Professional Stone Restoration Services
Founded in 1985 by Tony and Katy Tomas, our company has built a legacy of excellence in marble and natural stone care. Tony's dedication to craftsmanship, inherited from his parents in Portugal, and Katy's strong work ethic from Ireland laid the foundation for our family-owned business. In 2020, Chris McGowan, the couple's nephew, assumed leadership while maintaining the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that defined the original founders. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team specializes in restoring the natural beauty of marble, travertine, limestone, and other stone surfaces through meticulous cleaning, polishing, and sealing techniques. We serve residential and commercial clients across the Coachella Valley, offering personalized solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications.Our process eliminates scratches, etching, and stains while preserving the integrity of materials like terrazzo, granite, and Mexican pavers. We distinguish ourselves through hands-on attention to detail, including manual edge polishing that automated systems cannot achieve. Client education remains central to our approach, ensuring long-term maintenance of restored surfaces. Operating from our Palm Desert headquarters, we maintain strict punctuality standards and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our reputation for reliability and technical expertise has been reinforced through decades of referrals from satisfied customers.

Services
Marble Restoration
Our marble restoration process eliminates scratches and etching while restoring natural luster. Using professional-grade equipment, we perform deep cleaning, honing, and polishing to revive both floors and countertops. The service includes protective sealing to prevent future damage from moisture and acidic substances.
Travertine Polishing
Specialized polishing techniques restore travertine's natural shine without damaging its porous structure. We address wear patterns and water marks through multi-step refinishing, followed by color-enhancing sealants that protect against staining while maintaining the stone's slip-resistant properties.
Saltillo Tile Restoration
This service addresses Saltillo tile's unique maintenance needs through deep cleaning, crack repair, and protective sealing. Our process removes built-up grime while preserving the tile's traditional appearance, with sealing solutions that prevent water absorption and staining.
Tile & Grout Services
We clean and protect ceramic and porcelain tile surfaces while addressing grout issues. Services include deep cleaning, grout recoloring, crack repair, and protective sealing to maintain both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity for bathroom and kitchen installations.
Outdoor Stone Care
Designed for patios and walkways, this service removes weathering damage from stone surfaces. We employ pressure-controlled cleaning and sealing techniques to restore Mexican pavers, flagstone, and slate while protecting against environmental elements and foot traffic wear.
