Thinking About MORE® AntiEtch®? 

Here’s What to Expect When Protecting Your Stone Surfaces

NY, NJ & CT

Love your marble but hate the constant battle against stains and etching? You’re not alone. Homeowners and businesses throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are turning to MORE® AntiEtch® to protect their natural stone from damage — without sacrificing its beauty.

This advanced coating creates an invisible barrier that defends against etching, stains, and everyday wear. If you’re considering this treatment, here’s a breakdown of what the process looks like and how we make it easy from start to finish.

Step 1: In-Home Evaluation & Quote

Every project begins with a site visit. Our trained technicians will inspect your stone surfaces, looking for etching, stains, and other signs of damage. Based on the condition of your countertops, we’ll recommend the right approach and provide a clear estimate.

We’ll also walk you through a projected timeline — most jobs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the scope and whether restoration is needed.

Step 2: Prep & Surface Restoration

Once we arrive to begin work, we prepare the space by protecting surrounding areas and ensuring safe access to the stone. If your surface has been etched or stained, we’ll restore it first.

Using a dust-controlled sanding system with HEPA filtration, we gently resurface the stone to remove damage and create the perfect foundation for the coating. Our process keeps your home clean and minimizes disruption.

Next, we carefully mix and apply the MORE® AntiEtch® solution. The formula is self-leveling, creating a smooth, uniform layer that bonds to the stone’s surface. We then cure the coating with UV light to lock it in place, ensuring strong, long-lasting protection.

This food-safe, low-VOC barrier doesn’t change the appearance of your stone — it simply keeps it looking better, longer.

Step 4: Your Choice of Finish

After curing, you’ll choose the final look:

  • Matte for a subtle, contemporary feel
  • Satin for a soft, elegant glow
  • Gloss for a more traditional, high-shine finish

Whichever you choose, your stone will maintain its natural character — just with built-in protection.

Step 5: Dry Time & Follow-Up

Surfaces are typically ready to use right away. We’ll provide you with easy-to-follow care guidelines so you can confidently maintain your newly protected surface.

Typical Project Duration

  • Vanities or small areas: 1 day
  • Full kitchens or large areas: 1–3 days
  • Surface restoration required? Add 1 additional day

We aim to work efficiently while respecting your space and schedule.
