Your marble walls and shower surfaces face constant exposure to moisture, soap buildup, and mineral deposits. The wrong cleaning approach can cause permanent damage through thermal shock and surface etching.
Our restoration process eliminates stains, soap scum, and mineral buildup without the risks that come with steam cleaning. You get surfaces that look new again, protected with proper sealing, and maintained using methods that preserve your stone for decades.
No guesswork. No damage. Just results that protect your property value and give you confidence in every surface.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring natural stone surfaces across Long Island since 1998. We specialize in the challenging work that other companies avoid – historic floors, complex materials, and surfaces that need real expertise.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman handling your project. No subcontractors, no miscommunication, just direct accountability from start to finish.
Napeague’s historic properties and high-end homes require contractors who understand both the technical demands and the investment you’ve made. We’ve earned our reputation by treating every surface like it belongs in our own home.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble surfaces, identifying the specific issues affecting your stone. Hard water deposits, soap scum, and etching each require different approaches.
Our restoration process uses diamond grinding and polishing techniques – not steam – to safely remove damage without thermal shock. We clean deep into the stone’s pores, repair any chips or cracks, and remove stains that have been building for years.
The final step involves professional sealing that creates a protective barrier against future damage. Your surfaces are ready for use the next day, looking better than when they were first installed, and protected against the moisture and wear that originally caused the problems.

Every marble restoration project includes deep cleaning, stain removal, and professional polishing to restore the original luster. We repair chips, cracks, and etch marks that have developed over time.
For Napeague properties, we pay special attention to the salt air and moisture challenges that affect coastal homes. Your marble backsplashes, shower walls, and flooring face unique environmental stresses that require specific treatment approaches.
Our process includes re-grouting where needed, proper sealing with marine-grade products, and detailed cleanup that leaves your space ready for immediate use. You receive care instructions and a maintenance schedule designed specifically for Long Island’s coastal environment.
Steam cleaning is actually harmful to marble and other natural stone surfaces. The high temperatures cause thermal expansion and contraction that can create cracks, spalling, and surface damage.
Steam also forces moisture deep into the stone’s pores, potentially causing discoloration and structural problems over time. Many homeowners try steam cleaning thinking it’s gentler, but it often causes more damage than harsh chemicals.
We use diamond restoration techniques and pH-neutral cleaners that safely remove buildup without thermal shock or chemical etching. Your marble gets truly clean without the risks that come with steam methods.
Marble shower walls should be professionally cleaned and disinfected every 6-12 months, with full restoration needed every 2-3 years depending on use and water quality.
Napeague’s coastal environment creates additional challenges with salt air and humidity that accelerate wear on natural stone. Hard water deposits build up faster, and the constant moisture creates ideal conditions for mold and bacteria growth.
Regular professional maintenance prevents the deep damage that requires expensive restoration. We can set up a maintenance schedule that keeps your surfaces looking great while protecting your investment long-term.
Yes, we specialize in removing hard water deposits and mineral stains that regular cleaners can’t touch. These white, chalky buildups are common on Long Island due to our mineral-rich water supply.
The key is using the right technique for your specific stone type. Marble requires different treatment than granite or limestone. We use specialized compounds and diamond polishing that remove the deposits without etching the surface.
Most hard water stains can be completely eliminated, though severely etched areas may need refinishing. We’ll assess your specific situation and explain exactly what’s possible before starting any work.
Most marble shower restorations take 1-2 days to complete, with your shower ready for use the following day. The timeline depends on the size of the area and the extent of damage we’re addressing.
We work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards that protect your investment. Our process includes proper ventilation and dust control, so the rest of your home stays clean during the work.
For larger projects or severe damage, we’ll provide a detailed timeline upfront. We understand you need your bathroom functional, so we plan every project to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and buildup, while restoration actually repairs damage and brings back the stone’s original appearance. Many cleaning companies use harsh chemicals that can etch marble, creating more problems than they solve.
True restoration involves diamond grinding to remove scratches and etching, professional polishing to restore luster, and proper sealing to prevent future damage. It’s a complete renewal of the stone’s surface and protection.
If your marble looks dull, has visible scratches, or shows water spots that won’t come off with regular cleaning, you need restoration. We can assess your surfaces and recommend the right level of service for your specific situation.
Historic properties are actually our specialty. We’ve been working on century-old floors and complex restoration projects since 1998, including properties featured in the NY Times for our restoration work.
Historic marble often requires special techniques and materials that modern contractors don’t understand. We know how to work with older stone, unusual installation methods, and the unique challenges that come with preserving original materials.
Whether it’s original marble flooring, vintage bathroom fixtures, or period-appropriate backsplashes, we have the expertise to restore historic surfaces while maintaining their authenticity and character.
