Travertine Resurfacing · Metairie, LA

Hard water etching and mineral deposits are extremely common in this area and are exactly what resurfacing addresses. Grinding removes the etched layer entirely, and the new sealed surface is far more resistant to future buildup. We see this constantly in Metairie bathrooms.

Polishing is one step within the resurfacing process — it's the final finishing stage that brings up the sheen. Full resurfacing starts with grinding and leveling, includes void filling, and then finishes with honing or polishing depending on the look you want. If your stone is just dull but otherwise in good shape, polishing alone may be sufficient — we'll tell you which applies after the inspection.

Pricing depends on square footage, the condition of the stone, and the finish requested. We provide firm quotes after the on-site assessment — we don't quote over the phone without seeing the stone. What we can say is that resurfacing consistently costs less than replacement, often significantly so.

We work in occupied homes regularly. The process involves some noise and dust, which we contain as much as possible. You'll want to keep pets and children out of the work area, and we'll coordinate with you on the best approach for your layout and schedule.

With proper maintenance — regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner and periodic resealing — resurfaced travertine holds up well for many years. In Metairie's humidity, we typically recommend checking the sealer every two to three years. We'll advise you specifically based on the location and traffic of your stone.
