High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been serving Inwood, NY since 1998. We’re not another cleaning company trying to figure out stone restoration on your dime.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the expert who’s been featured in the New York Times for restoration work. We specialize in the kind of complex, historic projects that other companies won’t touch.
Inwood’s rich architectural history means many homes feature original marble and stone work from the early 1900s. We understand these materials and how to restore them properly without causing damage.
First, we assess your marble walls, shower surfaces, or backsplash to understand what type of restoration is needed. Not all marble damage is the same, and the wrong approach can make things worse.
We use professional-grade steam cleaning equipment that operates at controlled temperatures. Unlike home steam cleaners that can cause thermal shock and cracking, our methods are specifically designed for natural stone.
The process includes deep cleaning to remove soap scum, hard water deposits, and stains, followed by proper sealing to protect against future damage. We also repair any existing chips, cracks, or etching during the restoration process.

Your restoration includes complete cleaning of marble walls, shower surfaces, and backsplash areas using safe steam cleaning techniques. We remove years of buildup without damaging the stone.
Inwood homes often feature original marble installations that require specialized care. Many of these surfaces haven’t been properly maintained, leading to etching from acidic cleaners or damage from improper steam cleaning attempts.
We also provide crack repair, stain removal, and professional sealing to protect your investment. The goal is marble that looks new and stays beautiful with simple maintenance.
Professional steam cleaning is safe when done correctly with the right equipment and temperatures. The problem is that most home steam cleaners operate at temperatures over 250 degrees, which can cause thermal expansion and cracking in natural stone.
Our professional equipment uses controlled steam temperatures specifically calibrated for marble and natural stone. We avoid the thermal shock that causes spalling, where high heat creates pressure within the stone leading to surface pitting and flaking.
DIY steam cleaning or hiring companies that don’t specialize in stone restoration often results in permanent damage that’s expensive to repair. That’s why we only use stone-safe methods that clean effectively without compromising your marble’s integrity.
Soap scum and hard water deposits require specialized removal techniques because marble is sensitive to acidic cleaners that most people try to use. These acidic products actually etch the marble surface, creating permanent dull spots.
We use pH-neutral cleaners combined with controlled steam cleaning to break down and remove buildup without damaging the stone. For stubborn mineral deposits, we have restoration techniques that can remove them while preserving the marble’s finish.
The key is understanding that marble is calcium carbonate, which reacts with acids. Our process removes the deposits while protecting the underlying stone, then we seal the surface to prevent future buildup from adhering as easily.
Yes, dull and stained marble backsplash can usually be restored to its original appearance. The dulling is often caused by etching from acidic substances or improper cleaning products, while stains typically come from oils, wine, or other liquids that have penetrated the stone.
Our restoration process includes removing surface etching through controlled polishing, extracting deep stains using specialized techniques, and restoring the marble’s natural shine. For backsplash areas, we pay special attention to grout lines and edges where buildup commonly occurs.
Most homeowners are surprised at how dramatically their backsplash can be transformed. What looks like it needs replacement often just needs proper professional restoration to bring back that rich, elegant appearance that makes the whole kitchen look better.
Most marble wall restoration projects take 1-2 days depending on the size of the area and extent of damage. Shower walls typically take a full day, while smaller backsplash areas might be completed in 4-6 hours.
The timeline includes cleaning, any necessary repairs like crack filling or chip repair, polishing to restore shine, and sealing to protect the surface. We work efficiently but never rush the process because proper restoration can’t be hurried.
After completion, you’ll need to wait 24-48 hours before the sealer fully cures and the surface can handle normal use. We provide specific care instructions to ensure your restoration lasts as long as possible.
Regular cleaning companies typically don’t understand the specific requirements of natural stone and often cause damage with inappropriate products or techniques. Many use harsh chemicals or high-temperature steam that can permanently etch or crack marble.
We specialize exclusively in natural stone restoration with nearly 30 years of experience. Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with an expert who understands the chemistry and proper care of marble, not a technician following a generic cleaning protocol.
The difference shows in the results. We restore marble to its original condition and provide proper sealing and maintenance guidance to keep it beautiful. Most cleaning companies just clean the surface without addressing underlying damage or protecting against future problems.
Yes, we stand behind our restoration work because we use proper techniques and professional-grade materials. Our experience since 1998 and owner-operator involvement means we take personal responsibility for every project’s outcome.
The specific warranty depends on the type of work performed, but we guarantee that our restoration will significantly improve your marble’s appearance and that our sealing will provide proper protection when maintained according to our guidelines.
We also provide clear maintenance instructions and are available for questions after the work is complete. Our goal is a long-term relationship where your marble stays beautiful for years, not just a one-time service call.
