High-Traffic Wear

Modern Stone Care fixes traffic lanes on stone floors in Houston.

If your main walk paths look gray, dull, and scratched even after mopping, we clean, hone, polish, and seal so the whole room matches again.

What’s Going On

Traffic lanes collect grit. Shoes grind that grit into the stone and flatten the finish. Cleaners can leave residue that hides color and makes floors look cloudy. Over time you see gray paths, light scratches, and uneven shine from wall to wall.

When High-Traffic Repair Is The Right Choice

Choose this service when you see:

Gray walk paths that never brighten after mopping
Fine scratches you can feel with a fingernail
Blotchy shine where lanes look dull and edges look shiny
Entry tiles that look tired compared to the rest of the room

If the floor is only dirty or sticky, start with Stone Cleaning. If you also have feelable tile edges, see Scratches & Lippage.

FAQs

Will polishing alone fix traffic lanes?

Not if you can feel scratches. Lanes need Honing first, then Polishing.

Can you blend only the worn areas?

Yes. We target lanes and feather into surrounding stone so the room matches.

Do you create a lot of dust?

We use wet methods and containments to control dust and keep work zones tidy.

How long do results last?

With proper mats, safe cleaners, and planned touch-ups, lanes stay bright much longer. Busy entries may need quarterly service.

How soon can we walk on it?

Light foot traffic is usually fine the same day. If we seal, we will share simple cure times.

Review by Bruce G.

Modern Stone Care did a first rate professional job on cleaning and sealing the travertine tile on our rear patio and front entranceway. See photos. They were on time and were a pleasure to work with. They explained the process as the work was done. All of our furniture was moved out of the way and when the work was done placed back.

Review by Stevem B.

Modern Stone Care did a great job on restoring 29 year old travertine kitchen floor tile. They also showed us how to keep care of the floor tile. Price was very fair. Not supposed to use Pine Sol, as not good for floor stone (I have been using Pine Sol for last two years).. MSC polished the stone and restored its sheen. Great job!

Review by Kevin S.

We had Modern Stone Care refinish our countertops. They let us see a matte finish before doing all of the countertops and after we saw it we really liked it. It only took them a couple of hours. They did a great job and I would definitely use them again

Review by Scott B.

What an amazing job modern stone care did on my marble floors, oh my goodness! I’ve never had my marble floors cleaned until today, now I regret not doing it sooner. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to see a significant improvement and their stone floors. Really nice folks who come to the house and they leave the house very clean and neat.
