FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT STONE
Answer: No, this is a myth created by HGTV. We seal all stones. If they happen to get any dark rings from a glass or pot lid, call us. We can re-seal it for you in under 5 minutes! We also offer cleaners that reinforce the seal everytime you clean. Ask us about it next time you come in or call.
Question: Does OGM do "little" jobs like table tops?
Answer: We do from the smallest of small jobs, to the largest of large jobs. Give us a call, provide us the dimensions, and we can give you an estimate.
Question: Do I need a fabricator or can I do everything myself?
Answer: Stone fabrication is not a do-it-yourself project. The cutting, polishing, and installation of stone not only involves specific tools and machinery, it also requires extensive product knowledge.
Question: Is cleaning my new stone going to take long, and involve lots of expensive cleaners?

Question: It looks like there is a fossil in my stone. Is this possible?
