• Marble

From high-traffic commercial lobbies in Washington, DC, to elegant residential bathrooms in Bethesda, MD, we have the expertise to handle virtually any stone restoration project in the DMV region.

We use specialized poultices and professional-grade cleaning products to lift stains gently without damaging the surface. If your stone has been etched by acidic substances (like lemon juice or vinegar), we’ll use a honing and polishing process to restore its original finish. Our long-term goal is to remove any signs of discoloration while preserving the integrity of your stone.

Capitol Stone Care uses color-matched fillers, advanced adhesives, and expert repair techniques to address cracks, chips, or major breaks. After meticulously reconstructing or refilling the damaged area, we hone and polish the stone for a seamless finish. Even with significant damage, our specialists can often restore the piece to a state that looks and feels like new.

Lippage is corrected by grinding and leveling uneven stone tiles until they’re perfectly aligned. This process not only creates a safe walking surface but also enhances the floor’s visual appeal. Once the floor is level, we polish and seal it to prevent future wear and maintain a uniform look. This service is particularly popular for luxury marble or travertine floors in high-end properties around the DMV area.

Bathrooms and showers are prone to moisture buildup, which can lead to mold, mildew, soap scum, and mineral deposits on stone tiles and grout lines. Our team uses specialized cleaning solutions that eliminate these contaminants without harming the stone’s surface. We then apply a protective sealant to help keep your shower or bath area cleaner for longer. This service is especially helpful for busy households looking to maintain a pristine, healthy environment.

The frequency of sealing depends on the type of stone, its usage, and the level of foot traffic or exposure. As a general guideline, many natural stone surfaces benefit from sealing every 6-12 months. During our initial assessment, we’ll recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your unique needs. Following this schedule helps keep your stone surfaces looking vibrant and helps prevent stains from penetrating.

Project timelines vary based on the scope of work, the type of stone, and the extent of damage. Simple polishing or sealing jobs may be completed in a single day, while more extensive repairs—like fixing large breaks or correcting lippage—might require multiple days. Capitol Stone Care provides clear timelines and cost estimates upfront so you can plan accordingly.

We strongly recommend using pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone. Harsh, acidic, or abrasive cleaning products can strip the sealant, cause etching, or dull the finish. After your restoration project, we’ll provide guidance on safe, effective cleaning methods to help maintain your stone’s beauty for years to come.
