| BEFORE PICTURE of some improperly maintained & sealed flagstone pavers for an entry in San Diego . Lots of inexperienced stone companies insist on applying topical sealers for flagstone pavers & other hardscapes. The topical glossy sealers almost always peel away from the stone and turn a milky white haze which hides the beautiful natural colors of the flagstone. So the process we use to for restoring the flagstone is stripping away and removing the existing topical sealer, then deep clean & pressure washing the flagstone, and properly sealing the flagstone with 3 coats of sealer. 5-6 pieces of the flagstone were in such bad shape that we had to remove & reinstall the pieces. Luckily flagstone usually has a wide variety of colors it is easier to match the new stone to the existing flagstone than most stone installations. |

FOR THE INSTALLATION PROCESS WE MAKE
SURE TO MIX IN AND EVENLY DISTRIBUTE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COLORS &
SHADES OF THE NATURAL STONES FOR A CLEAN & NATURAL FLOWING
APPEARANCE. AS WELL AS MAKING SURE THERE IS THE CORRECT PITCH TO THE
APPROPRIATE DRAINS WHICH IS CRITICAL FOR OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS. STANDING
PUDDLES OF WATER & WATER UNDER POTS CAUSE SOME OF THE WORST DAMAGE
TO THE STONE. AND WE MAKE SURE TO SEAL THE STONE & THE MORTAR
JOINTS 3 TIMES FOR MAXIMUM PROTECTION AGAINST WATER DAMAGE & STAINS.
AND WE CAN USE A SEALER WHICH ENCHANCES THE COLORS OF THE STONE FOR A
WET LOOK WITHOUT THE GLOSS. FOR OUTDOOR APPLICATIONS THE TOPICAL GLOSSY
SEALERS ARE MORE COSTLY TO MAINTAIN BECAUSE THE WATER & SUN TURN THE
ACTUAL SEALER A MILKY WHITE OVER TIME AND THE SEALER WILL BEGIN TO PEEL
AWAY FROM THE STONE. QUALITY FLAGSTONE PAVERS, QUARTZITE & SLATE
TILES ARE HARD ENOUGH & DENSE ENOUGH TO WHERE THE ONLY PROTECTION
THEY NEED IS FROM STAINING. THE LOWER QUALITY FLAGSTONE & SLATE TILE
SOMETIMES DO BEGIN TO SHALE & CHIP OFF SO SOMETIMES THE TOPICAL
SEALER OFFERS MORE PROTECTION FROM KEEPING THE TILES FROM SLOWLY
DISINTEGRATING.
FOR THE RESTORATION PROCESS ALOT OF THE WORK IS DONE
BY HAND TO MAKE SURE THAT THE STONE AND GROUT JOINTS ARE AS CLEAN AS
POSSIBLE. AS WELL AS ENABLING US TO KEEP THE REST OF YOUR HOME AND
PROPERTY AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. SOME PROJECTS NEED TO BE DEEP CLEANED
& SEALED. OTHER TIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE ANY TOPICAL SEALERS
WHICH MUTE THE TRUE NATURAL COLORS OF THE STONE.
We remove and
strip off any topical and glossy sealers that generally do not fair
well for outdoor installations. We have a number of different sealers
for glossy, matte, and enhanced finishes to give you the perfect look.
As well as being able to handle any flagstone repair, additions, and
matching existing flagstone to new flagstone installs. Another great website is www.sandiegoflagstoneexpert.com with the Highest Quality information & content about flagstone paver installation & restoration.
