Now that you’ve spent the money and finished the installation of your beautiful new tile countertops, you need to be sure to take care of them so that you keep your investment in tip-top condition.

Whether you’ve installed impala black granite countertops, or used the finest travertine granite slabs on the market, you need to keep the surfaces clean and polished.

Granite surfaces are easy to maintain, but you want to avoid using everyday household cleaners.  Although they probably won’t destroy your countertops, they could dull the sealer that is applied to keep your granite protected from scratching and fading.

There are plenty of specially formulated stone cleaners on the market that can be used to clean your countertops and restore their original luster, including commercial polish preservers.

Over time, some stains will appear on your countertops but in most cases these will fade out over time on their own.  But, there are also specialty stain-lifting materials, including poultice powders,  that can easily take out stains and, in some cases, remove signs of scratching.

These Florida hurricane-certified wrought iron doors are hand finished. After welding, the doors are sand blasted and acid washed to remove all impurities. This is followed by a 6 step finishing process that includes zinc galvanization, epoxy primer, black primer, black paint, faux finish and then sealed with a matt clear coat. You can even get a comprehensive touch-up paint kit free of charge. With the 5 year warranty on finishes and a 10 year parts warranty, longest in the industry, you have no worries. These warranties are also transferable so if you sell your property the new owner will benefit.
