Granite Restoration & Maintenance
Renowned for its durability and striking visual appeal, granite is a top choice for kitchen countertops, floors, commercial lobbies, and more. While it’s often considered a low-maintenance material, regular wear, spills, and daily use can still lead to visible imperfections over time. At Capitol Stone Care, we offer comprehensive granite restoration, repair, and maintenance services across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia—ensuring your granite looks as stunning years down the line as it did on the day it was installed.
Why Choose Granite?
- Exceptional Durability: Granite’s natural hardness makes it resistant to scratches, heat, and general wear—ideal for busy kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.
- Diverse Aesthetics: Available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, granite can complement any design style.
- Long-Term Investment: Well-maintained granite surfaces not only add elegance but also enhance property value over the long term.
Common Granite Issues
- Staining & Discoloration:
While granite is less porous than some other stones, it can still absorb liquids—like oil or wine—if not properly sealed. - Etching (Rare but Possible):
Acidic substances can cause mild etching on certain types of granite, although it’s more common in softer stones like marble and limestone. - Chips & Cracks:
Heavy impact, repeated stress in one area, or natural fissures in the stone can lead to small chips or cracks over time. - Dullness & Scratches:
Regular use, abrasive cleaners, or constant contact with rough objects may dull granite’s polished surface or leave scratch marks. - Poor Sealing:
Inadequate or infrequent sealing can lead to moisture penetration and stains
Our Granite Restoration Process
- Inspection & Assessment: We examine the granite’s condition, identifying stains, cracks, and level of seal protection. This helps us create a targeted plan for cleaning, repair, and restoration.
- Deep Cleaning: Using professional-grade stone cleaners, we remove embedded dirt, grease, and other contaminants without damaging the granite’s surface.
- Repair & Filling: We address chips and cracks with color-matched resins or epoxy to ensure the repaired area blends seamlessly with the surrounding stone.
- Polishing & Refinishing: Depending on your granite’s finish—polished or honed—we use specialized abrasives to restore its natural luster, smooth out minor scratches, and create a uniform sheen.

Care & Maintenance Tips
While granite is known for its resilience, proper care ensures it remains in pristine condition:
- Use Mild, pH-Neutral Cleaners: Harsh chemicals or acidic solutions can gradually degrade the sealant.
- Wipe Spills Quickly: Even though granite is more stain-resistant than other stones, quick cleanup prevents potential staining.
- Protect with Trivets & Cutting Boards: While granite is heat-resistant, using trivets can help preserve its polish.
- Routine Sealing: Depending on usage and foot traffic, scheduling sealing once or twice a year helps maintain granite’s protective barrier.
