These are planning ranges, not an appraisal. The value figure estimates buyer-perceived appeal from restored floors — it is not a guaranteed increase in sale price or appraised value, which depend on your buyer, market, and overall home condition. Restoration cost depends on stone hardness, damage, access, and finish; Las Vegas hard water (around 278 ppm) can add stain removal and resealing. Your in-home assessment is exact and free.
How this ROI estimate works
We start from a realistic restoration cost — your square footage times a per-stone rate, adjusted for how much damage the floor has. Softer stones like marble and limestone need finer, slower diamond-grit progressions than granite, so their rates run higher. Heavy etching, deep scratches, and lippage add passes, so a heavy-condition floor costs more than a lightly dulled one.
For the value side, we deliberately stay conservative. Restored floors are a visible selling feature that typically returns at least what the work costs, and often more, through stronger perceived condition and cleaner listing photos — but the exact number depends on your buyer, your market, and the rest of the home. That's why we show a range, not a promise. If your floor is failing rather than just worn, weigh restoration against replacement in our restoration vs. replacement cost guide, then get an exact quote.
Frequently asked questions
Does restoring natural stone floors add value when selling a home?
Restored stone floors don't come with a guaranteed appraisal bump, but they are a highly visible selling feature that buyers notice on the first walkthrough. Dull, etched, or hard-water-stained floors read as deferred maintenance and invite lowball offers; a polished, sealed floor reads as a well-kept home. In practice, a restoration that costs a few thousand dollars typically returns at least its cost through stronger perceived condition, better listing photos, and fewer repair concessions. Treat any dollar figure as an estimate of buyer appeal, not a formal appraisal.
Should I restore stone floors before listing or leave it to the buyer?
For most Las Vegas homes with existing marble, travertine, granite, or limestone, restoring before listing is the stronger play. Buyers over-estimate the cost and hassle of fixing worn stone, so visible wear scares off more value than the repair actually costs. Restoration usually takes 1–2 days with no demolition, which fits inside a normal pre-listing timeline. The exception is a floor with structural failure or missing tiles, where replacement or a buyer credit may make more sense.
How much does pre-sale stone restoration cost in Las Vegas?
Pre-sale stone restoration in Las Vegas generally runs $4–$18 per square foot depending on the stone and how much damage there is — travertine and granite at the lower end, marble and terrazzo higher, with heavy etching and lippage adding cost. A 400-square-foot marble floor in moderate condition usually lands around $4,000–$5,600. Because Las Vegas tap water averages roughly 278 ppm of hardness, many floors also need hard-water-stain removal and resealing as part of the job.
