Marble floors give your home or commercial building a stunning, timeless feel. If the marble is damaged or dull, you may start looking at new tile or carpet samples. Not so fast. You might want to think about marble floor restoration first.
Why is restoring your marble floors worth doing?
You already know no other flooring can match marble’s enduring aesthetic appeal. Did you also know that marble can hold up for more than a century? And, while replacing your existing floor with new marble comes with a hefty price tag, professional restoration is affordable and well worth it.
Before you decide to cover up that old marble flooring — or cover your eyes whenever you walk by — read on to find out more about the benefits of marble floor restoration.
Cost-Effective Restoration Services
Most people don’t pay in cash these days, but the point is, restoring your marble floors will be much easier on your bank account than having new marble installed. Of course, costs will vary depending on room size and type of marble, but new flooring can run an average of $4,000 to over $10,000. Restoration will cost a fraction of that total, averaging $2 to $3 per square foot.
Long-Lasting Appeal of Restored Marble
When it comes to durable beauty that never goes out of style, marble comes out on top over wood, laminate, or carpet. With proper care and cleaning, marble can last for 100 years and look good doing it. Builders often use marble in entryways and other high-traffic areas or in kitchens or bathrooms where water is present.
While they are durable, these stunning floors do require a little extra TLC to keep looking their best. We’ll share some easy maintenance tips in a bit.
Marble Floors Add Value
If you plan on keeping your property long-term, you can enjoy your restored marble floors for years to come. On the other hand, if you’re planning on putting your home or commercial property on the market, restoring marble floors will add to the resale value. Marble’s stunning style will capture and hold a potential buyer’s attention — and increase your property’s value — in a way that hardwood or carpet can’t match.
Simple, Convenient Process
While every marble floor restoration project is different, the process itself is efficient and won’t cause much disruption to your daily routine.
Your marble restoration professionals will:
• Repair and/or replace any broken tiles or sections, making sure the floor surface is level.
• Hone or sand the marble flooring to remove scratches.
• Clean and polish the floor.
• Seal the marble to protect the surface.
The marble restoration will leave your floors in top shape, but won’t take much of your time or turn your space upside-down.
Can I DIY my Marble Floor Restoration?
If marble restoration is so simple, you may be wondering if you can handle the project yourself. Though you could buff out a small scratch or stain, we recommend contacting skilled professionals for a full marble floor restoration project. Without the proper tools and expertise, you can actually do more harm than good. Let us handle your marble restoration. That’s what we’re here for.
Maintaining Your Marble Floor
Once we complete your marble floor restoration, you can maintain the floor’s elegant look without much time or effort. Here’s some helpful tips:
• Clean spills (especially things like wine, sauce, or oil) quickly to avoid staining.
• Remove dust and dirt daily using a soft dust mop free of chemicals.
• Skip the vacuum cleaner. If you absolutely have to vacuum, use only a model with a brush attachment, not the upright vacuum itself.
• Avoid harsh cleansers. Use hot water, a detergent with neutral pH, and a microfiber mop.
• Place a floor mat or runner in heavy-traffic areas to protect from outside dirt and grit.
