Your marble tells the story of Miller Place’s rich history. When etching from daily use dims that natural shine, or when decades of wear leave your surfaces looking tired, steam cleaning restoration brings back the elegance that made you fall in love with your home.
Steam cleaning removes deep stains, eliminates etching, and restores the mirror-like finish your marble once had. You get the beauty of new marble without the cost or hassle of replacement.
The result? Floors that reflect light beautifully again, surfaces that feel smooth to the touch, and the satisfaction of preserving your home’s historic character for years to come.
We’ve been restoring Miller Place’s historic marble since 1998. We understand the unique challenges of working with century-old materials in homes dating back to the 1720s.
As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the craftsman doing the work. No middlemen, no subcontractors, just expertise you can trust.
We were featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, and we’ve built our reputation on bringing the worst floors back to life. The older and more challenging the project, the better we like it.
First, we assess your marble’s condition and identify problem areas like etching, staining, or wear patterns. Every surface tells us what it needs.
Our steam cleaning process starts with deep cleaning to remove embedded dirt and stains. We use professional-grade equipment that penetrates the marble without damaging the stone structure.
Next comes the restoration phase where we address scratches, etching, and dull spots using diamond compounds and specialized techniques. Finally, we polish and seal the surface to protect against future damage.
You can expect the entire process to be completed efficiently with minimal disruption to your daily routine. We protect surrounding areas and clean up completely when finished.

Steam cleaning works on all marble applications in your Miller Place home. Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, shower walls, backsplashes, and flooring all benefit from our restoration process.
Miller Place’s historic homes often feature original marble installations that require specialized care. We understand how to work with these vintage materials without compromising their integrity or historic value.
Our services include marble wall restoration, shower wall restoration, backsplash marble cleaning, and marble wall repair throughout Long Island. We also offer concrete restoration and polishing for properties with mixed natural stone features.
Each project receives a free consultation where we explain exactly what we’ll do and provide transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Steam cleaning uses heated water vapor to penetrate deep into marble pores, lifting embedded stains and dirt that regular cleaning can’t reach. Unlike harsh chemical cleaners that can etch marble surfaces, steam cleaning is completely safe for natural stone.
The process works by loosening contaminants at the molecular level, allowing us to remove years of buildup without abrasive scrubbing. This is especially important for Miller Place’s historic marble, where preservation of the original surface is crucial.
Regular cleaning methods often just move dirt around or, worse, cause additional etching with acidic products. Steam cleaning actually restores the marble’s natural beauty while protecting its integrity.
Yes, we specialize in repairing etch damage caused by acidic substances like lemon juice, vinegar, or harsh household cleaners. These create dull, white spots that make marble look cloudy and uneven.
Our restoration process involves carefully honing away the damaged surface layer, then polishing with progressively finer diamond compounds to restore the marble’s natural shine. For deeper etching, we may need to use more aggressive techniques, but we always preserve as much original material as possible.
This type of damage is common in Miller Place’s older homes where marble has been cleaned with inappropriate products over the years. The good news is that most etch damage can be completely eliminated with proper restoration techniques.
Most residential marble restoration projects in Miller Place take between 4-8 hours, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. Kitchen countertops typically require 3-4 hours, while full bathroom restoration might take 6-8 hours.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. For larger projects like historic foyer floors, we may schedule work over multiple days to ensure thorough restoration without rushing the process.
The timeline depends on factors like the extent of damage, the type of marble, and whether we’re doing simple steam cleaning or full restoration with honing and polishing. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate during your free consultation.
Steam cleaning is safe for virtually all marble types, including the varieties commonly found in Miller Place’s historic homes like Carrara, Calacatta, and domestic marbles from the early 1900s. We adjust our techniques based on the specific stone characteristics.
Before starting any work, we test our process on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility. Different marbles have different hardness levels and porosity, so we customize our approach accordingly.
Historic marble often requires more gentle handling than modern installations, and our experience with century-old materials ensures we use appropriate pressure and temperature settings. We’ve successfully restored marble in homes dating back to the 1720s without any damage to the original stone.
After restoration, we seal your marble with professional-grade sealers that protect against staining and etching. With proper care, you can expect 2-3 years before needing professional maintenance again.
Daily maintenance is simple: use pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone, wipe up spills immediately, and avoid acidic substances like citrus or vinegar. We provide specific care instructions based on your marble type and usage patterns.
For high-traffic areas or surfaces that see heavy use, we recommend annual professional cleaning and resealing every 2-3 years. Miller Place’s coastal environment can affect marble differently than inland areas, so we factor in local conditions when making maintenance recommendations.
Yes, we provide emergency response for urgent marble restoration needs in Miller Place. Water damage, chemical spills, or physical damage to marble surfaces require immediate attention to prevent permanent staining or etching.
We understand that accidents happen, especially in busy households. Our owner-operated approach means you can reach us directly for urgent situations, and we’ll prioritize emergency calls to minimize damage to your marble surfaces.
For true emergencies, we can often provide same-day or next-day service. Time is critical with marble damage – the sooner we can begin restoration, the better the final results will be. Don’t wait if you’ve had a significant spill or accident on your marble surfaces.
