Granite Seam Repair

On many occasions, I have come across these similar problems with homeowners, contractors, and distributors. It is usally a simple problem that could be corrected. But without the knowledge and technique, it usually ends up a bigger problem than started.

In the pictures listed, a bad installation resulted with uneven seams. The contractor had three (3) different people work on it. One used the wrong diamond pads and worked dry which cause a lot of dust. Another tried sandpaper which created an uneven surface on both sides. And the last tried using wax, similar to shoe polish which only rubs off.

Advanced Stone Restoration, me, came in and fixed the problem. Using the correct diamond pads wet, to control dust and flatten the area. Areas where polished out, seams were flattened and color matched, and impregnating sealer was applied.

When all hope was lost, just know that how badly your granite tops might get, they are always repairable.
