Limestone Polishing and Restoration in Las Vegas, NV
Limestone is a beautiful natural stone, but it is softer than granite and can etch from acidic spills, harsh cleaners, and hard water. We restore limestone with a gentle process: deep cleaning, honing, polishing (satin or low sheen), and sealing.
About This Service
Limestone polishing in Las Vegas is different than polishing marble or granite. Limestone is softer, more porous, and easier to etch, which means the goal is not "maximum shine," it is a consistent finish that looks clean, smooth, and natural. In the Las Vegas Valley, limestone is commonly used on floors, showers, tub decks, vanities, fireplaces, accent walls, and countertops, especially in higher-end homes. If your limestone looks dull, chalky, scratched, or spotty, it usually needs professional honing and polishing, not stronger cleaners. We specialize in limestone polishing and restoration across Las Vegas and Southern Nevada, using low-pressure diamond honing, targeted repair for etch marks and scratches, and breathable sealing options that protect without changing the stone's character.
Signs Your Limestone Needs Professional Attention
Visual indicators that indicate it's time for restoration
- Dull, matte spots where stone was once uniform
- White powdery residue that returns after cleaning
- Light scratches visible in certain lighting
- Blotchy or uneven sheen across the surface
- Rough patches that feel different than surrounding stone
- Edges that appear worn or rounded
- Stains that seem to have soaked into the stone
Why Limestone Damage Happens in Las Vegas
Las Vegas conditions create unique challenges for natural stone
- Limestone is softer and more porous than marble, making it vulnerable to Las Vegas hard water
- Desert dust contains silica particles that scratch soft limestone surfaces
- Efflorescence (white salt deposits) is common due to moisture evaporating quickly in dry climate
- Acidic cleaning products marketed for 'hard water' often etch limestone
- Temperature swings between AC interiors and 115°F exteriors stress the stone
Our restoration process is specifically designed for Las Vegas conditions, using products and techniques that address these local factors.
Limestone polishing for floors, showers, and countertops
Limestone floors benefit from professional polishing to remove dull traffic paths, light scratches, and uneven sheen. Limestone showers need attention to hard water haze, soap buildup, and mineral deposits that accumulate over time. Limestone countertops often show etch marks from acidic spills, and polishing restores a smooth finish while reducing staining risk. We tailor our approach to each surface type, ensuring the finished result is consistent, natural-looking, and easier to maintain.
Common limestone problems we fix
Limestone is softer and more porous than marble or granite, which makes it vulnerable to several common issues. Etching from acidic liquids like coffee, juice, wine, and cleaning products leaves dull spots that won't wipe away. Scratches from sand, furniture movement, and foot traffic create visible wear patterns. White deposits from hard water and efflorescence (mineral salts migrating to the surface) can make limestone look chalky or blotchy. Grout haze and buildup around limestone tile edges make floors look dirty even after mopping. Professional honing and polishing address these problems by removing the damaged surface layer and restoring a uniform finish.
Limestone tile and grout care
If your limestone is tile, grout often holds the dirt and minerals that make floors look permanently "dirty." Standard mopping cannot remove embedded grime from porous grout lines, and the contrast between clean stone and dirty grout makes the entire floor look neglected. We clean limestone tile and grout together so the finished surface looks even and stays easier to maintain. After cleaning, we can seal both the limestone and grout to slow future staining and reduce maintenance frequency.

Yes. For limestone tile floors and showers, grout lines often hold dirt and mineral deposits. We clean limestone tile and grout as a system so the surface looks even after polishing and sealing.
