Reg Pinto
(reg@marblecleaning.org)

Reg Pinto is a co-founder of MarbleCleaning.org. He began the trade of ceramic tile installation in 1978 under the guidance of his father, Bruno Pinto, out of Perth, Australia. However, Reg was always drawn to natural stone because of its unique elegance and unmatchable beauty, so in 1988, he got involved in the stone masonry trade.

Over the years he has worked in some of the most upscale homes in Perth, as well as prestigious commercial buildings throughout the city. He has worked for renowned stone companies and earned his reputation as arguably one of the most qualified stone masons in Western Australia. But he didn’t want to remain just that. He realized that inasmuch as natural stone is beautiful and highly sought, it requires special care in consideration of its natural chemical makeup. The inquiries coming in from all his customers about the maintenance requirements of the stones he had been installing became too numerous to be ignored. Reg felt the need to extend his services to include care and maintenance, so in in 2002 he founded The Stone Doctor, Pty. Ltd.

In addition to being an educator at ITCS and providing his expertise to "Ask Maurizio "™, Reg runs a successful business:
