You’re not just getting cleaned surfaces. You’re getting marble that looks like it was installed yesterday, shower walls that shine without streaks, and backsplash marble that holds its beauty for decades to come.
Your neighbors will ask what you did. Your guests will notice the difference immediately. Most importantly, you’ll stop worrying about whether that expensive marble was worth the investment.
The difference between our steam cleaning process and what most companies call “cleaning” is the difference between restoration and maintenance. We don’t just remove dirt—we remove years of accumulated damage that’s been dulling your stone’s natural beauty.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has spent over 25 years specializing in the kind of restoration work that makes other companies nervous. The worse your stone looks, the better we like the challenge.
We’re the company that gets called when Atlantic Beach homeowners discover their “ruined” marble can actually be saved. We’re owner-operated, which means you’re working directly with craftsmen who’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise.
Your historic home deserves someone who understands what those old materials need. Atlantic Beach’s coastal environment creates unique challenges—salt air, humidity, and temperature fluctuations that affect stone differently than inland properties. We’ve been working in Nassau County long enough to know exactly how these factors impact your marble and how to address them properly.
First, we assess what we’re actually dealing with. Not all marble damage is the same, and cookie-cutter approaches destroy more stone than they save. We examine your specific stone type, age, and the particular damage patterns common to Atlantic Beach’s coastal environment.
We start with our specialized steam cleaning process that penetrates deep into the stone structure, pulling out stains and mineral buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch. This isn’t the surface-level steam cleaning you’ve seen before—we’re using industrial-grade equipment designed specifically for natural stone restoration.
Then comes the precision restoration work. We repair chips using color-matched compounds, fill cracks with structural integrity, and remove etching damage through controlled diamond grinding. Finally, we seal everything with marine-grade products that can handle Atlantic Beach’s humidity levels. The whole process is dust-free and done on-site, usually completed within one to two days depending on scope.

This isn’t just steam cleaning. You’re getting complete marble wall repair, backsplash marble restoration, and shower wall restoration that addresses the root problems causing your stone to deteriorate, not just the visible symptoms.
Atlantic Beach homes built in the early 1900s have unique stone that requires specific techniques most companies don’t understand. We know how the coastal humidity affects different types of marble, why certain cleaning products have been etching your surfaces for years, and how to restore stone that’s been damaged by decades of well-meaning but incorrect maintenance.
We also handle concrete restoration and polishing—a service most marble companies won’t touch but that’s becoming essential for historic properties that mix different materials. Every project includes proper sealing with products designed for Long Island’s climate, plus detailed maintenance guidance so you’re not dealing with the same problems again in two years. Our work comes with our craftsmanship guarantee because we’ve been perfecting these techniques since 1998.
Regular marble cleaning only addresses surface dirt and grime. Our steam cleaning process penetrates the stone’s porous structure to remove deep stains, mineral deposits, and salt residue that accumulates in coastal environments like Atlantic Beach.
Most cleaning companies use chemicals that actually damage marble over time, especially the acidic products that cause etching. Our controlled steam process uses precise temperature and pressure to clean without weakening the stone structure or causing chemical damage.
The result is marble that doesn’t just look clean—it looks restored to its original condition. You’ll see colors and veining patterns that have been hidden under years of buildup, plus we address the underlying issues that caused the damage in the first place.
Yes, but only when steam cleaning is combined with proper restoration techniques. Steam cleaning alone won’t fix etching—that requires diamond grinding and polishing to remove the damaged surface layer and reveal healthy stone underneath.
What our steam cleaning does is prepare the stone for restoration by removing all contaminants that would interfere with repair work. We can then address the etching, scratches, and discoloration that makes marble look “ruined” using techniques developed specifically for historic stone.
We’ve restored marble walls in Atlantic Beach homes where homeowners were ready to demolish and replace entirely. The key is understanding what type of damage you’re dealing with—some issues that look severe are actually surface-level and respond beautifully to proper restoration.
Most residential marble wall projects take one to two days depending on the extent of damage and square footage involved. Shower wall restoration typically requires a full day since we’re dealing with more complex waterproofing and sealing requirements.
We work efficiently but never rush the restoration process. Stone work done incorrectly the first time costs significantly more to fix than doing it properly initially. We also work completely dust-free, so you don’t need to worry about protecting furniture or dealing with messy cleanup.
Timeline depends on what we discover during our initial assessment. Sometimes marble that looks terrible is actually in good structural condition and restores quickly. Other times, seemingly minor surface issues indicate deeper problems that require more extensive restoration work.
Steam cleaning is actually one of the safest restoration methods for historic marble when performed correctly. We adjust temperature, pressure, and technique based on the specific type and age of stone we’re working with.
Historic marble often has different composition and porosity than modern stone, plus Atlantic Beach’s coastal environment creates unique preservation challenges. We’ve worked on century-old marble throughout Nassau County and understand exactly how these materials respond to different restoration approaches.
The biggest risk to historic marble isn’t proper steam cleaning—it’s using modern chemical cleaners that weren’t designed for old stone, or letting salt air and humidity continue damaging unprotected surfaces. We use restoration methods that work with your stone’s original characteristics.
Steam cleaning and complete restoration typically costs 70-80% less than marble replacement. We’ve saved Atlantic Beach homeowners who were facing $12,000 to $15,000 renovation bills by restoring their existing stone instead of replacing it.
The exact investment depends on your marble’s current condition and what restoration work is needed beyond steam cleaning. We provide detailed written estimates that break down exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises or hidden costs.
Consider that replacement means demolition, disposal, new material costs, and installation—plus you lose the character and value of original stone. Restoration gives you the beauty of new marble while preserving the authenticity that adds significant value to historic Atlantic Beach properties.
We back all restoration work with our comprehensive craftsmanship guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with the results, we’ll make it right at no additional cost to you.
We also provide detailed maintenance guidance so your restored marble stays beautiful for decades. Most problems we see are caused by using wrong cleaning products or techniques—we’ll show you exactly how to care for your stone in Atlantic Beach’s coastal environment.
Our goal is marble that looks better than when it was originally installed and stays that way. We’ve been building our reputation in Nassau County since 1998, and that reputation depends on delivering results that last and customers who refer us to their neighbors.
