Slate
Slate cleaning and restoration for Bay Area homes. Slate's cleft face hides soil well but can hold a contamination film that flattens its colour; our cleaning lifts that film, and the correct sealer restores depth without leaving the surface unnaturally glossy. We restore slate floors, patios and feature walls across the Bay Area, indoors and out.

A note on the material
Slate splits along natural cleavage planes into textured, characterful surfaces. Its cleft face hides soil well but, once saturated, can hold a film of contamination that flattens its colour. Cleaning lifts this film, and the correct sealer restores depth without leaving the surface unnaturally glossy.

ViewSlate cleaning FAQs
Should slate be sealed?
Yes — a penetrating sealer suited to slate restores depth and protects the cleft surface from staining and moisture without making it unnaturally glossy.
Can outdoor slate be cleaned safely?
Yes. We calibrate pressure to the cleft surface to lift soil and organic growth without flaking the stone, then seal for protection against sun and salt air.
