Granite Countertop Restoration After DIY Damage

We were recently contacted by a homeowner in Northern Virginia who needed professional granite countertop restoration. She noticed several scratches on her granite surface and, hoping for a quick fix, asked her neighbor to try removing them. Unfortunately, this DIY repair attempt caused even more damage, a common issue when granite is not treated with the proper stone restoration tools, products, and techniques.

The Risks of DIY Granite Repair

Instead of improving the countertop, the DIY attempt left:

• Heavy swirl marks

• A dull, hazy patch in the center

• Uneven texture and shine

• Additional micro-scratches across the surface

Granite is a dense and durable natural stone, and repairing it correctly requires professional diamond honing and polishing equipment, experience, and knowledge of how granite reacts to abrasives. Improper methods can easily damage or permanently alter the surface, making professional restoration the best option.

Our Professional Granite Restoration Process

When NOVA Stone Care evaluated the countertop, the damage was clear. The surface had lost its shine and no longer matched the surrounding finish. To restore the granite, we performed a comprehensive granite polishing and restoration process, including:

• Professional diamond honing to remove scratches and DIY damage

• Multi-step refinement to restore clarity and smoothness

• Precision polishing to achieve the original high-gloss finish

• Sealing the granite to protect against future stains and everyday wear
