Stone Revivers™
"Fall in Love with Your Stone—All Over Again."
You Own the Ferrari of Countertops
Over decades of construction, many countertop fads have come and gone. However, one material has consistently remained a luxury option throughout; natural stone. It is the pinnacle of quality natural material used for residential and commercial design applications. Becoming a must-have for nearly every property that uses the term, "luxury" in their marketing materials. Congratulations, you own the very best—the Ferrari of countertops.
Only the Top of the Line for You
The motivations behind having natural stone in a home range from pure aesthetics to chef-minded practicality, with the overarching theme being, "I'm worth the extra investment to get what I want." Sure, there are other material options that some consider more, "cost effective," like the Prius of the automotive world. Of course, every Ferrari owner could have purchased a Prius instead, but they too said to themselves, "I'm worth the extra investment to get what I want." Now, it's time to begin maintaining your investment in the same way you do/will your Ferrari.
Maintenance that Matches the Level of Investment
Would you bring your precious Ferrari to, "Joe Shmoe's Autoplex" for scheduled maintenance or repairs? Neither would we. You would only work with companies that had a record of successful projects completed with the highest quality automobiles. The Alfortish name has been synonymous with the highest quality stonework in the greater New Orleans area for over 120 years with 5 generations of stonemasons. The knowledge and experience accumulated over that time is exercised in every project we're involved with, no matter the scope or the scale.
Education & Communication is the Key to Next Level Service
It's an unfortunate fact, most owners of natural stone-clad homes are actually uninformed or incorrectly informed when it comes to the care and maintenance of their natural stone. There was no formal presentation that outlined the characteristics of the materials, explained how they react to common food and kitchen cleaning products, gave instructions on how to react in the event of a stain or break, or explain the ways stone breakage most commonly happens so you can create rules to avoid it.
You Lovingly Use Your Stone;
Now Allow Us to Lovingly Restore Your Stone
Natural stone is actually quite porous, despite its mirror-like shine. Meaning, depending on the substance & surface combination plus the frequency of staining, stains can seep deep into the stone. Stains deep enough that common cleaners won't come close to pulling them out, and make the stain harder to remove.
Stone in bathrooms is exposed to high temperatures with humidity on a regular basis, requiring more frequent cleaning and sealing to maintain integrity. Combined with the humidity are the many chemicals & colors involved with grooming & dental products that can strip protective sealer then seep into stone.
Ensuring your countertops are free of any chips that could snag a little chef's clothing (or skin) when they're working in the kitchen, or just passing through. Heavy pots are usually to blame for edge blow-outs near stoves, on islands, and around the rim of undermount sinks. Unfortunately, these blow-outs can go unnoticed until they scrape the skin of a busy chef, no matter their age.
Heavy bar and counter stools commonly used around islands & bars can bang into the polished edges of countertops, causing blow-outs, scratches, and chips, especially in high-traffic areas. Awareness around this fact can prevent new issues and avoid making existing scratches & pockmarks worse.
Revive & Protect the Heart of Your Home
The kitchen is the heart of most homes, the place of family gathering and the epicenter of delicious smells that permeate throughout the house, making it a real home, not just a house.
From the everyday morning coffee or tea routine to large lavish family get togethers, your countertops are constantly working hard to keep up with the flow of your evolving life.
Unfortunately, for many homeowners, their natural stone countertops (marble, granite, quartzite) have not been professionally deep-cleaned & protectively sealed since they were installed—well before the house was sold.

High Standards Born from Expansive Experience
No matter the remedy needed for your stone, the work will be seamlessly taken care of to the point where, you won’t be able to point it out anymore.
It is very common for us to fix unsightly areas resulting from careless or unskilled initial stone installation, such as; deteriorating structural epoxy seams between pieces, poor seam water-proofing, weak securing of vulnerable areas, low-quality surface sealing, and corner blow-outs.
How about an entire corner broken off?
We fixed that to, “I would have never known,” condition. Why tell you this? To show off? Yes, absolutely. And also to set your mind at ease. Don’t fret, we’ll be able to handle whatever you’ve thrown at your kitchen, bathroom, & beyond.
We're so confident in our ability to restore and fix any natural stone issue you may throw our way that we've created our robust & luxurious Stone Revivers™ Satisfaction Guarantee to make sure you're taken care of.
Experience Working with Local Industry Leaders
Project Spotlight
Renovation Refresh,
Metairie, LA
Previous clients of RMC Construction, Flynn Designs, and Omega Stoneworks, Jim & his wife had their forever home renovated to beautifully high standards with granite & marble throughout the entire home 2 years ago. Their stone was in dire need of some TLC.
The massive island would not have been possible without RMC & Flynn Designs crafting such a spacious open concept that involved the careful removal of a main load-bearing wall.
Satisfied Customers
These Clients Were Nice Enough to Share Their Experience With Us
”Stone Revivers saved my kitchen's marble countertops! The kitchen island had several chips from when bar stools kept bumping into the edges, and I thought I'd need to replace the whole thing. Their repair work was incredible - you can't even tell where the damage was. They also applied their nano sealer, and I'm amazed at how well it works. Last week, my daughter spilled red wine on the counter, and it beaded right up without leaving any stain. Their attention to detail during both the repair and sealing process was impressive. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.”
David Hebert
”As someone who flips 5-6 houses annually, finding Stone Revivers has been a game-changer for my business. I recently had them restore the granite countertops in three of my renovation projects. The counters were badly stained and looked dated, but their deep cleaning process and nano sealer application made them look brand new. Saved me at least $12,000 by not having to replace them. The best part is that I can confidently tell buyers the countertops are protected against future staining. They're now my go-to company for all stone restoration work.”
James Cooper
”Managing a busy restaurant means our stone surfaces take a beating. After years of heavy use, our marble table tops and granite counters were looking dull and had accumulated stubborn stains that our regular cleaning couldn't handle. Stone Revivers transformed them completely. Their professional-grade cleaning removed years of buildup, and their nano sealer has made daily maintenance so much easier. Everything looks pristine even after months of heavy use. Their team worked after hours to avoid disrupting our service, and the results exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend them for any commercial stone restoration needs.”

Since the early 1970's, the Alfortish family has been successfully completing many of the highest-profile residential properties, ranging from top-of-the-world penthouses at 1 Canal Place to architectural award-winning custom homes in Metairie, Covington, New Orleans, Baton Rouge & Kenner.

Dalton Alfortish & Jay McSwain
As a fifth-generation stonemason, Dalton has a passion for keeping the artisan trade of Stonemasonry alive. Whether it's through expansive and intricately book-matched quartzite countertops throughout luxury custom homes, or restoring a busy family's granite kitchen countertops to feel and shine like the day they viewed the house & the moment they fell in love with it.
With over 25+ years and thousands of jobs completed from start to finish, stone-working veteran, Jay McSwain, has a driving passion for natural stone and the art of crafting it into stunning kitchens, bathrooms, showers, and much more. Over the years and through the extremely wide spectrum of stonework he's completed, Jay has developed true mastery in repairing & restoring natural stone. This is only part of the experience he brings to every project entrusted to Stone Revivers.
When on a trip to Richmond, Texas to visit family, Dalton was approached by a local real estate agent who knew of his expertise in natural stone, to appraise the current condition of his rental property's kitchen countertops & quote the work needed to revive them back to "freshly-installed" condition.
When Dalton realized the stone hadn't been properly serviced since it was installed, he was struck with the realization; this was an extremely common situation that lead to health hazardous surface build-ups due to unsealed stone, black mold spreading due to failed joint epoxy, among many other systemic problems from stone neglect.
Right there, Stone Revivers was born.
