Granite Countertops in Tacoma, WA, Shine Again After Our Expert Stone Polishing Process

January 15, 2025

Natural stone surfaces, like granite, bring timeless elegance and exceptional durability to any home. However, maintaining their pristine beauty requires proper care. Daily wear and exposure to harsh cleaning agents can lead to scratches, etching, and dullness, diminishing their natural charm. Over time, these issues become more noticeable, making professional stone polishing essential to rejuvenate the surface and restore its original luster.


A homeowner in Tacoma, WA, contacted us hoping to refresh his granite surfaces. His once beautiful granite countertops had become dull and lacked their original shine.

The inspection proceeded as scheduled, and we quickly identified the issues. The granite was etched, causing dull spots and a lackluster appearance.

After a thorough assessment, we offered our stone polishing service, assuring the client we would revamp the granite surfaces with high-end equipment and exclusive products renowned for their effectiveness. We outlined the restoration process and provided a no-obligation quote, promising to address the issues.

Our professional approach underscores our dedication to excellence, emphasizing punctuality, polished presentation, and the expertise to handle any restoration challenge.

We arrived as scheduled with everything we needed to restore the granite surfaces. After setting up our equipment, we proceeded with the meticulous multi-step process. First, we deep-cleaned the countertop using a high-speed scrubber and our exclusive hard surface cleaner.

Unlike store-bought alternatives, our cleaner contains premium ingredients, leaves no residue, and is gentle on stone surfaces. Next, we prepared the surface for honing and polishing.

We honed the stone using low-grit diamond pads, gradually increasing the grit level to remove the damage. This method resolved all the issues, restoring the granite to its original, pristine condition.

After honing, natural stone surfaces acquire a matte finish, so we needed to polish the countertop to restore its shine. We continued grinding the surface with premium polishing powders until we achieved the desired glossy, reflective sheen.

Then, we applied a special sealant to fortify the surface. This shield protects the stone from spills, water damage, etching, and stains. It also enhances its natural beauty, makes maintenance less troublesome, and can provide long-lasting durability, keeping the surface in excellent condition.

We followed a similar comprehensive restoration process on all the surfaces that needed our attention, leaving them sparkling and beautiful.

The restoration was flawless, and we addressed every detail with precision and care. After cleaning up, we invited the client to review the results. He was thrilled to see his granite countertops gleaming beautifully and thanked us for our excellent work. Pleased with the outcome, he assured us he would recommend our services to anyone needing hard surface restoration.

Before leaving, we emphasized the importance of proper care to prevent deterioration and keep the granite countertops shiny and beautiful. We shared expert recommendations and practical maintenance tips, such as regular cleaning, periodic sealing, and using safe, effective products and techniques to address any issues.

The best option is using pH-neutral, soap-free cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our non-toxic cleaner is gentle on stone surfaces, provides outstanding results, and is safe for everyone in the home, including pets.

Store-bought cleaners are often soap-based and can harm the stone due to their potent chemicals and harsh ingredients. They also leave a residue that can dry on the surface, causing discoloration, staining, and issues like etching.

Use paper towels or terry cloths to remove spills and dry the surface. Store bottles or other wet objects in safe containers to prevent stains, and use cutting boards to avoid scratching the stone when preparing meals.
