The Homeowner’s Problem

After purchasing their Paradise Valley home, the homeowners discovered beautiful natural stone floors throughout the property, including a distinctive black-and-white checkerboard marble floor near the courtyard entrance. Because this was one of the first areas visitors would see, they wanted the marble to make a memorable first impression. Surface wear, scratches, and an uneven sheen were distracting from the pattern, so their goal was a cleaner, more consistent finish that would bring out the contrast between the light and dark stone.

Before Photos

Before restoration, the black-and-white marble showed surface scratches, dull areas, and uneven reflections.

Our Restoration Process

Our team restored the checkerboard marble floor through cleaning, localized scratch repair, diamond honing, polishing, and sealing.

01

Deep Cleaning

Deep-cleaned the marble to remove accumulated soil and surface contaminants before refinishing.

02

Scratch Repair

Used handheld diamond abrasives to address localized scratches and worn areas.

03

Honing

Honed the marble with three progressively finer diamond abrasive grits to refine the surface and prepare it for the desired sheen.

04

Polishing

Polished the marble with a polishing powder to enhance the shine and bring out the contrast in the checkerboard pattern.

05

Sealing

Applied a penetrating sealer to help protect the restored marble against staining.
