Client: Atlanta, GA
Service: Marble Countertop Restoration & MORE® AntiEtch® Protection
The Challenge
When Sonja Austell completed her kitchen renovation, her honed Carrara marble countertops quickly became a source of frustration. Despite being sealed multiple times, the marble was:
-
Etching badly from contact with everyday acids (like lemon juice and vinegar).
-
Staining constantly from spills, oils, and normal kitchen use.
Like many Atlanta homeowners, Sonja loved the look of marble but struggled with the upkeep. The countertops looked worn and blotchy only weeks after installation—making her dream kitchen feel less than perfect.
The Solution
“The stone supplier recommended Kevin at N-Motion Stone & Tile of Atlanta, known for expert restoration and advanced protective treatments.”
N-Motion’s approach included:
-
Restoration & Surface Prep – He sanded and refinished the Carrara marble, removing existing etches and stains.
-
Dust-Free Process – The kitchen was fully sealed off to protect the home. When the work was complete, there wasn’t a speck of dust left behind.
-
MORE® AntiEtch® Protection – Kevin applied MORE® AntiEtch®, a revolutionary treatment that stops etching and staining on marble while preserving its natural honed look and silky feel.
The Results
The transformation was immediate:
-
Smooth, flawless finish – The countertops looked and felt brand new.
-
No more etching – Everyday use no longer damaged the marble.
-
Long-term protection – Stains and etches are permanently prevented.
-
Peace of mind – Sonja could finally enjoy her renovated kitchen without constant worry.
Sonja was so impressed with the results that she plans to have N-Motion return to clean and seal her interior brick floors.
Client Testimonial
“We have honed Carrara marble countertops in our newly renovated kitchen. We sealed them multiple times, but they were still etching really badly and staining constantly. The stone company recommended Kevin. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. He sanded and sealed the countertops for us, and they look and feel amazing. They are also not etching anymore. Kevin sealed off the kitchen to minimize dust, and there wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere when they left. We’re also planning to use him to clean and seal an interior brick floor. Kevin is professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. We highly recommend him.”
