Your marble shower walls will look like they did the day they were installed. No more soap scum buildup, water stains, or that dull, cloudy appearance that makes your bathroom feel dated and tired.
Steam cleaning penetrates deep into the marble’s surface, removing years of accumulated grime without the harsh chemicals that can etch and damage natural stone. The process restores the original luster and creates a protective barrier that makes future cleaning easier. You’ll notice the difference immediately – surfaces feel smoother, look brighter, and water beads properly again.
You’ll walk into your bathroom and actually want to spend time there again. The transformation is immediate and lasting, especially important in Freeport’s humid coastal climate where marble surfaces face constant moisture challenges.
We’ve been restoring natural stone in Freeport since 1998. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s historic homes present, especially when it comes to preserving original marble installations that have weathered decades of use.
Freeport’s rich architectural history means many homes feature century-old marble that requires specialized care. We’ve worked on everything from Victorian-era shower surrounds to Art Deco bathroom walls, always respecting the original craftsmanship while bringing surfaces back to their intended beauty. The coastal environment adds another layer of complexity – salt air and humidity can accelerate wear on natural stone.
As an owner-operated business, we handle every project personally. No subcontractors, no rushed timelines, no corners cut. Just careful, methodical restoration work that honors both your investment and Freeport’s architectural heritage.
First, we assess your marble surfaces and test for any existing damage or etching. This tells us exactly what approach will work best for your specific stone type and condition. Different marbles respond differently to steam cleaning, and we adjust our technique accordingly.
Next comes the deep steam cleaning process itself. We use specialized equipment that generates the right temperature and pressure to lift embedded dirt and stains without damaging the marble’s structure. The steam penetrates pores that regular cleaning can’t reach, dissolving soap scum, hard water deposits, and other buildup that dulls your stone’s appearance.
After cleaning, we apply appropriate sealers to protect against future staining and make maintenance easier. The entire process typically takes one day, and you can use your shower the next morning. We handle all the prep work and cleanup, so there’s no mess left behind for you to deal with. Your marble walls restoration is complete, and the results speak for themselves.

Our steam cleaning service covers shower wall restoration, backsplash marble cleaning, vanity tops, and floor surfaces. We work with all types of natural stone including Carrara marble, travertine, and limestone commonly found in Freeport’s older homes. Each surface type requires slightly different techniques, but steam cleaning is effective on all of them.
The process includes grout cleaning and resealing, caulk replacement where needed, and minor repair work for chips or scratches. We also handle the removal of hard water deposits that are particularly common in Nassau County due to the local water conditions. Many homeowners don’t realize how much buildup accumulates over time until they see the dramatic difference professional cleaning makes.
Freeport homeowners often deal with moisture issues due to the coastal climate, which can lead to mold and mildew problems in marble showers. Our steam cleaning process addresses these concerns while preserving the integrity of your natural stone surfaces. The result is a bathroom that not only looks better but is also healthier and easier to maintain going forward.
Most Freeport homeowners benefit from professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months, depending on usage and water quality. If you notice soap scum buildup, water spots, or a dull appearance developing, it’s time for service. Don’t wait until the problem becomes severe.
The frequency also depends on your marble type and the age of your installation. Older marble in historic Freeport homes may need more frequent attention due to previous damage from improper cleaning products. We can assess your specific situation during our initial visit and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your marble looking its best without unnecessary expense.
Steam cleaning is safe for most marble types when done correctly, but the technique must be adjusted based on the specific stone. Softer marbles like Carrara require lower pressure settings, while denser stones can handle more aggressive treatment. Experience makes all the difference here.
We always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the process won’t cause any damage. Some very old or previously damaged marble may require alternative cleaning methods. That’s why our initial assessment is so important – we identify any potential issues before beginning work and adjust our approach accordingly to protect your investment.
Yes, steam cleaning is highly effective at removing hard water stains and mineral deposits that are common in Nassau County. The high-temperature steam dissolves these deposits without the need for acidic cleaners that can etch marble surfaces. It’s one of the safest and most effective methods available.
For severe buildup, we may need to combine steam cleaning with specialized marble-safe products and gentle abrasion techniques. The key is using the right approach for your specific situation. Some stains that appear to be hard water deposits are actually etching from acidic cleaners, which requires a different treatment approach entirely.
A typical bathroom steam cleaning takes 4-6 hours, including preparation, cleaning, and sealing. Larger areas or heavily soiled surfaces may require additional time. We never rush the process because proper results require patience and attention to detail.
We work efficiently but methodically. Proper steam cleaning requires allowing adequate time for the steam to penetrate and lift embedded dirt. We also factor in drying time between cleaning and sealing steps. Most homeowners can use their shower normally the next day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy use to allow sealers to fully cure.
Absolutely. Kitchen backsplash marble actually benefits greatly from steam cleaning because it accumulates grease, food particles, and cooking residue that regular cleaning can’t fully remove. The steam process is particularly effective at breaking down these stubborn deposits without damaging the stone.
We take extra precautions around electrical outlets and appliances, using specialized equipment designed for kitchen environments. The process removes years of accumulated cooking residue and restores the marble’s natural shine. Many Freeport homeowners are amazed at how much brighter their kitchen looks after professional backsplash cleaning – it’s like getting a kitchen makeover.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely happy with the results, we’ll return to address any concerns at no additional charge. Your satisfaction is what keeps us in business, and we’ve built our reputation on delivering results that exceed expectations.
We also provide guidance on proper maintenance to help preserve the results of our steam cleaning. This includes recommendations for daily cleaning products that won’t damage your marble and tips for preventing future staining. Our goal isn’t just to clean your marble once, but to help you maintain its beauty for years to come. That’s why many of our Freeport clients have been working with us for over a decade.
