Your Fishers Island property represents more than just a home—it’s a significant investment in one of America’s most exclusive enclaves. When marble walls, shower surfaces, and historic floors start showing their age, you’re not just dealing with cosmetic issues. You’re watching your property value potentially decline.
Professional steam cleaning and restoration brings those surfaces back to their original condition. The deep cleaning power removes years of buildup, soap scum, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t touch. Your marble regains its natural shine, your grout lines become uniform again, and your bathroom or kitchen looks like it did when first installed.
Most importantly, proper restoration protects your investment. Well-maintained natural stone can actually increase property values by up to 25%, according to the National Association of Realtors. That’s not just preservation—that’s smart property management.
We’ve been serving discerning property owners since 1998, with a focus that sets us apart: the worse the condition, the better we perform. While other contractors shy away from challenging historic restoration projects, we specialize in bringing century-old floors and complex stone surfaces back to life.
Our owner-operator approach means you get direct expertise on every project. No subcontractors, no middlemen—just experienced craftsmen who understand the unique challenges of Fishers Island’s historic properties. From prewar cottages to custom estates, we’ve worked with the architectural styles that define this exclusive community.
The Garden City Hotel has trusted us exclusively for over 16 years, and our work was featured in the New York Times in 2001. When you need restoration work that matches the sophistication of your property, you need professionals who understand both the technical demands and the discretion your investment deserves.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble surfaces, identifying the specific issues—whether it’s etching from cleaning products, mineral buildup from hard water, or general wear from decades of use. Every surface tells a story, and we read it before we begin.
Our steam cleaning technology uses controlled heat and pressure to lift contaminants without harsh chemicals that can damage historic stone. For stubborn areas, we apply targeted vapor steam cleaning that penetrates deep into porous surfaces. The process is dustless and designed to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
After cleaning, we address any repairs—crack filling, chip restoration, or grout work—using materials that match your original installation. Finally, we apply appropriate sealers to protect against future damage. You get a clear timeline upfront, direct communication throughout, and a finished result that restores your marble’s original beauty while protecting your investment for years to come.

Our steam cleaning and restoration services address the specific challenges facing Fishers Island properties. Many homes here date to the early 1900s, with original marble installations that require specialized care. We handle everything from bathroom wall restoration to kitchen backsplash renewal, shower restoration, and historic floor refinishing.
Steam condensation in bathrooms creates unique problems on the island—the humid marine environment accelerates the buildup of minerals and organic matter on marble surfaces. Our restoration process removes these accumulated deposits and restores the stone’s natural resistance to moisture damage.
For properties with original concrete elements, we also provide concrete restoration and polishing services. Whether you’re dealing with basement floors, pool areas, or exterior surfaces, we can restore and protect these investments. Each project receives the same owner-operator attention, ensuring results that match the caliber of your property and the standards of Fishers Island’s most discerning residents.
Given Fishers Island’s marine environment, we recommend professional cleaning and disinfection every 6 months for marble bathroom walls. The island’s humidity and salt air create conditions where soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic buildup accumulate faster than in typical mainland environments.
Steam condensation from daily showers contains not just water particles, but also personal care product residues and naturally occurring organisms that settle on marble surfaces. Over time, this creates the perfect environment for discoloration, etching, and even mold growth. Regular professional maintenance prevents these issues from becoming expensive restoration problems.
Between professional cleanings, avoid acidic cleaners that can etch marble surfaces. The investment in biannual professional care protects your marble’s appearance and your property’s value long-term.
When performed correctly by experienced professionals, steam cleaning is actually gentler on historic marble than traditional cleaning methods. Our controlled steam technology uses precise temperature and pressure settings that lift contaminants without the harsh chemicals that often damage century-old stone.
Historic marble installations, especially those in Fishers Island’s prewar cottages, were often installed with different techniques and materials than modern applications. We assess each surface individually, testing our approach in inconspicuous areas first. Our process accounts for the porosity, mineral composition, and age-related changes in your specific marble.
The key is understanding that historic stone often has different tolerances than modern installations. That’s why we use owner-operator oversight on every project—ensuring the craftsman working on your floors has decades of experience with similar historic properties. This approach has allowed us to successfully restore century-old floors that other contractors considered beyond repair.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and buildup, while restoration addresses structural issues like etching, scratches, and embedded stains that have become part of the stone itself. Many cleaning companies offer marble “cleaning” but lack the expertise to handle true restoration challenges.
Restoration involves grinding away damaged surface layers, honing to smooth the stone, and polishing to restore the original luster. For deeper damage, we may need to perform crack repairs, chip filling, or even partial surface reconstruction. This is skilled stonework, not just cleaning—and it’s where many contractors fail.
On Fishers Island, where properties represent significant investments, the difference matters enormously. Surface cleaning might temporarily improve appearance, but restoration actually repairs damage and protects long-term value. When you’re dealing with marble installations in million-dollar properties, you need contractors who understand the distinction and have the skills to deliver true restoration results.
A complete bathroom restoration typically takes 2-3 days, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. This includes floor restoration, wall cleaning and polishing, shower area restoration, and any necessary repair work like re-grouting or re-caulking.
The timeline depends on several factors: the extent of damage, the size of the space, and whether we’re dealing with original historic installations that require extra care. We always provide a clear schedule upfront and stick to it—respecting that your time and privacy matter, especially in a residential setting.
Day one usually involves assessment, preparation, and any necessary grinding or repair work. Day two focuses on honing, polishing, and detail work. Day three covers sealing, final polishing, and cleanup. We work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards your property deserves. Most importantly, we coordinate with your schedule to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Yes, we provide concrete restoration and polishing services specifically for historic properties. Many Fishers Island homes have original concrete elements—basement floors, pool areas, exterior walkways, and foundation elements—that benefit from professional restoration.
Historic concrete often develops surface wear, staining, and weathering that affects both appearance and structural integrity. Our restoration process can grind away damaged surface layers, repair cracks and chips, and apply polished finishes that protect against future deterioration. For exterior concrete, this is especially important given the island’s marine environment and salt exposure.
We treat concrete restoration with the same attention to historic preservation as our marble work. The goal is to restore function and appearance while maintaining the character of your property’s original construction. Whether you’re dealing with a 1920s basement floor or mid-century pool decking, we have the experience to bring these surfaces back to serviceable condition while respecting their historic context.
Our owner-operator model means you get direct expertise on every project, not subcontracted work from technicians who may lack experience with historic properties. When you call, you’re speaking directly with the craftsman who will be working on your floors—not a sales representative or project coordinator.
We specialize in challenging restoration projects that other contractors often decline. The worse the condition, the more we excel. This focus has made us the go-to choice for complex historic restorations, including properties that other companies considered beyond repair. Our track record includes 16+ years of exclusive service to high-end commercial clients and recognition in the New York Times.
Most importantly, we understand the unique requirements of Fishers Island properties. We respect the privacy and sophistication that define this community, while delivering restoration results that protect and enhance your significant property investment. You get transparent communication, predictable timelines, and craftsmanship that matches the caliber of your home.
