Quartz & Engineered Stone Restoration by Olson Marble & Stone Care
Professional Care for Modern Surfaces
While quartz and engineered stone are famous for their durability, they are not indestructible. Over time, daily use can lead to dullness, chemical etching, chips, and stubborn "haze" that regular household cleaners simply cannot fix.
At Olson Marble & Stone Care, we specialize in restoring the factory-finish brilliance of your engineered stone. Whether it’s a kitchen island, a bathroom vanity, or a commercial workspace, our expert technicians use specialized tools and compounds designed specifically for the unique resin-based composition of quartz.
Why Your Quartz Needs Professional Attention
Many homeowners are told that quartz is "maintenance-free." However, because engineered stone is a blend of crushed stone and polymer resins, it reacts differently than natural stone to heat, chemicals, and abrasives.
-
Chemical Etching: High-pH cleaners or spilled chemicals can "burn" the resin, leaving cloudy spots.
-
Lime scale & Hard Water: In areas with hard water, minerals can build up on the surface, making it feel rough and look dingy.
-
Chips & Scratches: Heavy pots or dropped items can cause unsightly chips, especially around the sink and edges.
-
Loss of Luster: High-traffic areas can lose their reflective quality over time.
Our Quartz Restoration Services
We offer a full suite of services to bring your engineered stone back to life:
1. Deep Cleaning & Decontamination We remove embedded oils, hard water deposits, and "haze" caused by improper cleaning products, restoring the surface to a hygienic, pristine state.
2. Professional Polishing & Buffing Using specialized pads and quartz-specific polishing compounds, we can remove light surface scratches and restore that deep, "wet look" shine without damaging the resin bond.
3. Chip & Crack Repair Don’t let a chip ruin your beautiful countertop. Our repairs are color-matched and blended to be virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding surface, as seen in our case studies below.
4. Sealing & Protection While most quartz is non-porous, certain "honed" or "matte" finishes can benefit from specialized treatments to prevent finger-printing and oil staining.
The Olson Marble & Stone Care Difference
Expertise You Can Trust Restoring engineered stone is a delicate process. Unlike natural granite or marble, quartz cannot be "re-surfaced" with standard stone-grinding methods, as the heat can melt the resin. We utilize low-heat, high-precision techniques to ensure your surfaces are protected throughout the restoration process.
-
Family Owned & Operated: We treat your home with the same care as our own.
-
Advanced Technology: We use the latest industry-leading equipment specifically rated for engineered stone.
-
Guaranteed Results: We don’t leave until you are satisfied with the look and feel of your stone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can quartz be polished if it gets dull? Yes. While it requires different techniques than natural stone, we can professionally buff and polish quartz to restore its original clarity and shine.
How do I know if my stone is Quartz or Natural Stone? Engineered stone (Quartz) usually has a more uniform pattern, whereas natural stone (Granite/Marble) has random veining. If you aren’t sure, our technicians can identify the material during our initial inspection.
How long does the restoration process take? Most residential quartz projects can be completed in a single day, depending on the square footage and the extent of the repairs needed.
