Stone Types
Limestone is a widely used architectural stone. Many of the world’s most recognized and loved landmarks, including the Great Pyramids, are constructed from this versatile, attractive stone. Limestone occurs in nature in varying degrees of hardness – some varieties are extremely soft – and like marble, limestone is very susceptible to acids, which can scratch and damage it.
Caring for limestone effectively requires specialized knowledge because many types of limestone are extremely soft. Some varieties of limestone, particularly the softer varieties, need to be professionally cleaned and sealed from time to time. Omega Properties Care’s professionally trained technicians can refurbish any scratched, etched, cracked, or damaged limestone and restore it to its original condition. Our 25 years of experience have enabled us to develop special processes to hone and/or polish and seal limestone to maximize its beauty and durability. Once we have completed a limestone restoration, our technicians will educate you with simple stone and tile care tips so you can keep your limestone looking like it was just installed.
Our limestone care and restoration methods employ state-of-the-art technologies and equipment to protect and preserve your limestone floors, counters, vanities, showers, stairs, fireplaces, and more; if it’s made of limestone, we’ll make it like new again!

As a guide, an average restoration of a 150 sq ft marble floor takes one technician about a day. Work usually begins two to three weeks after an estimate is approved.
