Countertops Restoration and Protection in the San Diego Area
Expert Care for Marble, Granite, and Other Natural Stone Countertops
Your countertops are more than just work surfaces — they’re the centerpiece of your kitchen, bathroom, or bar area. At Excel Stone and Tile Care, we’ve been restoring and protecting natural stone countertops across the San Diego, CA area since 1989. As a family-owned and operated company, we combine craftsmanship, experience, and professional-grade products to bring your countertops back to their best.
We work on marble, granite, travertine, onyx, limestone, and more — repairing damage, restoring shine, and protecting your investment.

When is Countertop Restoration Needed?
Even the toughest countertops can suffer damage from daily life:
- Scratches and etch marks from cutting or abrasive cleaners
- Stains from wine, coffee, oil, or acidic foods
- Loss of polish and shine from constant use
- Small chips and cracks that spread over time
- When breaks and significant cracks occur
DIY fixes often make matters worse. Professional restoration not only fixes the damage but can also strengthen and protect the stone for years to come.
