Natural stone is a material that lasts decades, but only with the right care. This guide brings our full experience together on one page: from choosing the stone to daily maintenance and restoration. In each section you'll find a link to the more detailed article or the relevant service.

Step 1. Choosing the right stone

Everything starts with the material, and that decision determines the care for all the years that follow. The most common question is marble or granite, where the first is beautiful but soft and the second more durable. If you're weighing a warmer, more natural look, see our marble vs travertine comparison.

In Armenia, local volcanic stones hold a special place: tuff and basalt, which demand a completely different approach from imported marble. More on that in our article on caring for Armenian tuff and basalt.

Step 2. When stone needs treatment

Stone doesn't complain, but it does give signals. Faded shine, acid marks, visible traffic paths: these are all signs. The full list is in how to know if your floor needs polishing.

It's also important to understand which work is needed: grinding vs polishing explains the difference and helps you order the work correctly.

Step 3. Grinding and polishing

This is our core service: natural stone polishing, with diamond discs in progressively finer grits, through to a mirror shine.

A frequent question: can you do it yourself? The honest answer is in DIY vs professional polishing. And on pricing, see how much marble polishing costs in Yerevan.

Step 4. Cleaning and stain removal

Everyday dirt and specific stains call for different approaches. For deep cleaning, there's our cleaning service. For a practical guide to tackling specific stains, see how to remove stains from marble.

Step 5. Regular maintenance, so you restore less often

The cheapest restoration is the one you never need. Regular maintenance and sealing pushes back the need for repolishing by years. For a concrete schedule of what, when and how often, see our maintenance schedule article.

Step 6. Repairing damage

Deep scratches, cracks and acid etching are the domain of our restoration service. For the specific case of kitchen countertops, see countertop scratch repair, and for full countertop treatment, our countertop service.

Where we work

We serve all of Armenia, from Yerevan to Gyumri, Vanadzor, Dilijan and other cities. The full list is on our service areas page.

In summary

The golden rule for natural stone is simple: choose well, maintain regularly, and intervene early while the problem is still small. That way a stone floor serves for decades while keeping its appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does a marble floor need polishing?+

With proper care, every 5-10 years. Without regular maintenance and sealing, considerably more often. Regular maintenance is the cheapest investment in the long run.

Why does it matter which type of stone I have?+

Because calcareous stones (marble, travertine) react to acids while silicate stones (granite, basalt) do not. The wrong cleaning product can cause irreversible damage.

Do you work outside Yerevan?+

Yes, we serve all of Armenia, including Gyumri, Vanadzor, Vagharshapat, Hrazdan, Abovyan, Kapan and Dilijan. For more distant cities we group orders together.
