GK’s Custom Polishing restores the beauty of natural stone floors, countertops, showers, baths and more
By Ken McEntee
One of the reasons granite, marble and other natural stones are so desirable is because they can make any space or surface look more beautiful and inviting, insists Jonathan Costa, Director of Sales for GK’s Custom Polishing, Inc., in Avon.
“The challenge, however, is that natural stone surfaces are prone to becoming dull and discolored,” Jonathan says.
“It occurs over time, so you probably won’t even notice it happening.”
That’s why Jonathan suggests having routine maintenance done on natural stone surfaces every three to five years.
GK’s Custom Polishing, Inc., he says, specializes in bringing the luster back to natural stone, tile and grout and concrete surfaces. Established in 1994, GK’s is the go-to expert for:

“We clean and restore just about any hard surface inside and outside of your home with the exception of wood,” Jonathan explains. “We do any natural stone as well as exterior surfaces like concrete driveways, limestone and stamped concrete walkways and patios.”
Few people would deny the beauty of a natural stone shower. And few who enjoy luxurious stone in their bathroom would deny the effort it takes to keep it properly maintained.
“Every shower is going to have soap scum buildup and most are going to be susceptible to mold and mildew,” Jonathan says.
“And if you go three to five years without resealing your shower, you’ll start to notice that the stone is staying wet longer and it may actually start to erode. That’s why shower cleaning is one of our most popular services.”
GK’s highly trained technicians use world-class cleaning equipment and a revolutionary process to safely and gently restore clean, natural beauty to tile and grout.
GK is Grant K. Alexander, who started the business in 1994 as a part-time summer job and polished his way into a full-time profession. Along with hard surfaces, GK’s also details automobiles.
“The quality of work and our expertise of the surface materials we’re working on is where we shine,” Jonathan explains.
“When customers are happy, they tell their friends. That’s why the company continues to grow after almost 24 years. Even though our number of customers keeps increasing, we continue to do the same high-quality work. That’s how we got our reputation. We are always seeking 100% satisfaction.”
Scheduling an estimate on a hard surface cleaning or restoration project is simple and costs nothing.
“I will come out and look over your job and let you know what the options are and what it will cost,” Jonathan says.
“There is no obligation. When we’re finished with the work, we provide a booklet that tells you how to maintain your surfaces after we leave.”
