration services, we are also able to produce any decorative finish desired by a client. For example, we can take a high polished finish and hone it or vice versa.

Grout Sealing: We can protect your new or existing tile grout by applying impregnating sealer to create a barrier to protect it from most stains and contaminates.

Saltillo (Mexican Paver) Sealing, Staining and Finishing: Saltillo, commonly called Mexican pavers, or clay pavers, are very popular in the Southwest. Today, many homeowners want to enhance the beauty of them by staining, coloring or “washing” them to match their decor. Additionally, sealing and finishing them enhances their beauty and adds an important layer of protection from stains and other surface damages.

Saltillo (Mexican Paver) Stripping and Restoration: Saltillo can also be restored or refinished to look brand new. If your Saltillo is in disrepair, all surface finishes, waxes and dirt can be chemically stripped. Once the original surface is restored, your Saltillo can be sealed using using any of a variety of staining and coloring options that are available.

One underlying principle drives all of our work...

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. We will never bid low and cut corners – the result would be poor workmanship and an unhappy client. We quote honestly, according to what will serve you best. The result is professional, highest-quality work and service, and a completely satisfied client. When we complete a job, the stone not only reflects on your image; it reflects our standards and work ethic. Stone is our passion.
