Marble Polishing
Honed, semi-polished, or high-gloss finishes for floors, counters, stairs, and vanities.
Natural stone floor polishing and restoration in Brossard, the South Shore, Montreal and Laval. Marble, travertine, terrazzo, limestone and slate.
Natural stone floors can lose their finish from traffic, sand, salt, cleaning products, water and years of regular use. A floor that once looked clean and refined can start to show dull walking paths, scratches, cloudy areas, stains or uneven shine. In many cases, the stone does not need to be replaced. It needs the right restoration and polishing plan.
I am Gen Schiavone of Techni-Marbre. I polish and restore stone floors across Brossard, the South Shore, Montreal and Laval for homes, condos, lobbies, offices, boutiques and commercial spaces. I work with marble, travertine, terrazzo, limestone, slate and other natural stone surfaces.
Stone floor polishing is not one process for every material. Marble can usually be polished to a higher shine. Travertine often needs cleaning, fill inspection and honing before polish. Terrazzo responds well to mechanical restoration. Limestone usually looks best with a controlled honed or satin finish. Slate may need deep cleaning, coating removal and sealing more than high-gloss polishing.
Gen can inspect the material and wear pattern before recommending honing, polishing, repair or sealing matched to the floor.

Honing, polishing, repair, and sealing for dull or scratched natural stone floors.
Before I recommend a finish, I inspect the floor condition and the way the area is used. I look for:
This check matters because polishing alone cannot solve every issue. Some floors need honing first. Some need repairs or stain work. Some commercial floors need phasing so the space can stay usable.
I work on residential and commercial stone floors, including:
For each floor, I match the finish to the material and use. A high-gloss finish can look beautiful in the right marble space, but a satin finish may be more practical for some busy or moisture-prone areas.
A typical floor polishing project may include:
The goal is not only shine. The goal is a floor that looks more even, feels cleaner and matches the practical use of the property.
In homes and condos, stone floor polishing often improves entrances, kitchens, bathrooms, stairs and open living areas. These projects can usually be planned around household access and drying time.
In commercial buildings, I can plan work around traffic, tenants, residents or customer flow. Condo lobbies, retail spaces, offices and building corridors may need staged work, clear access planning and off-hour scheduling. The same restoration principles apply, but the logistics are different.

If your stone floor looks dull, scratched, cloudy or hard to clean, I can inspect the surface and recommend the right finish.

No. Marble and terrazzo can often reach a higher shine, but limestone, slate and some travertine floors may look better and perform better with a honed or satin finish.
Light scratches and dull traffic wear can often be improved through honing and polishing. Deep scratches, cracks or loose tiles may need repair or a more involved restoration plan.
Small residential areas may take a day. Larger floors, commercial spaces or floors with repairs, stain work or coating removal can take longer. I explain timing after inspecting the floor.
Use pH-neutral stone cleaner, remove grit with regular dust mopping, avoid vinegar, bleach and abrasive cleaners, use mats at entrances and follow the recommended sealing schedule.
