Natural Stone Floor Restoration Miami – What Every Homeowner Should Know

Natural stone is timeless — but Miami’s climate doesn’t play fair.
Marble gets etched. Travertine fills up with dirt. Limestone scratches. Terrazzo dulls out. Even granite loses its clarity over time.

At Keep It Clean Carpets and Tile, we’ve restored thousands of natural stone floors across Miami-Dade. From Coral Gables estates to Brickell condos, Pinecrest kitchens to Key Biscayne patios — we’ve seen every type of stone, every damage pattern, and every climate-related issue.

This guide explains why stone fails, how to restore it, how to maintain it, and most importantly — how to protect your investment.

And yes, this blog will naturally route you to the exact internal pages where you can learn more about each stone type and service.

Miami’s environment is beautiful — but harsh on stone:

• High humidity = trapped moisture under tiles

• Salt air = etching and mineral staining

• Sunscreen + pool chemicals = surface dulling

• Sand = micro-scratching

• Cleaning ladies using the wrong chemicals = disaster

Most homeowners don’t realize their stone is deteriorating until:

• It looks cloudy

• It feels rough

• It won’t shine

• The grout looks dirty

• High-traffic paths form

• The floor looks “old”

This is normal.
This is fixable.
And this is why stone restoration exists.

We’re not a franchise — we’re your local pros who care about results and reputation.  Each stone has its own personality, its own problems, and its own science.

This is where Miami homeowners realize the difference between “cleaning” and actual restoration.

1. Inspection & Surface Evaluation

We identify etching, scratching, lippage, hollow tiles, and prior coatings.

2. Deep Cleaning & Grout Purification

Restoration starts with removing the dirt embedded in stone pores and grout.

3. Stone Honing (400–800 Grit)

This removes scratches, dullness, etches, and traffic patterns.

4. Polishing or Matte Finish Refinement

Depending on the stone, we deliver:

• High gloss

• Soft sheen

• Satin finish

• Matte honed finish

5. Hole Filling & Edge Work

Travertine? Limestone? We patch every void.

6. Sealing with Premium Stone Sealers

We protect the stone using the same high-end sealers used in luxury hotels.

7. Final Inspection

Every edge, every corner, every reflection line is checked.

• Why does natural stone lose its shine in Miami?  Miami’s humidity, salt air, cleaning chemicals, and foot traffic all cause etching, scratching, and dullness. Even brand-new marble or travertine can lose clarity fast. Restoration brings the surface back to life.
• Can all natural stone be restored?  Yes — marble, travertine, limestone, terrazzo, granite, and quartzite can all be revived with the right tools and technique. Each stone just requires a different process.
• How often should natural stone be sealed in Miami?  Most Miami homes should seal every 12–18 months. The climate, plus indoor cleaners, break down protection faster than in other states.
• Can you remove scratches and etches from marble?  Absolutely. Etching and scratches are corrected through honing and polishing — not cleaning. This is a restoration service, and it’s one of our specialties.
• Why do travertine holes keep reopening?  Travertine has natural voids. When they open due to traffic or moisture, they need professional filling and finishing. DIY fillers never hold up.
• Do you restore terrazzo that looks yellow or cloudy?  Yes. Yellowing usually comes from old coatings or wax. We strip, polish, and bring the terrazzo back to its natural clarity.

We restore and protect the surfaces that matter most to South Florida homeowners — from outdoor tile and grout haze corrections to luxury upholstery and fine fabrics.
Your floors, your home, and your investment deserve craftsmanship that lasts.
