Our professional restoration process will breathe new life into your floors, revealing their natural beauty and protecting them for years.

Saltillo tiles, with their characteristic imperfections and warm, earthy tones, are beloved in many Los Angeles homes.
Hailing from the Mexican city of Saltillo, these unique clay tiles offer a rustic elegance that complements various architectural styles.
However, their porous nature makes them susceptible to damage if not properly maintained.

Common Problems Plaguing Saltillo Tile Floors

Does your Saltillo tile floor suffer from any of the following issues?

• Dullness and Lack of Shine: The original glossy finish can wear away, leaving the tiles flat and lifeless.
• Dirty and Stained Grout: Porous grout lines easily absorb dirt, grime, and spills, leading to discoloration.
• Efflorescence: A white, powdery residue can appear on the surface of the tiles, caused by salt deposits from moisture.
• Chips, Cracks, and Scratches: Heavy foot traffic and impacts can lead to unsightly damage.
• Uneven Sealing and Discoloration: Improperly applied sealant can result in a patchy, uneven appearance and inadequate protection.

Attempting to restore Saltillo tiles yourself can often lead to further damage.
Harsh chemicals and improper techniques can strip the tiles of their natural patina and permanently mar their surface.

The Professional Difference: Our Restoration Process

Our team of experienced technicians utilizes a meticulous process to restore the beauty of your Saltillo tile floors:

1. Deep Cleaning and Stripping: We begin by thoroughly stripping away old, worn-out sealant and embedded dirt.
   This reveals the tile’s natural surface and prepares it for restoration.
2. Expert Repair: Any chipped, cracked, or broken tiles are carefully repaired or replaced, ensuring a seamless and uniform look.
3. Staining and Color Enhancement (Optional): If you desire a richer, more uniform color, we can apply a high-quality stain to enhance the natural tones of the tile.
4. Grout Restoration: We deep clean the grout lines to remove stains and can even re-color the grout to match your preference and create a fresh, clean appearance.
5. Premium Sealing: The final and most crucial step is applying a high-quality, penetrating sealant.
   This protects your tiles from moisture, stains, and daily wear and tear while providing a beautiful, long-lasting finish in either a matte or gloss sheen.
