30+ years on Florida's Gulf Coast

Marble, travertine and porcelain care for Naples homes where the finish has to be flawless.
Naples is a stone market. Old Naples, Port Royal, Pelican Bay and the gated communities off Immokalee Road are full of marble, travertine and shell stone, and most of the damage we're called for is etching — dull spots from acidic cleaners, wine, or a pool-deck acid wash gone wrong.
Where we work in Naples
Naples, Marco Island and Bonita Springs are scheduled together on the same southbound run.
Naples ZIP codes we service: 34102, 34103, 34104, 34105, 34108, 34109, 34110, 34112, 34113, 34119, 34120
Stone is not tile. Acid and aggressive scrubbing make marble worse, not better. We hone and polish stone mechanically and use pH-neutral chemistry, then impregnate with a penetrating sealer so spills sit on the surface.
Step 1 — coverage
Local conditions
Different market, different problem. Here's what we run into in Collier County specifically.
Dull rings and cloudy patches on marble are microscopic surface damage from acid, not dirt. No cleaner fixes it. It's corrected by honing the surface back flat and re-polishing — which is why stone work is quoted at $3.50–$6.50 per square foot rather than the tile rate.
Travertine around a Naples pool takes chlorine splash-out, sunscreen and hard rain. Holes open up as the fill pops out and the surface goes chalky. We clean at low pressure, fill where needed and seal — never a high-pressure blast, which strips fill and roughs the stone permanently.
A lot of Collier work is done while residents are away for the season. We coordinate with property managers, house watch services and community gates, send photos of the finished work, and lock up behind us.

FAQ
Almost always. Etching is shallow surface damage. Honing removes a very thin layer to bring the surface back flat, then it's polished to the finish you want — matte, satin or high gloss. Only deep chips or cracks require stone repair or replacement.
No. High pressure blows out the natural fill and leaves the surface rough and porous, which then holds dirt worse than before. Travertine gets low pressure, the right cleaner, fill repair where needed, and a penetrating sealer.
Regularly. We coordinate gate access, key or lockbox handoff, and send before-and-after photos when the job is complete so you can approve from out of state.
Both are soft and porous. They're cleaned with low pressure and neutral chemistry, then sealed — never acid-washed, which eats the surface.
