Marble is known for its premium quality, toughness and aesthetic, making it a very popular choice for bathroom countertops, such as this one at a house in Northampton. However just because it’s tough doesn’t mean that Marble can be cleaned with the usual household cleaners. Like all natural stone, Marble is acid sensitive and unsuitable products can have a very damaging effect on its appearance.
In this situation, the property owner had used a limescale remover to remove some unsightly marks from the countertop. Unfortunately, the product was acid-based and instead of making an improvement it just made it worse and caused severe etching.
The first photo above shows the limescale marks from where toiletries have been placed on the side whilst wet. Since Northampton is a hard water area, the limescale deposits over time caused these marks to appear.
The only way to effectively remove the Limestone deposits – while at the same time rectifying the damaged caused by the botched cleaning attempt – was to use a system of hand-held diamond encrusted pads and hand help blocks of various grits to cut back the stone and re-polish it, a process we call burnishing.
Before officially beginning the burnishing process, I ran a few tests to determine the type of pad I would need to use to achieve the best results. I found that, in most areas, I would need to use the Tile Doctor 400 Grit (Coarse) pad to resurface the tile and remove the damaged layer of stone, but in some areas where the etching was worse, I would need to use the 200 Grit (Very Coarse) pad.
After burnishing the affected areas with the Coarse and Very Coarse grit pads, I started to incrementally polish the stone to achieve a high-quality shine, working my up through the Medium, Fine and Very grit pads.
No chemicals were used during this process – only water for lubrication, combined with the six-inch diamond encrusted burnishing pads fitted to a hand-held buffing machine.
The final part of the restoration was to seal the stone to maintain a long-lasting, deep polished appearance. To do this, I used Tile Doctor Shine Powder, which is a crystallising sealer in powder form. The powder is applied directly and combined with water, before being worked into the stone to seal it.
The customer was very happy with the results and the level of shine achieved. I gave the customer a complimentary bottle of Tile Doctor Stone Soap, which is our aftercare cleaner for polished natural stone, along with instructions on periodic maintenance to help maintain the finish we had achieved for as long as possible.

Shingles Roof Repairs in Charlotte
Eternity Matters, a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, contacted Triumph Roofing with concerns about their roof. Years of wear and tear had caused multiple shingles to crack, curl, and detach, leading to water seepage in certain areas. They needed a reliable roofing solution to protect their building and ensure it remained a safe space for their community activities.
After a thorough inspection, we determined that a comprehensive Shingles Roof Repairs project would address the damage. The estimated cost of $6,500 fit their budget, providing a cost-effective yet high-quality solution. Our team quickly developed a plan to repair the damaged areas and restore the integrity of the roof.
The Repair Process
On the scheduled repair day, our team arrived early to begin the work. First, we carefully removed the damaged shingles, ensuring no debris was left behind. Next, we replaced the underlayment to provide added protection and prevent future leaks. Finally, we installed new, high-quality shingles to match the existing roof, restoring its uniform appearance.
Throughout the process, we kept Eternity Matters informed of each step, answering their questions and ensuring they felt confident in the project’s progress. By the end of the day, their roof was fully repaired, durable, and ready to withstand future weather challenges.

Paul Despenas: The home was built in the late 1970’s and the windows had seen better days. At some point wood just stops holding paint and the exterior sills and casings start to deteriorate. Those are the easy fix. It’s when the window sashes start to deteriorate, it is past the time to start looking for new windows.
When you can see wood rot on the sills, casings and sashes it is allowing water and air to infiltrate into the rough opening of the home causing structural damage and mold. This also allows plenty of the energy to go right out the windows!!
EcoSmart Windows are custom built to fit into the existing opening like a glove.

For the kitchen, custom two-tone green cabinetry was carefully selected to ensure the perfect match. A hammered copper sink brings brightness to the counter, and the unexpected copper metal finishes complete this kitchen’s aesthetic. Copper also has unique anti-microbial properties, which make it an excellent choice for a kitchen sink. Lastly, the soft grey quartz balances the design in tandem with the backsplash tile that has a muted marble tone and a 3-dimensional diamond profile.
The island front is clad with white kaleidoscope mosaics for visual and aesthetic interest, as well as serving a functional purpose. The clients own a dog, which scratched at the wooden millwork causing damage. For that purpose, we chose tiles to ensure the longevity of the new kitchen. At the very end of the island, a “dog cave” was carved out to keep his food and water.

For this kitchen remodeling project, our homeowner had a water leak behind their sink and dishwasher that caused extensive damage. We needed to tear out all the cabinets and take everything down to the studs. Once the walls were repaired, we started the remodel by installing a new Pocono Gray 6x36 floor. Next up are the new cabinets from our Kitchen Solvers Legacy Collection line. To finish this kitchen transformation, we added a new white quartz countertop and a Tetramoda stone glossy 3x12 glazed ceramic backsplash. Check out this stunning new kitchen!

Keeping your area rugs cleaned is important for several reasons. Dirt, dust and pet dander can accumulate into the fibers of your carpet over time and cause premature aging and damage to the foundation of any rug. The life span of your rug will improve greatly by professionally having dirt, stains and odors removed. This is exactly what our team performed for our client with this Persian Heriz rug.

The Owners of this boathouse on Lake Rosseau approached us to modify the existing structure.
Classic Muskoka Homes prepared a Fixed-Price proposal for the construction of a new sloped roof structure for the existing boathouse which had an existing flat roof.
Work got underway with demolition & framing work on the roof structure. Upon investigation, it was determined that water ingress had caused damage to a wall and dock stringer timber along the boathouse's South wall. Port Sandfield Dockworks Incorporated performed repair work on the dock. We subsequently repaired the rotted wall framing in boathouse South wall.
New shingle roofing, board & batten siding, aluminum soffit & fascia were installed to integrate a fresh look for the boathouse.
This boathouse building project was completed within approximately one (1) month in 2013.

As many as 50% of homeowners choose to replace their roof because of cosmetic repairs alone. A roof cleaning costs a fraction of the cost at 3–5% of an actual strip and re-shingle job. Roof cleaning is much more affordable than most people think. At O’LYN Roofing roofing we provide our customers with the option of roof cleaning as an alternative and to protect roofs from deterioration caused by organic elements. Our roof cleaning services are performed by trained technicians using professional grade equipment and cleaners that are specifically designed for cleaning roofs. We use a low pressure wash that is environmentally safe to ensure that your shingles are not damaged during the cleaning process.
