- How long your company has been in this business?
- Can you supply me a few list of references?
After you are satisfied with these basic questions, you can then ask the stone restoration company to visit your building or home to personally see the extent of work and offer you an estimate first, before you ask him to schedule the restoration project.

- Have you got any membership of any professional organizations?
If you are satisfied with the answer after interviewing at 3 to 4 such contractors, you must look at their offer and decide the contractor. Don’t always consider the price as an important criterion.
A restoration company, who is going to offer the service will like to know about your budget and also about your stone. He will consider the following:
- What type(s) of stone that you have and what colour is it?
- How many months/years back, it was installed and who had installed the stone?
- He may also like to know what issues are you facing with the stone?
- Whether your stone has any coating on it?
- Approximately what is the approximate size of the area that you want to restore?
- In which area of town, the building or home is located?
