Knoll 47″ Arabescato Marble Restoration
Hello there,
I was recently thrilled to find a 47″ Knoll on Craigslist for a great price, however, the sealant on the top is a bit scratched up and yellowed in places, and there are several sizable chips along the edge. I was wondering how much it would cost to restore the tabletop including the chipped edge? Thank you.

1. Peeled, popped or chipped areas patching with clear epoxy, for the price we need to know how many affected areas should be fixed, its size and a few pictures of the table. Scratches can be removed by polishing if the deepness of scratches will allow.
Disadvantages of this repair are what the patches can be visible when you look at table reflection from different angles. Since the coat is old and it can continue yellowing due to UV rays direct contact. In some cases, this option is not possible due to the kind of epoxy they used to coat the table.
2. Entire coat removing and surface restoration to uncoated/natural marble shine finish. If the table located in areas we are serving the price can be around $800. A disadvantage of this repair is there are possible pits/chips on marble surface under the coat; Knoll made it on purpose of better epoxy adhesion to marble. But it is solvable.
3. Entire coat removing and re coating.
The disadvantage of this repair is what the new coat sometimes can appear little imperfect with some unevenness, waves or air bubbles. Price can be something around $1500.
The table can be fixed on-premises with minimum mess and dust. Also, we can pick up it and deliver (is not included in the prices) or you can find a reliable/insured moving company to ship it and pick up from us, zip 11235.
Although the laminate finishes still popular today, it has its own drawbacks, I would recommend the second option since most people have pure and uncoated marble with fewer issues.
Eugene blew us away with how fantastic our bathroom turned out. We recently moved into an apartment and were disappointed by how poorly the marble stone was kept. A friend recommended Eugene, he was very responsive and professional. You can tell he takes pride in his work. He spent two full days polishing, cleaning, caulking and grouting the entire bathroom and it looks like new. Before he left we asked for a proposal for the kitchen! I highly recommend him and would use him for every stone job we have moving forward. He is simply the best.

The first, I was impressed with how fast they got back to me after asking for a quote. Eugene was professional, fast, and keep his promises. He communicates well and it was very easy to work with him, and I was very pleased. It is very important to me that people who I work with is professional and trustworthy. I can see a long-term relationship with them and am very happy to find them. By the way I found them by looking for an answer on Houzz for my question about my furniture.

Eugene did right by us! Lowest estimate of several I received, but no corners cut. Very patient answering all my questions by email, super professional and respectful in my apartment, including thorough cleanup, and my counters look great!

Eugene was great. My contractor ruined our "travertine" floors. Our contractor used the wrong grout and my pale colored stone floors looked dirty. Eugene to the rescue! Eugene scrubbed, polished and regrouted the bathroom stone floor and it looks just the way it was meant to.
Eugene told us that the stone was really limestone. He was quiet and went straight to work. I found him to be very respectful. He saw we had new flooring in the house and took off his shoes. Class act.
We highly recommend Eugene. Now my family can finally move into our first home.

Eugene absolutely saved the day for us, and we are so grateful. With only 3 days left to move out of our BK apt, our movers cracked a priceless family heirloom marble dresser top. We were devastated! A friend of mine who does object restoration for museums gave me ABC's website, and Eugene spent a day communicating with me, and came, to our home (in a mask) the very next day and restored our marble on location and in our tight time frame. When he was finished, it was stunning, and we are beyond grateful to him. I hope I never need his services again, but I strongly recommend him to others. At the end, he even helped us correctly package the marble for our move so we didn't need to have the movers risk harming the marble again. We are so grateful to him!

Does anybody refinish and remove epoxy from a Knoll table in Washington, D.C.?
Thanks
