Your marble walls, shower surfaces, and backsplashes will look like they did when first installed. No more dull, discolored stone or stubborn buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch.
Our professional steam cleaning reaches deep into marble’s pores, extracting embedded dirt and eliminating harmful bacteria without harsh chemicals. You’ll see vibrant color returning, natural luster restored, and surfaces that feel genuinely clean.
Our process addresses the unique challenges marble faces in Island Park’s coastal environment, where salt air and humidity can accelerate deterioration if not properly managed.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring Long Island’s most challenging historic surfaces since 1998. We specialize in the complex restoration work that others avoid – the older and more damaged the marble, the better we perform.
Featured in the New York Times for our expertise with antique materials, we understand what Island Park’s historic homes demand. Your century-old marble gets the same careful attention whether it’s in a grand foyer or a vintage bathroom.
As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the craftsman doing the restoration. No sales teams or subcontractors – just honest expertise and results that preserve your home’s character.
Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your marble’s condition, age, and any existing damage that requires special handling. We use professional-grade steam equipment specifically calibrated for natural stone – not the high-heat commercial units that can cause thermal damage.
Steam is applied at precisely controlled temperatures to penetrate marble’s pores, dissolving embedded contaminants and killing bacteria without thermal shock. Special attention goes to grout lines, sealed areas, and any vulnerable spots identified during assessment.
After cleaning, surfaces are properly dried and inspected for any issues that might need additional attention. You’ll receive specific care instructions and sealing recommendations to protect your investment long-term.

Steam cleaning is part of comprehensive marble restoration that addresses the full scope of what your surfaces need. This includes shower walls, backsplashes, decorative elements, and any marble surfaces throughout your historic home.
Island Park’s location creates specific challenges for marble preservation. Salt air penetrates homes, humidity fluctuates with weather patterns, and the freeze-thaw cycles can stress older installations. Our restoration approach accounts for these local environmental factors.
You’ll understand exactly what’s being done and why, plus receive maintenance guidance tailored to your specific marble type and Island Park’s coastal conditions. Our focus is on preservation that lasts decades, not just immediate cleaning results.
Professional steam cleaning is safe for antique marble when performed with proper equipment and expertise. The critical factor is using controlled temperatures and pressure specifically calibrated for historic natural stone, not the high-heat settings that can cause irreversible damage.
We use equipment designed specifically for historic surfaces. We understand that century-old marble often has different porosity, composition, and existing stress patterns than modern stone, requiring adjusted techniques and extra care.
Our process actually helps preserve antique marble by removing harmful accumulations that cause long-term deterioration, while avoiding the acidic chemicals that many cleaning methods rely on and that can etch historic surfaces.
Most marble shower walls and frequently used surfaces benefit from professional steam cleaning every 6-12 months, depending on water hardness, usage patterns, and maintenance between cleanings. Island Park’s coastal environment may require more frequent attention due to salt exposure and humidity fluctuations.
The optimal frequency depends on your marble’s current condition, sealing status, and the specific challenges your home faces. Well-maintained, properly sealed marble might only need annual service, while compromised or unsealed surfaces often need more frequent professional care.
During our initial assessment, you’ll receive a customized maintenance schedule based on your marble type, household usage, and the specific environmental factors affecting your Island Park property.
Our professional steam cleaning excels at removing mineral deposits, soap scum, and hard water stains that have resisted regular cleaning efforts. The heated steam penetrates deep into marble’s porous structure, dissolving accumulations that have built up over years or even decades.
However, some severe etching, deep staining, or structural damage may require additional restoration techniques beyond steam cleaning alone. That’s why our process begins with comprehensive assessment to determine what combination of treatments will deliver the best results for your specific situation.
Our goal extends beyond removing current problems to understanding their root causes, so you can prevent future damage through proper maintenance, sealing, and care techniques appropriate for your marble type.
Our professional steam cleaning should not damage properly installed, well-maintained grout when performed with appropriate pressure and temperature settings. The key is understanding different grout types, their age, and current condition before beginning the cleaning process.
Older grout installations, especially in historic homes, may be more vulnerable if they’re already compromised, cracked, or poorly sealed. We identify these conditions during our initial assessment, and modify cleaning techniques accordingly to prevent further damage.
If grout repair, replacement, or resealing is needed, we discuss that upfront with clear explanations of why it’s necessary and how it fits into the overall restoration plan for your marble installation.
Our professional equipment offers precise temperature and pressure controls calibrated specifically for natural stone preservation. Rental units are designed for general cleaning applications and typically operate at temperatures that can damage marble through thermal shock and expansion stress.
Experience makes an even bigger difference than equipment. Recognizing how different marble types respond to treatment, identifying potential problems before they become damage, and understanding Island Park’s specific environmental challenges – these skills develop over decades of specialized work.
Our professional service includes proper surface preparation, appropriate technique selection, and post-cleaning care that ensures lasting results rather than temporary appearance improvement that may actually compromise your marble’s long-term condition.
Our complete process typically requires 2-4 hours depending on the area being treated and the condition of your marble. It begins with careful preparation – moving furniture, protecting surrounding surfaces, and conducting final condition assessment before any cleaning begins.
During active cleaning, you’ll hear professional equipment operating and may notice increased humidity, but proper ventilation and containment prevent moisture problems. We work systematically to ensure thorough treatment while maintaining appropriate drying time between areas.
After completion, treated surfaces need adequate drying time before normal use resumes. You’ll receive detailed instructions for immediate post-treatment care and ongoing maintenance recommendations specific to your marble type and Island Park’s coastal environment.
