Expert Stone Repair Services
Travertine Countertop Restoration in Las Vegas
Travertine countertops develop etching from acidic foods and dull spots from daily use. We restore the warm, natural beauty with safe, professional methods.
About This Service
Travertine countertops offer a warm, classic look that many homeowners love. But the porous stone reacts to acids in common foods and cleaning products, developing etch marks and dull spots over time. Holes can collect debris and bacteria. Professional restoration addresses all these issues: we hone out etching, fill holes with color-matched material, and seal with food-safe products appropriate for kitchen use.
Signs Your Travertine Needs Professional Attention
Visual indicators that indicate it's time for restoration
- Light spots or rings where acids touched
- Rough texture where stone was smooth
- Dark holes that don't clean out
- Stains that won't come up
- Uneven appearance across the surface
Why Travertine Countertops Etch in Las Vegas
Las Vegas conditions create unique challenges for natural stone
- Travertine reacts to any acid: citrus, wine, vinegar, tomato, and most cleaning products
- Dry desert air causes liquids to evaporate quickly, concentrating acids on the surface
- Hard water around sinks adds mineral deposits to the etching problem
- Porous stone absorbs oils and stains faster than denser stones
- Builder-grade sealers often fail within the first year
Our restoration process is specifically designed for Las Vegas conditions, using products and techniques that address these local factors.
