Fireplaces Restoration
A stone fireplace surround faces a combination of problems most other stone surfaces never encounter: direct radiant heat, soot and smoke residue, and ash dust settling into the finish. Over years of use, this can leave surrounds looking gray, hazy, or unevenly discolored, especially near the firebox opening.
We assess how close the discoloration is to the heat source, since staining directly around the firebox often needs a different cleaning approach than dulling further out on the mantel or hearth.
