Polishing in Houston

Houston’s premiere natural stone cleaning and restoration service experts.

Modern Stone Care polishes natural stone in Houston homes and businesses.

If your marble or limestone looks dull, blotchy, or flat after cleaning, polishing brings back depth, clarity, and the reflection you want. We match the finish to your space, from soft satin to a mirror gloss.

Modern Stone Care brings worn, damaged stone back to a like-new finish with full restoration in Houston.

What We Do

  • Tighten the surface with progressive polishing steps for better clarity
  • Dial in your target sheen: matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high gloss
  • Finish with the right Sealer for everyday protection
  • Leave simple care tips so the shine lasts

When Polishing Is The Right Choice

Choose polishing when you see:

  • A dull look even after professional cleaning
  • Light rings and haze that do not wipe away
  • Uneven sheen from room to room
  • A floor that feels smooth but lacks reflection

If you can feel scratches or etch marks with a fingernail, start with Honing first. Polishing is the finishing step that creates the final look.

FAQs

Will polishing remove all scratches and etches?

Polishing removes micro-marks. Deeper damage needs Honing first.

Is a polished floor slippery?

High gloss has less grip than matte. If traction is a concern, choose satin or semi-gloss.

How long does polishing take?

A typical kitchen or primary bath can be done in a day. Larger areas or heavy damage take longer. We will give you a clear plan at the estimate.

How long will the shine last?

With proper care and planned maintenance, the finish holds up well. Heavy traffic areas benefit from periodic touch-ups. See Maintenance Plans.

Do you create dust?

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

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.

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.
