Expert Maintenance Backed by Proven Protection Techniques

When it comes to maintaining the longevity and appearance of stone countertops, proper sealing and maintenance are critical. In Centerville, Utah, where daily use, spills, and Utah’s semi-arid climate can impact stone surfaces, reliable maintenance ensures long-term performance. With over 30 years of experience in stone countertop fabrication and installation, Legacy Granite understands the importance of regular care in preserving both the beauty and structural integrity of countertops in Centerville, Utah, and surrounding areas including Bountiful, Farmington, North Salt Lake, Kaysville, Salt Lake City, Layton, and South Salt Lake.


Sealing isn't just a one-time task—it’s a specialized process tailored to each material. Natural stones, such as granite, marble, and quartzite, are porous; without adequate sealing, they absorb spills, oils, and bacteria, leading to stains, discoloration, and surface degradation. Engineered surfaces, such as quartz, may benefit from periodic polishing to restore their luster. In kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial settings, regular countertop maintenance prevents common issues such as etching, dullness, and bacterial buildup.


Our countertop sealing and maintenance services start with an in-person evaluation to assess surface condition, material type, prior care, and usage patterns. We then recommend a customized maintenance plan—ranging from deep cleaning and stain removal to re-sealing, polishing, and applying protective coatings optimized for the type of stone and regional humidity levels. We use premium sealant products and follow certified application techniques to ensure the sealant penetrates effectively and lasts longer. Choose countertop sealing and maintenance that preserves natural beauty and functionality—season after season, project after project.

Our Countertop Sealing & Maintenance Services

Pre‑Seal Deep Cleaning

We remove surface buildup and old sealant layers using pH-neutral cleaners and professional-grade solutions. This ensures better adhesion for the new seal. Every stone surface is carefully assessed for residue, mineral deposits, or embedded grime before deep cleaning begins. This foundational step guarantees maximum effectiveness from the sealing process.

High‑Quality Sealant Application

We apply industry-standard penetrating sealers selected for the stone’s porosity and usage. Multiple coats provide long-term protection against stains and moisture. Each product is matched to your countertop’s material—granite, quartzite, or marble—to ensure optimal protection. This step helps prevent deep-set staining from food, oils, and household cleaners.

Edges & Seam Sealing

We pay special attention to edges and seams—common points of moisture entry—sealing thoroughly around sinks and joints to prevent water damage. High-traffic zones such as corners, faucet bases, and edge joins are fortified using precision tools. This helps reduce separation, discoloration, or cracking over time.

Polishing & Shine Restoration

For dull or etched stone surfaces, we apply diamond polishing pads to restore shine and smooth texture on countertops, island surfaces, and vanities. We adjust polishing intensity based on the level of wear and the type of stone. This service helps breathe life back into older countertops.

Spot Stain & Etch Removal

We address localized stains and acid etching using specialized poultices and techniques, effectively restoring clarity and color integrity. Each blemish is treated individually to ensure it lifts without affecting the rest of the stone. We also provide guidance on preventing future etching and discoloration.

Scheduled Maintenance Programs

We offer seasonal or annual maintenance check-ups to assess sealant integrity, apply top-up layers, perform cleaning, and document service history. Our programs are tailored to your countertop material and household usage patterns. We help you establish a lasting care routine that extends the longevity of your countertop.

Benefits of Professional Countertop Sealing & Maintenance

Enhanced Stain Resistance

Professional sealing creates a protective barrier that prevents spills from penetrating the stone surface. This is especially important for porous materials like granite, marble, or quartzite. With regular sealing, your countertops repel oil, wine, and acidic substances more effectively. It significantly reduces the risk of permanent discoloration from everyday kitchen use.

Prolonged Material Lifespan

Routine maintenance and sealing reduce the risk of wear, etching, or moisture infiltration. This extends the life of your countertops, protecting your investment and avoiding premature replacement. Over time, this durability preserves the structural integrity of the stone itself.

Maintains Natural Appearance

Sealing helps preserve the natural luster, texture, and color of your stone surface. Without it, stones can dull, fade, or develop uneven patches. Professional care ensures your countertops retain their original aesthetic charm. It also enhances depth and richness, keeping your surfaces visually striking.

Easier Day-to-Day Cleaning

A properly sealed surface is smoother and more resistant to grime buildup, making daily cleaning quicker and more effective. Dirt and spills are less likely to stick, allowing for a spotless finish with minimal effort. You’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time enjoying your space.

Protection Against Bacteria and Mold

Sealing minimizes water absorption and prevents organic materials from settling into tiny crevices, helping reduce the growth of mold and bacteria. This promotes a healthier environment in food preparation areas. It also helps keep unwanted odors and moisture-related damage at bay.

Cost Savings Over Time

Though sealing and maintenance have upfront costs, they prevent expensive restoration, repairs, or full countertop replacement down the line. Regular care helps preserve both the structure and surface. Long-term, this proactive approach adds measurable value to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should countertops be sealed?

    Most natural stone surfaces need resealing every 12–24 months, depending on usage. In high-traffic kitchens or moist environments, annual maintenance ensures optimal protection. We also assess porosity during service visits to determine the right sealing interval. Regular sealing prevents deep staining and maintains the surface's beauty.

  • Will sealing change the countertop’s look?

    No—the right penetrating sealant preserves the natural appearance and texture of the stone. It enhances depth and clarity without producing a glossy or artificial finish. Our products are selected to complement your countertop’s existing finish. You’ll notice richer tones without a coated or plastic feel.

  • Can I use household cleaners instead?

    No—harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners degrade sealant and damage stone. We recommend stone-safe cleaners and professional-grade solutions to avoid etching or discoloration. Improper cleaning can significantly reduce the sealant's lifespan. We provide guidance on approved products for daily use.

  • Is sealing necessary for quartz countertops?

    Engineered quartz is non‑porous but can benefit from polishing and occasional surface protection—especially on matte finishes. We tailor maintenance based on material type. Surface enhancers and protective coatings can help preserve finish uniformity. Routine care still improves appearance and longevity.


  • How long does the sealing process take?

    Typical sealing takes 2–3 hours plus curing time. Larger surfaces or extensive polishing may extend to a half- or full-day process. We always provide upfront time estimates based on the project scope. Access to the area during curing should be limited for best results.

  • Can I cook on countertops right after sealing?

    Yes—but we recommend waiting 2–4 hours to allow the sealant to properly penetrate and cure before beginning heavy use or food preparation activities . For best results, avoid placing hot pots or cutting directly during this period. Full curing ensures long-lasting protection from spills and stains.

  • Do you offer maintenance packages?

    Yes—we provide tiered maintenance programs, including inspection, cleaning, sealing, and polishing. We’ll recommend the optimal schedule for your stone type and usage. Clients can choose from annual or semi-annual plans, which include reminders. These packages help maintain consistent performance and aesthetics.

  • What if a stain reappears after sealing?

    We offer follow‑up stain treatments at no additional cost within a specified warranty period. This ensures continued protection and satisfaction. Reappearing stains are rare but can happen with porous stones. We document all treatments for transparency and future care planning.
