Your marble tells a story. Whether it’s original to your historic Long Island home or a recent addition to your bathroom renovation, proper steam cleaning restoration means the difference between preserving that investment and watching it deteriorate.
Professional marble restoration can increase your property value by up to 25%. But here’s what most homeowners don’t realize: improper steam cleaning can actually harm marble, causing thermal expansion, contraction, and surface damage.
When we restore your marble walls, shower surfaces, or backsplash, you get surfaces that not only look stunning but are properly sealed and protected against future damage. Your bathroom becomes the elegant space it was meant to be, and your investment holds its value for years to come.
We’ve been serving Brentwood and Long Island since 1998, specializing in historic floor restoration and complex marble projects. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say a job can’t be done.
With Brentwood’s median home value at $416,000 and an 80.4% homeownership rate, residents understand the importance of maintaining their marble investments. Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen, not subcontractors.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we’ve built our reputation on bringing historic marble back to life while meeting modern standards for durability and safety.
First, we assess your marble’s condition and identify any existing damage or problem areas. Unlike standard cleaners that can’t handle hard water buildup or bathroom cleaners that are too aggressive for marble, we use specialized steam equipment calibrated specifically for natural stone.
Our process starts with careful preparation to protect surrounding areas. We then apply controlled steam cleaning techniques that remove soap scum, hard water deposits, and organic buildup without the thermal shock that damages marble. This isn’t the high-temperature blasting that causes spalling – it’s precision restoration.
After cleaning, we address any etching, scratches, or stains through targeted polishing and repair. Finally, we apply professional-grade sealers that protect against future damage while maintaining the stone’s natural breathability. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your restored surfaces the next day.

Your steam cleaning service includes comprehensive marble restoration for walls, floors, shower areas, and backsplashes. We handle re-grouting, re-caulking, mold removal, and stain treatment as part of the complete restoration process.
Marble’s porous nature means it can harbor colonies of microorganisms that grow rapidly if not properly maintained. Our steam cleaning process eliminates these health hazards while restoring your marble’s original beauty.
Long Island’s growing trend toward natural stone means more homeowners are investing in marble, but many don’t understand proper maintenance. Our service includes education on how to maintain your restored surfaces, plus we use dustless techniques that protect your home during the restoration process.
Professional steam cleaning is safe when done correctly, but DIY steam cleaning can damage marble. Standard steam cleaners cause thermal expansion and contraction that can create spalling, pitting, and surface damage.
We use specialized equipment with controlled temperatures and techniques developed specifically for natural stone. Our steam cleaning removes buildup without the thermal shock that damages marble. Even residential steam cleaners can cause damage if used frequently – we recommend professional cleaning a few times per year at most.
The key difference is expertise. We understand marble’s properties and adjust our approach accordingly, protecting your investment while achieving superior cleaning results.
Hard water buildup and soap scum are very tough to remove, and general surface cleaners won’t work. Most bathroom cleaners capable of removing these deposits are too aggressive for marble and will etch or discolor the surface.
Our process uses specialized compounds and controlled steam to safely dissolve mineral deposits without damaging the marble. We identify whether stains are surface buildup or deeper mineral deposits that have penetrated the stone, then apply the appropriate treatment method.
For severe cases, we may need to use gentle abrasives or targeted polishing to restore the surface after stain removal. Every situation is different, which is why we provide free evaluations to determine the best approach for your specific marble and stain conditions.
Yes, we specialize in restoring marble that’s been damaged by improper cleaning products or techniques. Many cleaning companies use harsh abrasives and acids that destroy stone, and when this happens, professional restoration can usually fix the problem, though it costs more to correct.
Etching from acidic cleaners, discoloration from harsh chemicals, and surface damage from aggressive scrubbing can typically be repaired through our restoration process. We use diamond polishing techniques and specialized compounds to rebuild the marble’s surface and restore its original finish.
The extent of restoration needed depends on how deep the damage goes. Surface etching can often be polished out completely, while deeper damage may require more extensive restoration. We assess each situation individually and provide honest recommendations about what can be achieved.
Marble shower areas should be professionally disinfected every 6-12 months due to the wet environment that breeds harmful microorganisms. This is especially important because marble’s porous nature allows microorganisms to colonize in micro-crevices where they grow rapidly.
Between professional cleanings, daily maintenance is crucial. Wipe up standing water from all surfaces and squeegee walls after daily use. Clean shower areas daily with stone-safe cleaners to prevent buildup that becomes harder to remove over time.
Professional restoration frequency also depends on water hardness, usage patterns, and how well daily maintenance is performed. Homes with very hard water or heavy shower use may need more frequent professional attention to maintain both appearance and hygiene.
Our comprehensive marble restoration includes steam cleaning, polishing, stain removal, re-grouting, re-caulking, mold removal, and sealing. We handle floor and wall polishing, cleaning and disinfecting, grout patching, hard water buildup removal, and restoration of shower shelves, niches, and benches. If necessary, we can restore or replace damaged tiles, and we apply penetrating sealers for future protection.
Complete restoration typically takes 1-2 days, you can use the bathroom the next day, and all work is done on-site with dustless techniques. We handle all cleanup.
Every project starts with a thorough assessment and free quote. We explain exactly what work is needed and why, so you understand the value of each service. Our goal is complete restoration that protects your investment and gives you years of beautiful, functional marble surfaces.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been restoring century-old floors and complex historic projects since 1998. Long Island’s upscale areas have many historic homes with architectural styles ranging from classic to contemporary, requiring restoration that respects historical elements while meeting modern standards.
Historic marble often requires different techniques than modern stone. Original installation methods, age-related wear patterns, and period-appropriate finishes all factor into our restoration approach. We understand how to preserve the authentic character of historic marble while bringing it up to modern durability and safety standards.
Our restoration ensures antique marble retains its aged essence while looking well-kept. We use gentle methods that enhance beauty without compromising historical value. Whether it’s original marble in a 1920s bathroom or Victorian-era floors, we have the expertise to restore it properly.
