Our Process
From first photo to sealed stone.
Text or email photos of your stone surfaces. Let us know the stone type if you know it, and whether it is indoor, outdoor, or around a pool. We will recommend the right approach.
Stone must be perfectly clean and dry for sealer to penetrate properly. We remove soil, mineral deposits, old sealer residue, and any buildup that would block absorption.
We apply multiple thin coats of professional-grade penetrating sealer matched to your stone type and location. Each coat is allowed to absorb fully before the next.
We perform a water bead test to confirm the sealer is working properly before we leave. You will see water sitting on the surface instead of soaking in.
Where We Seal Stone
Countertops, floors, and pool decks each have different exposure and wear patterns. Here is how we handle the most common stone surfaces in Henderson homes.
Kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities deal with water, oils, and acidic spills daily. Proper sealing gives you time to wipe up spills before they stain. We match the sealer to your specific stone type for the best protection.
Henderson's desert dust is fine grit that gets tracked in and ground into unsealed stone. Sealing protects the surface and makes daily cleaning more effective. We seal travertine, marble, limestone, and granite floors.
Pool chemicals, UV exposure, and extreme heat destroy standard sealers within months. We use UV-resistant, chlorine-safe penetrating sealers formulated for Henderson's outdoor conditions.
Stone-Specific Sealing
We match the right sealer to your stone type, porosity, and location. Here is how we approach each one.
Granite is dense but not stain-proof. Darker granites are generally more resistant, but lighter colors like Kashmir White and Colonial Gold absorb oils and liquids if unsealed. Henderson hard water leaves mineral deposits that penetrate unsealed granite quickly.
Marble is one of the most porous natural stones. It etches from acidic contact and stains easily without proper sealing. Calacatta and Carrara marble in Henderson kitchens and bathrooms need consistent sealer maintenance to stay looking clean.
Quartzite varies in porosity. Some varieties like Taj Mahal are relatively dense, while others like Fantasy Brown absorb quickly. We test your specific quartzite to determine how much sealer it needs and how often it should be reapplied.
Travertine is highly porous with natural holes that trap dirt and moisture. It is the most common outdoor stone in Henderson, used on pool decks, patios, and walkways. Outdoor travertine needs UV-resistant sealer that can handle pool chemicals and extreme heat.
Limestone is soft, porous, and highly reactive to acids. It needs the most frequent sealing of any natural stone. Henderson homes with limestone entries, fireplace surrounds, or bathroom floors should maintain a strict sealing schedule.
Engineered quartz (Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone) does not need traditional sealing because the resin binder makes it non-porous. However, the surface can still benefit from professional cleaning and a protective treatment that helps resist scratches and maintains the factory finish.
Before Your Appointment
Most sealing jobs take 2-4 hours. Larger areas like pool decks or full-house floors may take a full day. We work efficiently and clean up when done.
Surfaces need to be clean and dry. If your stone needs cleaning or polishing first, we can do that as part of the same visit.
Penetrating sealers typically cure in 24-48 hours. Light foot traffic is usually fine after a few hours, but we will give you specific timing.
We quote per job based on stone type, square footage, and condition. You will know the full cost before we start.
Local Expertise
Henderson has some of the hardest water in the country at 278 parts per million. Those minerals constantly attack sealer bonds on countertops, shower walls, and anywhere water touches stone. Add 300+ days of intense UV and summer heat above 115 degrees, and builder-grade sealers fail within months.
Our technicians are IICRC-certified and use professional-grade penetrating sealers that are formulated for desert conditions. We do not use the same product on every stone. Granite, marble, travertine, and quartzite each need different sealers matched to their porosity and location. We train other professionals in these techniques.
Pricing
Every job starts with a free estimate. Our minimum visit is $700, and most jobs come in around $1,200.
Sealing one small vanity on its own usually costs less than our minimum. So most visits cover every stone surface that needs it: the kitchen counters, the bathroom vanities, and sometimes a floor or shower. If the stone is dull or etched, we will tell you whether it should be restored before it is sealed.
Common Questions
It depends on the stone type and where it is installed. With regular use, indoor granite countertops typically need resealing every six months to a year. Marble and limestone need it more frequently because they are more porous. Pool decks and outdoor travertine may need annual sealing because of UV and chemical exposure. We test your existing sealer and recommend a schedule based on your specific situation.
Penetrating sealers soak into the stone's pores and block moisture from within. They do not change the look or feel of the stone. Topical sealers sit on top of the surface like a coating. They can peel, trap moisture, and cause clouding over time. We use penetrating sealers exclusively because they last longer and perform better in Henderson's climate.
Yes. If the old sealer is failing or incompatible, we strip it first so the new sealer can properly penetrate. If the existing sealer is still in reasonable condition, we can sometimes apply over it. We test before starting so you know what to expect.
