Your marble doesn’t have to stay dull, etched, or stained. When restoration is done right, you get surfaces that look like they did when first installed—sometimes better.
The difference goes beyond appearance. Properly restored marble is easier to clean, more resistant to future damage, and adds real value to your property. You’re not just fixing a problem; you’re protecting an investment that should last decades.
This isn’t about quick fixes or temporary solutions. It’s about bringing your stone back to a condition where regular maintenance actually works, where spills wipe away instead of leaving permanent marks, and where your marble becomes something you’re proud to show guests again.
We’ve been restoring stone surfaces since 1998, specializing in the projects other companies walk away from. The older and more challenging the marble, the better we like it.
We’re owner-operated, which means when you call, you’re talking to the person who’ll actually do the work. No middlemen, no subcontractors, no surprises. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, and we bring that same attention to detail to every Dix Hills project.
The historic homes and buildings throughout Long Island present unique restoration challenges. We understand the materials, techniques, and care required to restore marble that’s been in place for decades—or even a century—without compromising its character or integrity.
First, we assess exactly what your marble needs. Not every surface requires the same approach—shower walls face different challenges than kitchen backsplashes, and historic marble often needs specialized techniques.
We start with proper cleaning using methods that won’t damage the stone. This isn’t about blasting everything with harsh chemicals. Steam cleaning and carefully selected restoration compounds remove buildup, stains, and surface damage without etching or discoloring your marble further.
The restoration process involves grinding, honing, and polishing to the appropriate finish level. We work systematically to remove scratches, etch marks, and dullness, bringing back the original luster. Finally, we seal the surface to protect against future damage and make maintenance easier. The entire process is done on-site with minimal dust and disruption to your daily routine.

Our steam cleaning service addresses the specific challenges marble faces in Dix Hills homes. We handle everything from shower wall restoration to backsplash marble cleaning, using techniques that work with your stone’s natural properties rather than against them.
The process includes removal of hard water deposits, soap scum, and mineral buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch. We repair etch marks from acidic cleaners, restore dulled surfaces, and address scratches that make your marble look worn and aged.
For historic properties throughout Dix Hills and Long Island, we understand that preservation is as important as restoration. We use methods that respect the age and character of your marble while bringing it back to functional beauty. Each project gets a customized approach based on the specific type of marble, its condition, and how it’s used in your home.
Proper steam cleaning won’t damage marble when done by experienced professionals who understand stone properties. The key is using the right temperature, pressure, and cleaning compounds that work with marble’s natural composition.
Many people worry about steam cleaning because they’ve heard horror stories about DIY attempts or inexperienced contractors using inappropriate methods. We use controlled steam temperatures and pH-neutral cleaning solutions that remove buildup without etching the surface.
Our process has been refined over decades of working with historic and delicate marble surfaces. We’ve restored marble that’s over 100 years old using these same techniques, proving that proper steam cleaning actually preserves and protects your stone investment.
Most residential steam cleaning and restoration projects take one to three days, depending on the size of the area and the extent of damage. Simple cleaning might be completed in a few hours, while full restoration of heavily damaged surfaces requires more time.
We work efficiently but never rush the process. Each step—cleaning, repair, polishing, and sealing—needs proper time to achieve lasting results. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.
The good news is that 99% of our work is done on-site with minimal dust and disruption. You don’t need to leave your home, and we clean up thoroughly each day. Most clients are surprised at how manageable the process is compared to other types of renovation work.
Yes, we can remove most etching and water stains from marble shower walls, even damage that looks permanent. Etching occurs when acidic substances react with the marble’s calcium carbonate, creating dull spots that can’t be cleaned away with regular methods.
Our restoration process involves carefully grinding away the damaged surface layer and re-polishing to match the surrounding area. For water stains and mineral deposits, we use specialized techniques that dissolve buildup without harming the underlying marble.
The key is addressing these issues before they become too severe. Light etching and early-stage staining respond very well to professional treatment. Even heavily damaged surfaces can usually be restored, though the process may take longer and require more intensive techniques.
We’re owner-operated specialists who focus on challenging restoration projects that other companies often avoid. Since 1998, we’ve built our reputation on successfully restoring marble that others consider too damaged to save.
Our approach combines traditional restoration techniques with modern equipment and materials. We understand the specific properties of different marble types and adjust our methods accordingly. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all service—every project gets customized treatment based on the stone’s condition and your specific needs.
We also provide detailed documentation of our work and maintenance recommendations to help you preserve the results long-term. Our goal isn’t just to fix immediate problems but to set you up for easier maintenance and longer-lasting beauty from your marble surfaces.
Yes, we provide free, detailed estimates for all steam cleaning and restoration projects in Dix Hills and throughout Long Island. We’ll assess your marble’s condition, explain what needs to be done, and provide an itemized proposal usually within 24 hours.
Our estimates include a clear breakdown of the work required, timeline, and costs involved. We take time to explain the process and answer your questions so you can make an informed decision about your marble restoration.
During the estimate, we’ll also provide maintenance recommendations to help you avoid future problems and preserve the results of our work. There’s no pressure and no obligation—we want you to understand exactly what’s involved before moving forward with any restoration work.
Proper maintenance after professional restoration is straightforward but crucial for preserving your investment. We provide specific care instructions based on your marble type and how the surfaces are used in your home.
Daily maintenance involves using only pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners and wiping up spills immediately to prevent staining. Avoid common household cleaners, especially anything acidic like vinegar or citrus-based products, which can cause new etching damage.
We recommend professional maintenance visits every 12-18 months for high-use areas like showers and kitchen backsplashes, and every few years for other surfaces. Regular professional care prevents small issues from becoming major problems and keeps your marble looking its best between full restoration services.
