Tampa Stone Floor Restoration process

Step 1

Move and replace furniture.

Step 2

Tape walls and cabinets to protect them from moisture and residue involved in the process.

Step 3

Fill holes using a polyester product that is colored to blend with the tile.

Step 4

Hone (wet sand) the floors using diamond abrasive pads and water to lubricate the diamonds under a weighted floor machine. We start with aggressive level pads and step up to softer grits that make the stone smoother until we get the floor really smooth and ready to polish.

Step 5

Polish and seal the floor using a product that is designed to give a hard long-lasting shine.
