Flagstone Cleaning & Sealing in Irvine, California

April 20, 2015 by

[ meteorslides id=”flagstone-slate-irvine”]

This Irvine home has a combination of Slate and Flagstone that make up a patio, the front driveway and hardscape in the back yard.

Before
This home has more than 2,000 square feet of random slate and flagstone in front and back. As you can see, it has become colorless, while constant sprinkler run off leaves alkaline deposits.

After
Following our process of stripping, detail cleaning and pH neutral rinsing we applied a premium enhancer sealer throughout. Please note the stone now has great color, but with a matte (non-glossy) finish. This sealer has great durability in exterior applications.

The second set of before and after shows the work done on cleaning and sealing the flagstone and slate walkway and steps.

If you have a flagstone and slate that is in need of cleaning and sealing and you live in Irvine or anywhere in Orange County please call us at for immediate assistance.

Floor & Granite Countertop Restoration, Cleaning in Orange, Orange County

January 24, 2014 by

Here are before and after pictures that show the results of a Slate & Granite Restoration job we did on a Floor & Granite Counter in Orange, Orange County, California.

This slate floor had been constantly maintained with aggressive cleaning products, unfortunately the result was a dull, dirty floor without any color or lustre.

On the “after” photos, this is the same view of the slate floor following the restoration process. The use of non-recommended cleaners will break down to the floors, and cause deterioration much sooner than normal. All of our customers are instructed in proper maintenance, so as to protect their investment.

In the kitchen we also cleaned, polished and sealed the granite countertops.

Slate Patio Restoration, Cleaning in Laguna Hills, Orange County

December 20, 2013 by

Here are before and after pictures that show the results of a Slate Restoration, Cleaning  job we did on a Slate Patio in Laguna Hills, Orange County, California.

This backyard patio was installed with slate tiles surrounded by random flagstone pieces. After many pool parties, the overall appearance is dirty and colorless.

The after photo shows a restored patio with vibrant colors! Please note, the enhancer sealer we used has left a “matte” or non-shiny appearance. Many contractors and customers prefer high gloss sealers unfortunately, many of these “wet look” sealers do not last long in exterior applications.

Slate Patio Restoration, Cleaning in Belmont Shore, Long Beach, LA County

April 26, 2013 by

Here are before and after pictures that show the results of a Slate Restoration, Cleaning  job we did on a Slate Patio in Belmont Shore, Long Beach, LA County, California.

This all slate patio was originally very weatherbeaten and showed much damage because of the adjacent chlorine pool. This created another problem called “shaling” where layers of the slate will break off.

Following the stripping and cleaning process we used an enhancer sealer which greatly helps in the prevention of the shaling process. This customer was quite surprised to see the beauty and color of the natural stone which had been absent for many years.

We also stripped and cleaned the surrounding brick trim and stairs.

Slate Patio Restoration, Cleaning in Fullerton, Orange County

April 24, 2013 by

Here are before and after pictures that show the results of a Slate Restoration, Cleaning job we did on a Slate Patio in Fullerton, Orange County, California.

This slate patio had been neglected for the 28 years since it had been installed. This customer was planning on removing this slate patio because of its poor condition. The home was going to be put on the market soon and they feared that this slate patio would make a poor first impression. For a fraction of the cost of the removal alone much less a brand new patio we were able to show significant improvement and help make this house market ready.

The enhancer sealer that we used helped to bring out the natural color and prevent any more shaling of the slate. Shaling occurs when layers of the slate break off.
