These guys will tackle everything from fireplaces, countertops, and floors to more exotic projects (the New York City subway, for example). They do repair and restoration only, working on terra-cotta, limestone, granite, tile, and marble. "We're not cheap, no matter what it is," notes co-owner Marty Hoffman, but estimates are almost always free.
