The Owner
Intex Surface Solutions was founded in 2013, but my experience with natural stone began long before that. I started working in the stone industry as a teenager, spending my summers installing marble tile with one of Toronto’s established stone installation companies. As I gained experience, I moved into slab installation, bookmatching and design at the fabrication stage, working through a period when large-format natural stone installations were becoming increasingly prominent throughout the GTA.
I later apprenticed with an Italian stone restoration specialist, where I learned the core skills of grinding, honing, polishing and repair. When I eventually ventured out on my own, I continued refining those techniques and developing a restoration process that was cleaner, more controlled and better suited to working inside finished homes.
Wherever practical, we use wet grinding and refinishing methods to control dust and reduce reliance on harsher chemical processes. Although wet restoration can be more labour-intensive, it greatly reduces airborne dust and helps keep the surrounding home clean throughout the work. Protecting the client’s space has become as important to our process as the restoration itself.
I take great pride in the work we do and remain personally involved in our projects. If you would like to discuss an upcoming stone restoration project, you can reach me directly through the contact form below or through our Contact Us page.
