"We had cracks in our travertine floor. Robert and Josh did a great job repairing them. There was some etching and Robert made that disappear. Most of all, they were professional, friendly, and efficient. The cost was fairly priced. Yes, yes, yes, we definitely recommend this company."

"Great company! Came out initially to provide a quote for 4 kitchen countertops, 5 bathroom countertops, and 2 laundry countertops. We were thinking of replacing all the countertops, however we were looking at 50K to 60K and weeks in disarray during construction. Expert Stone Repair made all of them look like new. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was done as well as the finishes. Highly recommended."

Our Process
From photos to filled, honed, polished, and sealed travertine.
Text us close-ups and a wide shot. We look for holes, haze, lippage, grout condition, and whether the travertine is indoor, outdoor, or wet-area stone.
We remove soil, oils, mineral buildup, and loose debris so repairs bond properly and the true stone condition is visible.
Hole filling, crack repair, chip repair, grout correction, and diamond honing are done before any polishing so the finish looks even.
We finish to the right sheen for the area, then apply a penetrating sealer. Outdoor areas get UV-aware products designed for desert exposure.

Where we restore travertine
Pool decks, floors, showers, and countertops all wear differently. The repair plan changes based on water exposure, finish, and how the surface is used.
Traffic lanes, dirty holes, dull finish, lippage, and grout issues on indoor floors and entries.
Sun-faded, chemically bleached, rough, or stained travertine around pools and outdoor living areas.
Hard water haze, soap residue, dark grout lines, and rough travertine in wet areas.
Etching, oil staining, water rings, open holes, and dull spots on travertine counters or vanities.
Common problems
Most travertine jobs are not one single issue. They are usually a mix of holes, haze, grout, wear, and failed sealer.
Travertine naturally has voids. When they stay open or old fill breaks out, the surface traps soil and looks dirty again right after cleaning.
White haze near showers, faucets, and wet areas is often mineral buildup plus etched stone underneath. More scrubbing will not solve it.
Las Vegas sun, chlorine, salt systems, and sunscreen can bleach outdoor travertine and break down sealer faster than indoor stone.
Uneven tiles catch toes and furniture. Dirty grout lines make the whole floor look neglected even when the stone is clean.
Before your appointment
Small repairs can take a few hours. Full floors and pool decks often need one day or more depending on size and repairs.
Clear furniture, rugs, and loose items. Pool decks need clear access around the pool and patio areas.
Honed and satin finishes are most common. Higher polish is possible on some indoor travertine.
Sealer cure times vary. We will tell you when to walk, clean, or expose the surface to water.

Las Vegas conditions
Travertine is calcium-based and porous. Las Vegas hard water leaves minerals in holes, grout, and surface texture. Desert dust works like sandpaper on floors. Around pools, chlorine, salt systems, sunscreen, and intense sun break down sealer faster than indoor stone.
That is why we do not treat every travertine surface the same way. A honed interior floor, a wet shower wall, and a pool deck all need different cleaning, repair, finish, and sealing choices.
Common questions
Yes. We use color-matched fillers that bond to the stone and blend with the surrounding travertine. We can fill individual holes, refill failed patches, or fill an entire floor so it is easier to clean.
Yes. Pool decks are one of the most common travertine calls in Las Vegas. We clean, repair chips and cracks, address worn fill, hone rough areas, and seal with outdoor products made for UV exposure and pool chemistry.
Usually, yes. Las Vegas hard water leaves mineral buildup that bonds to travertine and grout. We remove the buildup, refinish the damaged stone underneath, repair grout where needed, and seal the surface so it stays easier to maintain.
We can reduce many lippage problems with professional diamond honing. If a tile is loose or the substrate has failed, we will tell you before starting. Some structural movement needs tile reset or replacement rather than surface polishing.
Most travertine looks best with a honed or satin finish because it keeps the natural character and hides everyday wear. Higher polish is possible in some indoor areas. Sealing is usually recommended after restoration, especially on floors, showers, and pool decks.
Small repairs can often be done in a few hours. Full floors usually take one day or more depending on square footage, holes, lippage, grout condition, and finish level. Pool decks may need more time for prep and sealer cure.
Yes. Send a wide photo of the whole area plus close-ups of holes, haze, cracks, grout, or worn spots. We can usually give you a practical read before scheduling an in-home assessment.
