International Stoneworks, Houston’s premier natural stone restoration and maintenance business, presented the session, “The Essentials of Stone Restoration” at Coverings 2014, one of the leading ceramic tile and natural stone trade fair and expos in the United States.          

Tabbah presented Thursday, May 1, 2014 from 9:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. He discussed actual stone restoration and maintenance cases that he experienced on the field over the past 32 years while running his own business. He reviewed successful cases in stone resurfacing to where audience members could apply these profitable lessons to their own businesses. Tabbah also covered challenging cases and how these difficult jobs were solved.

Known for its comprehensive speaking and education programs, Coverings 2014 served as a valuable resource for continuing education for all segments of the industry, all free of charge. Those attending Tabbah’s lecture, such as contractors, retailers, architects, builders, designers, and restoration specialists, came away with a distinct advantage over their peers. They had the opportunity to learn how to avoid the pitfalls that one can encounter in the stone restoration business. They also learned more about how to work with various customers and their expectations.

“This is my first time presenting at Coverings and I feel honored that I have been asked to present in the 2014 Education Program, especially on its 25th anniversary. I think the audience can really benefit from a course that actually covers stone restoration and maintenance cases experienced first-hand. I’ve been in business for 32 years and I have dealt with a variety of challenging jobs. I look forward to sharing this knowledge,” said Tabbah.
