Stone honing in Scottsdale is the repair for etch marks and fine scratches. Stone honing removes minor scratches, etching, and uneven surfaces caused by wear and tear. Unlike polishing, honing results in a soft, satin-like finish that’s perfect for high-traffic areas and clients who prefer a more natural look.
Honing is the step most people have never heard of and the one their floor usually needs. Honing removes the damaged layer; polishing refines what is left. These are the situations that call for honing first.
Stone honing is diamond abrasive work at controlled grit levels. Your free in-home estimate tells you how far your stone needs to go.

What’s the difference between honing and polishing?
Is honing safe for all types of natural stone?
How do I know if my stone needs honing?
Can honing remove etch marks from marble and limestone?
Yes. An etch is the surface itself dissolved by acid, so no cleaner lifts it. Honing removes the etched layer with diamond abrasives, and you can leave the stone honed or continue to a polish.
Do I have to polish after honing, or can I leave it honed?
You can leave it honed. Many owners choose the soft, satin finish on purpose for high-traffic floors and a more natural look. Sealing follows either way.
Can onyx or other translucent stone be honed?
Yes, with fine diamond honing that removes etching and scratches while keeping the surface flat and the translucency intact. It is slow, careful work with gentle products, and it is how onyx gets back to a glass-like finish before polishing.
Can uneven or flaking slate be honed?
Often. We hone and resurface slate to reduce unevenness and smooth flaking edges where the layers have lifted. Severe delamination may need the damaged tiles replaced, and we tell you plainly during the estimate if that is the case.
