On 3/18/2008 A great service and web site was introduce to the greater Columbus Ohio area, Patrick Stone Restoration Service specializes in the repair of natural stone countertops. Steve Patrick, owner of Patrick Stone Restoration Service realized there was need for detailed countertop repair not offered by stone fabricators and installers in the Ohio area. After exhaustive research Steve found Fred Hueston’s “Stone University” that gave the fundamentals of restoration as well as a background of basic geology and chemistry that is important in working with natural stone. Steve also took an advanced hands on courses offered by the renowned stone restorationist Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. He now offers high quality restoration of natural stone surfaces. Viewing stone as “art” produced by Mother Nature, the goal is to produce a highly detailed surface restoration. In addition to professional cleaning and sealing to help keeping marble and granite surfaces looking their best, Patrick Stone Restoration Service also offers detailed seam work on countertops to make the necessary seams less noticeable and in most case totally invisible from two feet away.

When asked, what is the best part of your job, he said “One of my favorite parts of the job is when the customer returns and has a hard time finding the seam that was so apparent before the work was done” Steve concludes. “For us in the stone restoration trade this is a form of art.”
