Arizona Tile & Stone Specialist is one of the only specialty companies in the Phoenix Valley that restores Terrazzo surfaces! And when it comes to finding an expert to work with your slate and flagstone flooring or patio in a residential or commercial setting, look no further!
Slate and Flagstone are metamorphic rocks commonly used for flooring and pavers because of their ability to be easily split into thin layers. They are also reasonably priced. It’s important to properly care for slate and flagstone as they are a shale rock, which flakes away its layers over time.
Professionally cleaning and sealing this stone on a regular basis will help slow the shale process and extend the longevity of the stone. We offer various sealers for these types of stones based on your preference, including penetrating sealers to maintain their natural look, enriching sealers to enrich their color, or topical sealers to enrich the color, add a glossier finish, and make them easier to clean. We also offer topical removal services if your old topical sealer is peeling, and you’d like it stripped off.
Our stone cleaning process consists of several steps ensuring your Natural Stone flooring looks beautiful.
We begin all services to slate and flagstone with a complimentary in-home consultation. During this visit, we’ll do a thorough inspection of the condition of the stone and discuss cleaning and sealing options. A quote will be provided based on your needs and selection.

With the work order created during your consultation, your technician will have a customized plan to follow for your floor or patio when you schedule your service. This will include applying a stone safe cleaner to the surface, will sometimes include a machine brush scrub, and will always include a high pressure / high heat rinse with our SX-15. The SX-15 is a self-contained pressure washer that sprays up to 1200 psi water at 200 degrees. The vacuum hose attached to the unit will extract the water and dirt from the surface while it’s being rinsed.

Once the stone has dried, your technician will apply the sealer selected during your consultation. Different sealers have different dry times. Your technician can advise you on how long you should wait before you can move furniture back and walk on it. They will also point out any areas of concern they may have noticed and can advise you on how to care for it in the future.

Our Topical Sealer can be applied with a matte, semi gloss, or high gloss finish to thoroughly seal and protect the stone.
Solvent impregnating sealers are what we highly recommend for natural stone surfaces. The large molecular structure protects the hard to seal porous nature of natural stone and offers superior protection from oil and water-based staining.
