Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Prestige for my next restoration project?
We’re a family-owned company that researches and buys high-end products, equipment and sealers. Our technicians are trained in house and are our own employees, never subcontractors. We use 350° vapor steam, never sub out stone work, and stand behind every job with warranties and guarantees. If you ever have a concern, we make it right. See what sets us apart on The Prestige Difference page.
What types of stone do you work?
All types of stone, including marble, travertine, limestone, soapstone, granite, onyx and slate, plus clay tiles like terracotta and Saltillo, and terrazzo floors.
Is there dust on any of your services?
About 90% of our services create no dust at all. The few that do are done with equipment that is 99% dust-free.
What is color seal?
Color seal is a colored, urethane-based sealer with concrete-hardening agents. It’s thick like pancake batter, so it fills the pores in your grout where dirt gets trapped instead of just waterproofing them. It has built-in mildewcides, comes in any color, and isn’t recommended for shower floors, where we use epoxy grout instead.
What is clear seal?
Clear seal is an impregnating sealer for granite, marble, engineered stone, quartzite, travertine, limestone and grout. It dries invisible with no residue and typically lasts about 12 months before it needs to be reapplied.
Why should I color seal my grout?
Unlike most clear sealers and grout colorants, which wash away after a few months of normal cleaning, our color seal fills the pores and isn’t water soluble once cured. It can last indefinitely with proper maintenance.
What is epoxy grout?
Epoxy grout is a high-performance grout with uniform color, extreme durability, stain resistance and full joints. It works with ceramic, glass and stone, indoors or out, and is ideal for shower floors, pools, fountains and other wet areas. We use Laticrete SpectraLOCK PRO, which cures in 14 days and is then permanently stain-proof.
Does Prestige offer any kind of maintenance program?
Yes. We offer monthly, twice-a-year and annual maintenance at different budget levels, including shower recaulking, cleaning and resealing, marble floor touch-ups and countertop refreshes.
How do we care for our newly restored surfaces?
We’ll give you care instructions for your specific surface. Just ask, and we recommend a pH-neutral cleaner for most stone and grout.
Is Prestige fully insured?
Yes. We carry general liability, workers’ comp and auto insurance, and can usually send a certificate the same day.
How much do your services cost?
It depends on the job. Grout cleaning and sealing for a bathroom floor starts around $200, and a Shower Refresh starts at $650. Every quote is free. Call or text (708) 582-6904.
How long does a typical job take?
Most cleaning, sealing and polishing jobs are done in a day. Shower rebuilds and stripping jobs take longer, and we’ll give you an exact timeline with your quote.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based in Schaumburg and serve all of Chicagoland, including Cook, DuPage, Kane and McHenry counties.
