BIG BiG CHANGES!
By Mark Ortiz, Stone Restoration Specialist
As most of you know, businesses have to make big changes and Perfect Granite Solutions is making hers. Just as the big 'corporation', called the USA has been making big changes, small companies must do the same, yet without the tariffs. I'm very excited to tell you all about it in this newsletter. I'm asking you to see if you can help me and my partners make 2025 and 2026 a very promising season. Life, business, teenagers, the economy and the stock market, can be very unpredictable. But we are optimistic and excited with our changes, for we have been at this for a long time. Can't wait to share it with you.
"So, what are these big changes, Mark?"
OUR RESTORATION TEAM HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY
Since the early 1990's I had the opportunity to train dozens of men how to do stone restoration. Out of those trained men, 6 of them have gone to start their own stone restoration businesses, helping be a part of making stone restoration one of the most necessary services in the housing industry.
The second guy I ever trained was a very persistent and committed team player. His name is Agustine, and he's the owner of Mendoza Marble, who has created a system of stone restoration, that surpasses most guys in the industry. Agustine and I decided that together we can be the most successful team for Southern California. Providing more manpower, combined skills, and quick scheduling for all of you and your customers. Dan Viles, our project manager, continues to be an integral part of our success, and he too, will be here to make sure your job is made possible.
Our Services include:
Stone floor restoration, concrete staining, counter top restoration, residential and commercial locations. Tile, porcelain, quartz, quartzite, granite and marble maintenance and repairs.

CUSTOM FINISHING SERVICE IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP
Our custom slab finishing has and always will be the best slab honing and leathering service in southern California, and being shipped all over the western USA, and to the beautiful islands of Hawaii. I am honored to have passed on the business to my long time friends and co-workers, Edgar and Jon Guiterrez. These two guys joined me around 2008 when we first started leathering slabs. They are the most experienced slab finishers in California. Same excellent product with a new name.
The new company name is SUPREME CUSTOM STONE FINISHES. It is still at our previous location on Ball Road. Always make Supreme Custom Stone Finishing your FIRST CHOICE in honing and leathering slabs. I will always be here to help you with your custom stone finishes, and the three of us together will be here for you, helping make the best decision for your next custom stone finish project.

I RELOCATED TO COLORADO!
Four years ago, during the alleged fake pandemic debacle, my wife, Kerri and I decided this was the best time to make our move to follow our dream, and settle in one of the most beautiful states east of the Rocky Mountains. Me, being born in Alaska, and Kerri born in California, we found the perfect state with both Snow and Sun.
My new business is Ortiz Stone and Material Specialist. I am continuing the decades long skills of stone restoration and making myself available for training and consulting on all stone issues. I am available to you all week long, for all your stone care and troubleshooting problems.
I want you to visit my website today and send me a message or just say "Hi". Hit the Colorado tab and you will connect right to me.
TUFFSKIN MARBLE PROTECTION
I have had the opportunity to build a great relationship with Tuffskin Surface Protection - Nevada for many years. Founder, Frank Friedlander, and his amazing family have created a phenomenal film to prevent marble from etching. Even though there are other films copying Tuffskin, no other company has more distributors around the world then Tuffskin. I have been working side by side with Tuffskin in Southern California for over 15 years, and now my team and I are the certified Tuffskin Applicators' for Colorado, servicing Denver, Breckenridge, Vail and Aspen mountain towns. Check out my site for more information on Tuffskin Surface Protection, giving customers more opportunity to use marble for their kitchen countertops and promoting the use of "Natural" stone.
Regardless of where you are located, Tuffskin Distributors are near you.
ROCKSTAR CLEANING AND SEALING PRODUCTS
You have asked me a thousand times over, what products do I recommend. Well, I finally have that recommendation for you on my website, and I'm a proud user of Rockstar Stone Products. My passion has been to give all of you sound advice how to solve your stone issues and provide DIY tips, whether you are a homeowner or contractor.
I now provide you The Ortiz Solution to your stone problems for a small consulting charge and then direct you to all the products you will need to make that happen. Some of the products I sell, and some I provide links you can purchase elsewhere. Either way, I'm here to help solve your stone problems.
