Fabulous! Rick did an excellent job. The shower is clean and sealed and finally, we can use it again! It's a large walk in shower with three large shower heads, so it gets a lot of use. Rick did a wonderful job. Also, the marble counter top looks shiny and beautiful again. Very impressive. We will definitely use Rick again.

Rick is very pleasant- punctual—answered all my many Qs on site and via emails —and really hard-working and focused, very knowledgeable. He also gave me an excellent idea for an easy cleaning poultice formula for me to do ahead of time to lighten up/remove old ingrained stone stains- which was a big help.

Over the years, I have hired a number of different people to clean and seal my kitchen countertops. But the first, and only, person to have done this so beautifully is Rick Arons from Marble & Granite Care Professionals. Unlike most countertops, mine are made of limestone. This stone is not like granite and cannot be treated as such, as others have done. Rick has been the only person who seems to have understood the properties of this stone. Not only did he do a wonderful job, but he is prompt, reliable, stands by his work, and very personable. I will continue to use him, as I now see no need to look elsewhere.

Rick was very knowledgeable and explained his method of working with our floor in detail. He answered all of our questions and gave us tips on how to care for the floor in the future. He was honest in explaining how the floor would look after he finished using the method he used to revitalize it. I am happy with his work and the finished product! I will use him for any "touch-ups" that are needed in the future.

PLEASE: Get your quotation in writing! I had some spots and discolorations on my marble floors in two bathrooms (both less than 6' x 6'). I told Rick that i wanted gleaming marble floors like I had when i moved into my place. He agreed that he could do the job. It would take about 4 hours and cost about $500. He arrived on time, but was finished in about 2 hours. I ENDED UP PAYING $250 PER HOUR!!! I should have hired a lawyer to do it for less! There were missed spots and the floors really didn't look any different except for maybe one spot in one bathroom. He left one of my sinks dirty with cleaning materials. He asked to use the toilet before he left. Of course I said "yes", but I didn't expect to have urine all over my toilet and on my just cleaned marble floors. Unfortunately, this is a typical Angie's List experience for me.

I really didn't see like he did a whole lot. It seemed like he just sprayed them down and kind of wiped them. We expected him to put kind of a clear coat on the countertops and he didn't do that. He wasn't there for very long. I was under the impression that he was supposed to do more. I feel like he cleaned them. I don't feel like he really sealed them, at least what I expected him to do. I didn't really get what we expected or explained that maybe we should have expected something different. To improve, I think it's to explain what goes into what you're getting with the deal be it the cleaning and sealing and what they're using because like I said I don't really feel like they sealed them. I thought they cleaned them but... It's not really the best work. The guy was nice enough but again we don't really feel like we got what we thought we were gonna get. That'd be the worst part. I don't really have a comparison so it's hard for me to say, I mean the price was fine, but it goes back to doing the work we thought we were gonna get. Responsiveness, punctuality and professionalism were fine.
Description of Work: I had a big deal purchase with MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC from Angie's List. He came out and he cleaned our countertops. We had him do our shower as well so we got charged extra.

Response from MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC
Resealing of granite counters is a necessary, but not complicated process. I explained to the customer that this involves three chemicals: a cleaner, a sealer and a polish. The sealer is an "impregnator" which lies beneath the surface of the stone and is invisible to the eye. The polish is used to remove any excess sealer and leave a nice shine. I am sorry for any misunderstanding. I thought I explained this clearly both in a phone conversation and at the time of service. This information is also available on my web site.

Rick was outstanding. He educated me on the proper care for the countertop and also helped to fully remove the stain, which was fruit juice that had settled into the granite for some time.

To be respectful, we had swept the deck from a long winter before his arrival, but a few pine needles from our Holiday tree, etc. were still obviously present. Our expectation was it would be cleaned and sealed as advertised. We had also hoped the marble would regain some of it's previous deep emerald color, which had been lost over the years to oxidation. Instead, the deck was not cleaned and the sealer was installed on top of the pine needles, etc. It took less than 30 minutes, by my estimate. I was home at the time and when I inquired, he went into a long explanation about the composition of marble and why he couldn't do any better. He obviously knows his stuff from a geology perspective, but the disconnect was striking. He then volunteered to put a "color enhancer" on it to try to bring back the emerald, which, while appreciated, he again put on top of the needles and dirt. It made only the slightest difference in color. Net net? When he left the deck barely looked different then when he arrived. If he couldn't do the job for the price purchased, he should have made that clear when he arrived. I wasn't going to debate with him, but I could have bought sealer at Home Depot! Angie, I can't believe I'm saying this, but we need to talk about a refund!

Response from MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC
This customer purchased a coupon and expected a job to be done well beyond the coupon's value. Nevertheless I provided the service at the coupon price. His pine needles were constantly blowing over and around his outdoor floor. His expectations were unrealistic, and he did not express his dissatisfaction to me at the time. While his criticism is disingenuous, I am refunding his coupon cost. It is important for a service provider to accurately assess the expectations and intentions of a prospective customer before accepting the work. Unfortunately, the coupon purchasing option does not allow the provider to make that assessment.

This is the second time I have used MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC. The first time was in 2011 and i had the counters cleaned and sealed. I have been using Rick's cleaning solution ever since. When it came time to have the counters sealed again I did not hesitate to contact MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC. Rick is very professional and does fantastic work. He always keep me informed if he needs to change our appointment or if he is running late. I will continue to use MARBLE & GRANITE CARE PROFESSIONALS INC for my granite needs.
