Older marble, usually worth restoring
- Sommerville Park was completed in 1978, about 48 years ago. Homes of this age often have original marble or crazy-paving marble chips in the living areas.
- Expect dullness, deep walkway scratches, etching, yellowing and some uneven tile edges. Grinding, honing and polishing usually bring it back.
- Old marble is often thicker and better quality than newer thin tiles, and restoring it costs a fraction of replacing it.
