The travertine, limestone and slate that went into Plano homes through the late 1990s and 2000s is mostly on its second owner now, and it shows up as popped fill, chipped and spalled edges, and tile that no longer sits flat. We repair and reflatten the stone itself on site, honing it back to an even matte surface rather than laying anything over it.
We identify what you actually have underfoot, marble, travertine, limestone or slate, then read how deep the wear goes and test a small area out of the walking lane. You see the test patch and get a firm number before we set up a single machine.
Diamond abrasives take off a hair of stone to remove scratches, etch rings and the flat gray traffic lane. This is mechanical work, not a coating, so what is left is the real stone surface rather than something painted over it.
We step up through progressively finer diamonds until the surface reaches the sheen you chose, whether that is a soft honed satin or the base for a full polish. Every room we touch is carried to the same level so the entry and the hall match.
A powder polish brings the reflection up, then an impregnating sealer goes in to slow future staining. The floor is walkable the same day, and we leave you the cleaner and the short list of what to keep off the stone.
The travertine that went into Plano homes through the late 1990s and 2000s was factory filled, and twenty years on that filler has popped out of the holes across entries, halls and shower floors. Once the voids are open they take in soil and the floor looks permanently dirty no matter who cleans it. We refill and hone the surface flat, which is the step that actually ends the problem.
Stone set in Plano's older homes has been riding a clay slab that moves every season, and the result is tile edges that now sit high against their neighbors. You feel it through a sock, and you see it as a bright line catching light down the hall. Restoration flattens those edges with the machine on the way through, which is something no cleaning or polishing pass can do.
Plano was substantially built out by the late 1990s, so the stone here has been down a full generation longer than the identical looking product in the suburbs further up the tollway. Most of the floors we work on belong to a second owner, or to someone who has been in the same house for twenty or thirty years and is finally updating rather than moving. That changes the job: we are matching stone to a remodel already underway, so we hone to a soft matte that carries the wear the floor has honestly earned instead of chasing the sheen it left the crate with in 1998.
Stone cleaning starts at a $150 minimum, honing and polishing are quoted by stone and area, and either way you get the number quoted upfront before any work begins.
If the travertine in your entry is losing its fill or the limestone in your master bath is chipping along the edges, it can almost certainly be brought back without pulling a single tile. Call Ultra Clean for a walkthrough in your Plano home and a firm price before any work begins.
