Your marble surfaces represent a significant investment in your home’s beauty and value. When done correctly, professional restoration doesn’t just fix what’s broken—it transforms tired, damaged marble back to its original elegance.
Well-preserved stone enhances your home’s beauty and raises property value exponentially. You’ll walk into rooms that feel fresh and luxurious again, with surfaces that catch the light properly and showcase the natural beauty you originally fell in love with.
No more avoiding certain areas of your home because the marble looks dull or stained. No more wondering if you should just rip everything out and start over. The right restoration approach saves you thousands while giving you results that last.
We’ve been restoring marble and historic floors since 1998, with the owner directly involved in every project. This isn’t a franchise operation or a company that subcontracts your work to whoever’s available.
Mattituck and the North Fork area are home to many circa 1900 farmhouses and historic properties that require specialized restoration expertise. We were even featured in a New York Times article in 2001, highlighting our expertise in bringing historic materials back to life.
The worse your marble looks, the better the opportunity to showcase what proper restoration can accomplish. Direct communication throughout the project means you always know what’s happening and why.
Most people don’t realize that steam cleaning can cause spalling, where high temperatures create pressure within porous stone, leading to pitting and surface flaking. Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition and composition.
We inspect surfaces to identify damage, stains, scratches, and wear, then use specialized cleaners to remove contaminants. For repairs, we use precisely color-matched epoxy to restore original smoothness.
Depending on the stone’s condition, various techniques including honing, grinding, polishing, or buffing remove scratches, stains, and etches to restore the stone’s shine, followed by protective sealing. Our entire process is designed to work with your marble’s natural properties, not against them.

Our comprehensive restoration includes floor and wall polishing, cleaning and disinfecting, re-caulking, re-grouting, grout patching, mold and mildew removal, stain removal, hard water buildup removal, and erosion repairs. This covers everything from shower walls to kitchen backsplashes to decorative marble installations.
Since 2006, we’ve been repairing and restoring natural stone countertops, floors, stairs, and walls for Mattituck property owners, with professionally trained technicians who are masters in stone repair. Whether you need granite chip repair, marble floor sealing, or stone wall restoration, our approach is always tailored to the specific material and damage.
99% of all work can be done on-premises and dust-free, so you don’t have to worry about major disruption to your daily routine while getting professional results.
Steam cleaning can cause spalling on marble, where high temperatures create pressure within the porous stone, leading to pitting and surface flaking. Using handheld steam cleaners on stone countertops or shower walls can result in the same damage as larger, higher temperature steam cleaners.
Professional marble restoration uses specialized, stone-safe cleaning methods that remove contaminants without the risk of thermal damage. We recommend using pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaners for routine cleaning and letting stone restoration professionals handle intensive cleaning. This protects your investment while achieving better, longer-lasting results than DIY steam cleaning attempts.
Those white or light dull spots are called etches, caused by highly acidic or alkaline substances like lemon juice, vinegar, and most household cleaners that burn the marble and leave unsightly marks with uneven sheen. If you have white Carrara marble, rust stains are common because the stone contains metallic particles, and over time water penetrates the surface and rusts these metallic components.
Professional etch removal involves polishing affected areas to restore smooth, uniform appearance, with deeper grinding and honing for more serious burns to achieve spotless shine. The key is addressing these issues before they become permanent damage that’s impossible to reverse.
If foreign substances aren’t removed quickly from marble surfaces, especially liquids, they enter the pores and create permanent stains that can’t be removed with ordinary cleaners. However, almost without exception, marble surfaces can be restored to their original condition and shine.
Even antique marble that appears too dirty or cracked can be restored using sympathetic approaches that retain aged essence while looking well-kept, using gentle methods that respect the item’s history and enhance beauty without compromising antique value. We can assess your specific situation to determine the best restoration approach.
Marble and natural stone restoration is a highly skilled job, as stone can be ruined very easily by inexperienced work, with many cleaning companies using extremely harsh abrasives and acids that destroy stone. Hard abrasives like Comet, Ajax, cleaning pads, steel wool, and certain chemicals can cause serious damage, discoloration, or dullness, and products like Clorox, hydrogen peroxide, Drano, or paint strippers should never be used.
Professional restoration uses specialized equipment, techniques, and products designed specifically for natural stone. We use the latest equipment, techniques, and products throughout the process to ensure marble is restored to original beauty. The investment in professional work protects your marble from damage while achieving results that last for years.
For marble bathroom walls, professional cleaning and disinfecting should occur every 3 to 12 months, re-sealing every 3 to 12 months, re-honing whenever etching or scratches appear, and re-polishing every 12 to 18 months. Steam from showers contains water particles and personal hygiene products that create harmful chemical accumulation and living organisms on marble, making stone look dull, discolored, or creating perfect environments for mold growth.
Daily maintenance is important because residues from soaps and body washes, plus minerals from hard water, can damage stone surfaces. Regular professional maintenance prevents major restoration needs and preserves your investment long-term.
We use sympathetic restoration to ensure antique marble retains its aged essence while looking well-kept, using gentle washing and mild abrasives to control scrubbing levels and respect the item’s history while enhancing beauty without compromising antique value. Mattituck’s circa 1900 North Fork farmhouses offer rare chances to revive historic pieces and create something truly special while restoring original character.
Historic architecture, characterized by pre-war buildings and classic structures, often features marble in foyers, staircases, and bathrooms, and our restoration services preserve historical integrity while enhancing timeless appeal. Our goal is always to honor the original craftsmanship while ensuring the marble functions beautifully for years to come.
