I had two concrete sinks refinished by Techstone -- one of which has been a problem since day one thanks to a shady builder who didn't construct or seal it properly 10+ years ago. After years of frustration, I finally decided to get it refinished. I found Techstone through ChatGPT (yep!) and went out on a limb after reading the great reviews. Paul was awesome. Professional, kind, trustworthy, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. He sanded, polished, and sealed both sinks, doing the absolute best possible job -- especially on the difficult one. He even came back to see if there was anything more he could do to improve it. The sink now looks the best it *can* given its condition, and I really appreciate the care and effort he put in. I would **highly recommend** Paul and Techstone over anyone else. Solid work, great attitude, a reasonable price and total pro. read more

Hired Techstone to seal all of the stone and grout at a home in the Sea Haven community. I am pleased with their work, knowing that the initial sealing of grout and stone on new construction is most important. Follow-on maintenance will be easy. They are on the high-end of pricing but having the work completed in a timely fashion while surpassing expectations with their choice of professional sealers was most important. It is done and I am more than satisfied. The stone countertops shine and water beads off of the grout and stone. Live long and prosper. read more

We had a discoloration problem with our bath vanity countertop. We contacted Paul who arrived the same day, had his equipment with him and promptly fixed it. Wow, we were very impressed with his professionalism and expertise and would highly recommend him. read more

I used Techstone to resolve a number of stone problems prior to moving in to my "new to me" home. That included polishing and sealing granite, along with work performed on the floors. I was most impressed with their ability to completely remove an ugly blue stain on the granite and to resolve a lot of chipping in my limestone floor. Owner Paul has a terrific attention to detail and worked the job until he was satisfied that it looked good, even if that meant the job took longer than he anticipated. Highly recommended. read more

I knew I liked Paul, the owner of Techstone. He was smart, experienced, had answers to all my questions, and solutions to all my concerns. The real test was, would I like the crew doing the work. The answer: A resounding yes. I had Techstone clean 15 flagstone (Carmel Stone) stairs leading to my front door, a flagstone patio, and the flagstone on my front porch. I'm sure the stone had not been cleaned since it was installed by the old homeowner in the early 1990s. There were dark, ugly, moldy spots and streaks that would not come out no matter how much scrubbing and treating I did. Paul and his crew scrubbed every crevice, made sure not to damage the mortar or surrounding brick, used environmentally-sensitive chemicals, contained all the runoff, worked quickly and were extremely customer-focused. They took pride in their work, and it showed in the final results (see before-and-after photos). I'm particular and fussy. But the Techstone crew met all my needs in every way. read more

The entire process by Tech Stone was impeccably straightforward and professional. Our marble countertops now look brand new, gleaming and smooth. The team is personable, low profile and helpful, including great advice plus a complimentary marble cleaner for daily use. We strongly recommend Paul and his team at Tech Stone. read more

These guys really did a fantastic job! I had some (not inexpensive) bathroom tile with staining and damage in one spot. It would have cost a fortune to re-do all the tile. They fixed the one spot to match and blended it all in so there's no more issue. Also cleaned and re-sealed my shower, fixed some grout issues - looks like new. This job took most of the day and they really made me feel good about their ability to get it done right, kept the area all clean and left without a trace of any work materials. If you have a tricky job on a higher end house I would definitely put these guys on the job. Gave me some advice on future cleaning and tipped me off to the right cleaning materials to use. Paul went above and beyond. Great experience all around. read more

I have worked with Paul for 3 years. He first rehabbed our Saltillo tiles and continues to keep them in great condition after 35 years of use. I asked him to take on a failed steam shower grout job. He sent Patrick who removed and successfully replaced the grout a year ago. Paul and Ben just finished cleaning and resealing the tiles in the kitchen, hallway and bathrooms. Paul has a wonderful way of listening, explaining and paying attention to detail. We appreciate his expertise. read more

Paul came in under a very short timeframe to clean and reseal approx 1500 sq ft of tumbled stone and grout that had probably never been cleaned in the last 12-15 years as well as hone/restore a large master bathroom floor. We were amazed just how clean it looked when the job was complete. He and his team worked efficiently and the communication throughout the job was excellent. A worthwhile investment! read more

Yesterday I reached out to Paul to get some advice on a project I was doing at home with my tile cleaning. He went out of his way to describe and coach me through the project with recommendations and which products I should use and how to use them. It was great to talk with someone who cares about his customers and sharing his experience. Not always the case these days. I highly recommend Paul to anyone moving forward. Paul, Thanks again you are Awesome read more

Paul and his crew did a fabulous job refinishing the tile throughout our house. They also refinished the marble tiles on our three decks, and refurbished the grout on them too. It all looks SO much better. It's renewed the look overall of our home, and brought out the beauty of the marble. They are very professional and timely as well. They provide an excellent service. read more

I reviewed them in 2014, I had a marble bath, floor, shower, tub surround etc. I'm a Property Manager and I've been doing it for 57-years. Vendors come and go and specialized vendors are very hard to find. Tech Stone came and restored my then Marble bath to original, they also touched up my granite kitchen counters and sealed them all. Several years later I tried to reach them to come for a touch up and was unable to find them. I just recently heard there was some difficulty at that specific time and that difficulty is no more. I was thrilled at the job they did for me, so I want to again recommend them for the work that they do. What you see on the website is what they did for me at my home. read more

Vert pleased with the repair to our granite countertops. I would definitely recommend techstone. Fast and friendly service.

The best review given is that my husband was extremely happy with Paul and the work he did. Not an easy approval to get. Paul did an amazing job, he was thorough with great attention to detail, very professional and easy to work with. He cleaned and sealed our tile grout and repaired a chip in our granite. You can't even tell where the chip was it matches perfectly. read more

After trying for months to get a call back I have to assume that Paul moved back to Canada. I was his first reviewer and am very disappointed that he can't be reached. I even wrote to Rich M. who left a review dated 3/7/19 but didn't hear back from him either. Oh well, I need to find someone else now. read more

Had our weathered outdoor deck tile refinished. Vastly improved. Had early setbacks, but they returned twice to get it right. Not cheap. Excellent customer service, and follow thru. Recommended! read more

Our local tile supplier recommended Techstone for marble restoration. We have marble tile entryways, bathrooms and fireplaces, which were all showing signs of aging, including stains, chips, scratches and general lack of luster. Jesse and Austin worked hard all day to clean, repair and restore the tile to a beautiful finish. They also re-grouted areas that needed it. When they were done, the tile gleamed. We were very pleased with their work and professionalism. The price was a bit high, but the end results were worth it. read more

I had a very good experience with Paul in helping resolve etching on my colored concrete kitchen counter tops. The etching was from lemon juice and leakage from overripe tomatoes. On his initial visit, Paul explained his process for improving the appearance of the etched areas. The work he subsequently performed was consistent with what he had previously explained and I was highly satisfied with the end result. The etching was removed as Paul said he would do. I will use Paul again without hesitation for other stone cleaning and restoration work. read more

Do not use this service. It is unreliable. Paul Maclin went out of his way to get the business and then rescheduled once and wanted to reschedule a second time after having confirmed the night before that he would be at my place at 9:30 the next morning. At 10 I called him and finally at 10:15 he called back to say he had to reschedule again. Not professional! read more

Paul and Keith exceeded my expectations when the came and refurbished the shower tile and tub in our older rental. Very professional. My satisfaction was their entire focus. Will use them again. read more

Called Techstone late in the day yesterday and had Seth arrive first thing this morning! Excellent responsiveness. The work we needed done was minor (some surface cracks and small chips in our limestone outside), but rather than being upset that he came all the way out for such a small job or wasting my time by giving me an inflated quote to make the job worth his time, Seth instead walked me through a detailed explanation of what I could do on my own to fix the problem areas and even recommended the products that would work best and last the longest. I really appreciated his knowledge, honesty and willingness to help me even though it clearly wasn't going to have a monetary benefit to either Seth or Techstone...at least on this job. Integrity is hard to find these days in a contractor. Seth and Techstone have it. I would and will definitely recommend Techstone (and Seth specifically!) to anyone needing marble or stone care in the future!!! read more

We needed to get our travertine floor cleaned and resealed. Jesse did a great job with the estimate process, explaining the process and answering all our questions. Very helpful, pleasant and thorough. 2 days later, Jesse and Austin arrived to do the job. They were very punctual, professional, and hard working. Moved our furniture so carefully, and worked with any special requests we had in terms of moving or not moving some large pieces, depending on our preference. And the end result: BEAUTIFUL! It was a big job, but these guys got it done, with a smile on their faces. We are very pleased. read more

Paul did a fantastic job restoring my kitchen and bathrooms. My travertine bathroom counters were so stained by the Carmel hard water that I was considering installing new ones- no need now. I definitely recommend the mirror finish, and the good news is it lasts for 5 years. Get Techstone into your home and Spring clean your granite, marble and travertine. I am so pleased I did. read more

I had spoken with another company about restoring our marble and granite counter top's but after speaking with Paul and him explaining the process I knew I wanted him to do the work. He arrived on time and took about 30 minutes just to prepare with plastic and tape before starting his buffing. By the end of the day I couldn't believe my eyes, the transformation of all four of my counter tops was just incredible. They looked brand new!! Paul's price was higher than the other company but the end work made it well worth it. Paul is an absolute delight, a stone expert and his work is just amazing. Absolutely recommend Tech Stone to anyone. read more

I picked Techstone to bring back the life of my travertine and marble floors based on their Yelp reviews and the fact that they are a diamond certified company. Seth came out and gave me an estimate and the following week the guys showed up to do the work. They worked 7 hours straight and never took a break! Their hard work paid off as my floors look absolutely beautiful. Almost like new! The whole experience was seamless and I would highly recommend this company. read more

Paul and his company Techstone Floors ... did an amazing job on my travertine tile floors ! My home was flooded from a broken water pipe ... water was everywhere!! We hired him after he was approved by our insurance company!! I m so happy we did !!! He took those poor beat up tiles and made them shine again!!! His workmanship is above and beyond anything I was expecting!! He was always on time and delivered everything he promised!! Thank you Paul and Carmen you two are amazing!!! I love my floors !!!!Becky S. read more

Disappointed in Paul not showing up for an appointment for an estimate to refinish marble countertops and travertine flooring (nor calling to re-schedule) on the Monterey Peninsula. This was after I called Techstone twice to schedule an appointment. Maybe they are great once a contract has been signed, but I am leery when a business is unresponsive in the sales process itself, or does not have the courtesy to show up once an appointment has been scheduled. read more

Paul at Tech Stone was very cooperative and sent Seth to do a repair job on our Zodiac counter. Seth arrived early, was extremely thorough and pleasant to work with and did an excellent job. We had a minor repair to our Zodiac counter but it was causing tears in clothing so it needed to get fixed. It looks "good as new" and I couldn't be happier. Both Paul and Seth were professional and I recommend them highly. read more

Jesse worked on my floors the entire day and I swear they look as good as new. With over 1500 square feet of marble, it NEEDS to shine or you might as well buy hardwood. The quote was fair and the work was focused with attention to every detail. They were gentle with my furniture and covered appliances. They were even nice to my dogs! Courteous, professional, efficient and focused. I would refer them to ANYONE considering stone repair, resurfacing, or simply a good polish. I intend to have Techstone return each year to keep my marble floors in tip top shape. It is my pleasure to provide this recommendation. read more

Over time I've had contact with Paul, Seth and Jessie. Pleased to say they all represent the firm well with excellent customer support. We recently had our long neglected (ten years plus) travertine floors refurbished and sealed in addition to cleaning /polishing tile in two master baths.The process occurred just as anticipated with help moving some of the larger furniture pieces. The result has been beautiful stone floors that appear to be newly installed. The entire team worked hard to get things right, and Seth committed to minor follow up as well. Techstone fields a well trained team that focuses on customer satisfaction and rates five stars with us. read more

We are so happy with the work that Jesse did in our master bathroom shower. It looks as great as the day it was installed seven years ago. (Actually, it might look even better.) He also brought our marble counters back to their original beauty and shine and then went to work on a few things in other bathrooms that were annoying us (glass shower door, stains on stone, etc.). Jesse was very professional and clearly loves what he does. I don't think he stopped once in the full day he was here. Like another reviewer, I was in traffic when I noticed the Techstone van. Might be the first time that I'm thrilled I was in traffic! Thanks so much, and we'll be calling you again to keep up with our regular maintenance. read more
