Travertine is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its timeless beauty, durability, and natural slip-resistant texture. It remains cool underfoot, making it ideal for outdoor areas like pool decks and patios. Additionally, travertine is available in a variety of finishes, such as honed, tumbled, brushed, or polished, allowing for customized aesthetics.
Despite its advantages, travertine requires regular maintenance due to its porous nature. It absorbs liquids and stains easily, making sealing essential to protect against moisture, dirt, and discoloration. Being a softer stone, travertine is also prone to scratches, etching from acidic substances, and pitting—small holes that can accumulate dirt and expand over time. Additionally, exposure to the elements can cause fading, erosion, and algae growth on outdoor travertine surfaces.

Our deep-cleaning process removes embedded dirt, grime, and stains without damaging the stone. We use safe, non-acidic cleaning solutions to preserve travertine’s natural integrity, ensuring a thorough yet gentle clean for both indoor and outdoor surfaces.
Because travertine is highly porous, sealing is crucial to prevent staining and moisture damage. We apply high-quality penetrating sealers that create an invisible protective barrier, making the stone resistant to spills, dirt, and daily wear, while maintaining its natural breathability.
For worn or damaged travertine, we provide full restoration services, including honing to remove surface imperfections, polishing to restore a glossy finish, and filling pits and cracks to create a smooth, flawless surface. Our team can also repair chips, scratches, and dull spots, ensuring your travertine looks as good as new.
Paver sealing is the process of applying a protective coating to the surface of pavers to prevent stains, fading, and damage from weather, foot traffic, and other factors. It is important because it can help prolong the life of the pavers, prevent weed growth, and enhance their appearance. TSTONE uses the best sealant available in the market.
Paver restoring involves cleaning, repairing, and restoring pavers to their original condition. This can include removing dirt, stains, and algae, repairing cracks or chips, and re-leveling pavers that have shifted over time.
Paver polishing is the process of smoothing and polishing the surface of pavers to restore their shine and luster. It is necessary when pavers become dull or worn over time, and can help enhance their appearance.
Paver repairing involves fixing damaged or cracked pavers instead of replacing them entirely. This can be done using paver repair kits that fill in cracks or chips, restoring the pavers to their original condition.
Maintaining pavers involves regular cleaning, sealing, and filling in gaps between pavers with sand or polymeric sand. This helps prevent dirt and debris from accumulating, and keeps the pavers looking their best.
For more extensive restoration and repair work, it is recommended to hire a professional paver restoration company. TSTONE team have the expertise and specialized equipment needed to properly restore and repair pavers, ensuring they look and function their best for years to come.
