How to Restore Travertine Floors in Northern Virginia Without Costly Replacement?
Travertine is a beautiful, naturally porous stone formed near mineral springs — its unique character comes from the small holes and voids that develop as it forms. Over time, those open holes collect dirt, floors scratch and dull, and surfaces lose the rich warmth that made them so appealing. NOVA Stone Care approaches travertine restoration with expertise tailored to this stone's unique structure. We fill voids with color-matched grout or epoxy, hone away surface damage, and refinish to your preferred look — whether that's a soft matte or a polished sheen. Every project ends with a professional-grade penetrating sealer to protect your travertine for years to come.

Why Trust NOVA Stone Care with Your Travertine?
We had our marble countertop restored by NOVA Stone Care to remove some etching that has accumulated over the last couple of years and Shota did a great job. He was very communicative, knowledgeable, and reasonable, as the price was about 20% less than another quote I received. He also provided some cleaning product recommendations to help keep it looking its best. Will definitely have him out again when it needs to be restored again in a couple of years!

Shota did a great job on our marble counter tops. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything stone! We had a crack and chip in our marble counter tops that he repaired. He took his time making sure everything was perfect before he left. We will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!
Jennifer O’Brien Kie
NOVA stone care repaired two nicks in our quartzite countertop. Repairs look amazing and are unnoticeable. The technician, Shota, replied promptly to my initial inquiry, was extremely pleasant to interact with, and clean in his work. Nothing but great things to say about this company. Will definitely use again.

Frequently Asked Questions
The holes and voids in travertine are a natural part of its formation — they occur as trapped gases escape during the stone's creation near mineral springs. These pores collect dirt over time and can create an uneven surface. Yes, they can absolutely be filled using color-matched grout or epoxy, resulting in a smoother, cleaner, and more uniform floor.
Both options have merit depending on your travertine's use and finish. Grout is more common for floor applications and easier to match in color. Epoxy is harder, more durable, and preferred for areas with heavier use or moisture exposure. Our technicians will assess your specific situation and recommend the best approach during the free assessment.
Travertine can absolutely be polished to a high-gloss mirror finish — in fact, many Italian palazzos feature polished travertine floors. The final finish is entirely your choice. We can achieve anything from a soft honed matte to a brilliant polished shine, or even preserve an authentic tumbled texture, depending on your preference and the stone's current condition.
For most residential applications, professional restoration is recommended every 5–10 years for floors, depending on foot traffic and maintenance practices. Properly sealed and regularly cleaned travertine can go longer between restorations. Annual professional maintenance cleanings and re-sealing every 2–3 years will significantly extend the time between full restorations.
Yes. NOVA Stone Care uses professional stone-safe poultice treatments and specialized chemical compounds to remove rust stains, organic stains, oil stains, and other discoloration from travertine surfaces. Deep stains may require multiple treatments. We'll assess the staining during your free evaluation and be transparent about what results are achievable.
Yes — we restore both interior and exterior travertine surfaces, including patios, pool surrounds, walkways, and outdoor living areas throughout Northern Virginia and Maryland. Outdoor travertine faces additional challenges including weathering and algae growth, which our technicians are fully equipped to address.
After restoration, use a pH-neutral stone cleaner for daily mopping — never acidic cleaners like vinegar. Wipe spills promptly. Use mats at entryways to reduce grit. Re-seal every 2–3 years depending on traffic. We provide a complete care guide after every restoration project so you can protect your investment confidently.
