"A large part of stone care is learning how to maintain your natural stone. Taking precautions to protect your stone floors and surfaces during the hurricane season can end up saving you a lot of money. Even though Hurricane Ike was in 2008, I recently went to a home that still had extensive damage done to its marble floors. Hopefully these simple steps will help homeowners take a proactive role in preserving their home during the coming months," said Tabbah.
