Don’t Blow Your Top Over This Volcanic Rock

Cantera is a uniquely beautiful quarried volcanic rock used for fountains, door frames, range hoods, balustrades, fireplaces, pool copings and surrounds, tiles, columns and more. Susceptible to scratching, scuffing and dulling, particularly in areas of high use, cantera is, nevertheless, a durable as well as beautiful stone that can be restored, rather than needing to be replaced. We can resolve virtually any problem associated with cantera, including:

Grinding & Lippage Removal
Honing & Polishing
Deep Cleaning & Sanitizing
Sealing

Because cantera is exceptionally porous and easily absorbs spills, staining agents and other contaminants, we highly recommend having it sealed after we provide deep cleaning or restorative services. While most stains can eventually be removed, it is best to avoid stains from the get-go.

This soft yet durable material is a strong and malleable natural stone. It is formed by volcanic dust and ash that has been washed into silt beds. Rustico’s Cantera stone has been combined with lava and local Mexican stone, and compressed for millions of years.

How is Cantera different from Limestone and Travertine?
Cantera is formed by volcanic ash and dust. It has a Mexican origin and has more color variations and textures. Travertine and Limestone are sedimentary stones. Limestone is more consistent in color and Travertine is traditionally more expensive.

SCHEDULED ONYX MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning and janitorial services are valuable for simple, day-to-day care of onyx surfaces. But over time, their processes leave your surfaces with grout lines that just won’t come clean, shiny scratches, and increasingly obvious wear patterns. As these problems develop, you become more and more dissatisfied with the appearance of your onyx surfaces until it’s time for another round of professional restoration.

  Jorge and his team were amazing - professional, polite, respectful, extremely careful with all the fragile items in the house, and experts in their field. I have very high standards and they exceeded them all. I had bleach stains on my marble, cracks in my granite, water spots on my travertine tables, and the grout in my tile was discolored. Everything now looks brand new! I 100% recommend them. They are the best of the best!

  AZ Stone Restoration is an exceptional professional company. I have been impressed by their excellent customer service from the time I reached out to them. We had all of our Quartzite counters cleaned and polished. They are beautiful. I had no idea how dull they had become. Jorge is a true artisan when it comes to caring for your stone. His attention to detail, going above and beyond and his warm and delightful attitude is a rarity in today’s world. You will be very pleased and happy that you reached out to this exceptional company. Thank you Evelyn and Jorge.

  Excellence is the word used to describe this company. We have used their services twice. They installed our travertine and polished all floors. They also cleaned our bathroom stone floors and walls in our walk in shower. They are very detail oriented getting everything cleaned, the grout, the calcium build up, oils, soap scum, etc. Lovely group of installers! We highly recommend AZ Stone Restoration!

  We were very pleased with the work AZ Stone Restoration did for us. They were prompt, professional and did a great job. We had our stone floors refinished and they now look better than new. AZ Stone went the extra mile to fill any holes in our travertine, repaired missing grout, and polished our stone to the exact finish we requested. They were extremely polite and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend AZ Stone Restoration for your tiling needs.

  I’ve been looking for somebody to repair my front walkway and entry area flagstone for years. I am so glad I found AZ Stone Restoration. They repaired the cracked, missing flagstone and grout and made the coolest cover for my sewer drain as well! It looks brand new and we couldn’t be happier! The whole team was courteous, professional and did A+ quality work. I highly recommend AZ Stone Restoration.

  I had a very expensive travertine table that cracked.  Jorge and his crew repaired the table and made it look better than new.  They are very professional and I would hire them again for anything they do.

  I recently had Jorge to my home for an estimate. He was extremely kind, charismatic, professional and respectful. My husband and I are in the process of deciding what to do with our old flooring. I had a lot of questions and Jorge  was very honest and knowledgeable, suggesting various options for our old tile and marble countertops. These guys are very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.
