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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I generally do not do reviews online. However the experience with AZ Stone Restoration was perfectly positive from the initial contact to the completion of the work. It involved Cantera tile patio restoration on large patios requiring tile removal/replacement and grout repair followed by all tile, concrete aggregate and pavers deep cleaned and sealed. Jorge and his team did exactly as expected in an exemplary way. With my experience regarding their work, I highly recommend Jorge and Ivan for any similar work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a slab crack along with accumulated rain water which resulted in 15 cracked travertine tiles that needed to be replaced along with 7 tiles that had minor cracks and could be repaired.

Jorge came out and gave me a bid that was reasonable.

The tile replacement crew came out and did a very good job of lifting the bad tiles without damaging the surrounding area.
Then Jorge came out and did an amazing repair job.  You can't tell which tiles were repaired.

He polished the new tiles and the crack repairs to they now match the rest of the floor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

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.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
