Stone Restoration in Jackson, TN
4.9 (278 reviews)2 min read
Stone restoration in Jackson deals with etch marks, scratches and dull wear, which are damage to the surface of the stone. HydroClean polishes stone as part of our cleaning, which brings back shine and can soften the look of light surface wear. A full restoration that needs honing is referred to a contractor who specializes in it.
Cleaning takes off what is sitting on the stone. Restoration changes the surface of the stone. Dull etch rings, scratches from grit and traffic paths that have gone flat are not soil, so no cleaner fixes them.
What fixes them is honing. Honing cuts the surface level again, which takes the damage off along with a very small amount of stone. The stone is then polished back up. That is a full restoration. We do not hone stone, so we refer that work to a contractor who specializes in it.
What we do is polish the stone as part of our cleaning. That brings back shine and can soften the look of light surface wear. We cannot judge a floor from a phone call or a photo. How deep the damage goes and what the stone is both matter, so we look at it in person first.
If the floor is only dirty, cleaning is all it needs, and we will tell you that. If it needs a full restoration, we will tell you that too. Call (731) 437-0006 or send an estimate request and we will set a time to come look at it.

Our Process
Look at It in Person
The technician identifies the stone, checks how deep the damage goes and tells you whether cleaning and polishing will do it or it needs a full restoration.
Refer What Needs a Specialist
If the stone needs honing, we refer you to a contractor who specializes in it.
Prepare the Estimate
For work we do, we prepare your estimate from what we saw. You approve it and we schedule a time.
Protect the Room
Nearby surfaces, cabinets and carpet are protected before the work starts.
Clean and Polish
The stone is polished as part of our cleaning. That brings back shine and can soften the look of light surface wear. The surface is not honed.
Clean Up and Seal
We clean up, and seal the stone if it calls for it.
You Look at the Floor
You get a chance to look at the work before we leave.
What's Included
- An in-person look at the stone and the damage
- An estimate prepared from what we see
- Protection for nearby surfaces
- Cleaning, with the stone polished as part of it
- Cleanup, and sealing where it fits
- A referral when the floor needs a full restoration

Realistic Results, Honestly
We would rather set an honest expectation than make a promise we cannot keep.
- We do not hone stone. Etch marks, deep scratches and worn traffic paths need a full restoration, and we refer that to a contractor who specializes in it.
- Polishing during cleaning brings back shine and can soften the look of light surface wear. A deeper scratch or a chip can improve and still show.
- Stains inside the stone are a different problem. Polishing does not take them out.
- A worn area may not match the stone around it after cleaning. We will tell you before we start if we think it will show.
Safe for Your Family and Pets
Nearby surfaces are protected before we start and the mess is cleaned up before we leave. We tell you which areas to keep clear while we work.
What Customers Say
“Very pleased with the professionalism and quality of service of this business. Very prompt, courteous. Hydroclean steamed our natural stone and I was very pleased with the result. Would recommend and would definitely use again. I plan to contact them regarding additional work.”
Robin N. · Google review · September 2023 “I contacted David about cleaning my kitchen tile and grout honestly not thinking the grout could be cleaned after 13 years of foot traffic. I am so pleased with the results! The grout looks almost as good as it did 13 years ago and the tile looks brand new. They were also very professional and reasonably priced. Could not be happier!”

Stone Restoration Questions
What is the difference between cleaning and restoration?
Cleaning removes soil sitting on the stone, and we polish the stone as part of it. Restoration works on the stone itself, by honing, to take out etch marks, deep scratches and wear. If a problem is still there after a good cleaning, it is a restoration problem.
Do you hone and polish stone floors?
We do not hone stone. The stone is polished as part of our cleaning, which brings back shine and can soften the look of light surface wear. A full restoration that needs honing is referred to a contractor who specializes in it. We look at the stone first and tell you which one it needs.
Will a worn area match the rest of my floor after cleaning?
Not always. A worn traffic path can still look different from the stone next to it after it is cleaned and polished. We will tell you before we start if we think it will show.
How much does stone polishing cost?
Polishing is part of our stone cleaning. We do not post prices, and this job cannot be priced without seeing it. It depends on the stone, its condition and the area. Call or send an estimate request and we will come look.
Can I just clean instead?
If the problem is soil, yes, and cleaning is the smaller job. If it is etching or deep scratches, cleaning will not take them out. We will look at the stone and tell you which one you have.
Wondering about cost? We do not post prices, but you can see what affects the price of stone and area rug cleaning.
