Stone Sealing Schedule Calculator
Wondering when to reseal? Pick your stone, tell us where it's installed and when it was last sealed, and we'll estimate your reseal interval and whether you're overdue — adjusted for Las Vegas hard water.
Recommended reseal interval
Every ~11 months
For granite in a kitchen or bathroom setting, adjusted for Las Vegas hard water (~278 ppm).
Your status
Coming up in ~2 months
You're at about 9 months since sealing, on a roughly 11-month cycle. Plan your reseal within the next month or two.
Quick check anytime
Water-drop test: place a few drops on the stone and wait 10–15 minutes. If it beads up, the sealer is holding. If it soaks in and darkens the stone, it's time to reseal.

Send us your result and we'll schedule your reseal at the right time — and confirm the exact interval for your stone with a free in-home assessment.
These are planning ranges based on typical Las Vegas stone and water conditions, not a lab measurement. Your actual interval depends on foot traffic, cleaning products, and how the stone was originally finished — the water-drop test and a free in-home assessment give you the exact answer.
How the reseal schedule works
Every stone starts with a baseline reseal interval based on how porous it is — dense quartzite and granite hold sealer far longer than soft, absorbent limestone. We then shorten that interval for where the stone lives: kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways take more spills and foot traffic than a formal living room, and outdoor patios face sun and sprinkler water. Finally, we apply a Las Vegas hard-water factor, because our roughly 278 ppm tap water leaves mineral deposits that wear sealer down faster than in most cities. For the full walkthrough, see our guide on how often to seal natural stone floors.
The calculator is a planning tool, not a lab test. The most reliable check is still the water-drop test on your actual stone. If you have marble specifically, our marble care guide covers sealing, cleaning, and etch prevention in more detail.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I reseal natural stone in Las Vegas?
It depends on the stone and where it lives. As a rule of thumb, granite goes 18 months, marble, travertine and slate about 12 months, limestone around 9 months, and dense quartzite up to 24 months. Kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways wear faster, so cut those intervals by roughly a third. Las Vegas hard water — averaging about 278 ppm — leaves mineral deposits that break down sealer sooner, so most local floors need resealing about 15% more often than the national averages you'll see quoted online.
How do I test whether my stone needs resealing?
Use the water-drop test: put a few drops of water on the stone and wait 10–15 minutes. If the water beads up or sits on top, your sealer is still working. If it soaks in and leaves a dark spot, the sealer has worn off and it's time to reseal. Do this in a few spots, since high-traffic paths and areas near sinks almost always break down first.
What happens if I don't reseal my stone on time?
Unsealed stone is porous, so spills, oils, and Las Vegas hard-water minerals soak in instead of wiping away. That leads to etching, dull spots, and stains that are far harder — and more expensive — to remove than a simple reseal would have been. On kitchen and bathroom surfaces you'll also see hard-water film build up quickly. Resealing on schedule is the cheapest insurance against staining and premature restoration.
