Frequently Asked Questions About Limestone Restoration

What makes limestone different from other natural stones?

Limestone is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium carbonate, making it more porous and softer than granite or marble. This makes limestone susceptible to etching from acidic substances and weathering from outdoor exposure. However, its natural beauty and unique textures make it a popular choice for Kansas City homes and historic buildings. Limestone requires specialized care and sealing to protect against staining and deterioration.

Can you remove stains from limestone?

Yes, we can remove most stains from limestone using professional poulticing techniques and specialized cleaning solutions. Oil-based stains, rust, organic stains, and water marks can typically be removed. The key is identifying the stain type and using the appropriate removal method. Some deep-set stains may require grinding the surface. We assess each stain individually and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.

How often should limestone be sealed?

Limestone should be sealed every 1-2 years, or more frequently in high-traffic or outdoor areas. Kansas City's climate with freeze-thaw cycles makes proper sealing especially important for exterior limestone. Signs your limestone needs resealing include water absorption rather than beading, increased staining, or a dull, chalky appearance. We use penetrating sealers that protect without altering the stone's natural appearance.

How much does limestone restoration cost in Kansas City?

Limestone restoration typically costs $4-10 per square foot depending on the condition, location (interior vs. exterior), and services needed. Factors affecting cost include extent of damage, stain removal requirements, surface grinding, and sealing. Historic limestone restoration may require specialized techniques. We provide free, detailed estimates. Call (816) 918-0135 for a quote specific to your project.

Can you restore exterior limestone that's been damaged by weather?

Absolutely. We specialize in restoring weathered exterior limestone including facades, columns, and architectural details. Kansas City's weather can cause limestone to deteriorate, flake, or develop a rough texture. We can clean, repair, and reseal limestone to restore its appearance and protect it from future damage. For historic buildings, we follow preservation guidelines to maintain architectural integrity.

What's the difference between honed and polished limestone?

Most limestone is finished with a honed (matte) surface rather than polished, as many limestone varieties don't take a high polish due to their composition. Honed limestone has a smooth, velvety finish that's practical for floors and outdoor applications. Some denser limestones can achieve a semi-polished finish. We'll recommend the best finish for your specific limestone type and location.

How long does limestone restoration take?

Most residential limestone restoration projects take 1-3 days. A bathroom or small entryway might take 1 day, while larger areas or extensive stain removal could take 2-3 days. Exterior limestone restoration depends on square footage and weather conditions. We provide a detailed timeline with your estimate and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home or business.
