Your marble walls restoration covers everything needed to bring those surfaces back to life. We handle shower wall restoration, backsplash marble repair, vanity surfaces, and any marble wall repair your Fort Salonga, NY home needs.
The process includes removing all hard water stains and mineral deposits that have built up over years. We eliminate soap scum, address any etching from acidic cleaners, and restore the original shine and color. Grout gets cleaned and sealed. Caulking gets replaced where needed.
Fort Salonga homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s often have marble that’s been damaged by decades of improper cleaning. We specialize in reversing that damage and protecting your investment. Every surface gets properly sealed to prevent future staining and make maintenance easier.
Most steam cleaning is dangerous for marble, especially historic marble in Fort Salonga, NY homes. Traditional steam cleaners reach temperatures over 250°F, which causes thermal expansion and contraction that can crack, pit, or flake your marble surfaces.
We use specialized low-temperature techniques specifically designed for natural stone. Our approach removes buildup and stains without the thermal shock that damages marble. This is especially important for older marble installations where the stone may already have stress fractures from decades of settling.
If you’ve been using a regular steam cleaner on your marble, stop immediately. The damage might not be visible yet, but repeated thermal stress will eventually cause permanent problems that are expensive to repair.
Hard water stains on marble are actually mineral deposits that have bonded to the stone surface. Regular cleaners can’t remove them, and harsh bathroom cleaners will etch your marble, making the problem worse.
We use diamond polishing compounds and specialized stone restoration techniques to actually remove the damaged layer of marble where the stains have penetrated. This reveals fresh, unstained marble underneath. Then we polish it back to the original finish and seal it properly.
The key is understanding that these aren’t really “stains” you can clean off—they’re deposits that have chemically bonded with your marble. That’s why scrubbing harder or using stronger cleaners never works and usually causes more damage.
Most marble shower restorations take 1-2 days, and you can use your shower the next day. We don’t tear anything out or do major reconstruction—we restore what you already have.
Day one involves the deep cleaning, stain removal, and initial polishing. Day two covers final polishing, sealing, and detail work. We use dustless techniques and protect everything that doesn’t need work. No major disruption to your daily routine.
This is much faster than replacement, which could take weeks and cost significantly more. Plus, you keep the original marble that matches your home’s historic character instead of settling for modern substitutes that never look quite right.
Yes, we specialize in historic marble restoration and understand the finishes used in different eras. Marble from Fort Salonga, NY’s Victorian and turn-of-the-century homes typically had specific polish levels and textures that we can recreate.
We analyze your existing marble to determine the original finish, then use period-appropriate restoration techniques to match it exactly. This includes understanding how marble was quarried, finished, and installed over 100 years ago—knowledge that most restoration companies simply don’t have.
The goal is making the restored areas blend seamlessly with original sections, so you can’t tell where the restoration work was done. This attention to historical accuracy is why we get called for the most challenging historic restoration projects in the area.
Regular cleaning companies use harsh chemicals and aggressive techniques that can permanently damage marble. They treat it like any other surface, which is exactly how marble gets ruined in the first place.
We’re stone restoration specialists who understand the chemistry and structure of marble. We use diamond abrasives, specialized polishing compounds, and techniques developed specifically for natural stone. Our equipment is designed for marble restoration, not general cleaning.
Most importantly, we’re owner-operators who’ve been doing this since 1998. When something goes wrong with marble restoration, it’s expensive to fix. We stake our reputation on getting it right the first time because we’re the ones who have to stand behind the work.
Proper sealing is critical, but it’s not just about applying any sealer. Different types of marble require different sealers, and historic marble often needs specialized products that won’t change its appearance or breathing characteristics.
We use penetrating sealers that protect from within the stone rather than coating the surface. This maintains the natural look and feel while preventing water, soap, and mineral deposits from penetrating. The sealer we choose depends on your specific marble type and the conditions in your bathroom.
We also provide maintenance guidance specific to your marble and water conditions. Fort Salonga, NY’s water can be hard in some areas, so we adjust our sealing and maintenance recommendations accordingly. Proper sealing can extend the time between professional restorations from 2-3 years to 5-7 years or more.
