When your marble walls look dull or your shower surrounds have lost their luster, proper steam cleaning makes the difference between restoration and replacement. You get back that mirror-like finish that made you fall in love with natural stone in the first place.
The right approach removes years of buildup without the thermal shock that damages your investment. Your marble stays strong, your surfaces stay sealed, and your home keeps its value. No guesswork, no shortcuts—just results that last.
We’ve been bringing Old Bethpage’s marble and stone back to life since 1998. As an owner-operator business, you work directly with the craftsman who understands your project from start to finish.
With Old Bethpage homes ranging from $600,000 Cape Cods to custom builds, we know the investment you’ve made in quality materials. That’s why we specialize in the challenging projects others avoid—the historic floors, the complex restorations, the marble that’s seen decades of life.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we’ve built our reputation on taking the worst floors and making them the best part of your home.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition, checking for existing damage, sealer integrity, and the best approach for your specific stone type. Every marble surface tells a different story, and we listen before we act.
Our steam cleaning process uses controlled temperatures and proper technique to remove buildup without causing thermal shock or spalling. We use lower-temperature steam methods that are safer for natural stone, protecting your investment while achieving deep cleaning results.
After cleaning, we inspect, seal when needed, and give you the maintenance guidance that keeps your marble looking great between professional services. You get transparency at every step and direct communication throughout the entire process.

Your steam cleaning service includes marble wall restoration, shower wall restoration, backsplash repair, and our specialty—historic floor restoration. We also handle concrete restoration and polishing, giving you one expert for all your stone needs.
Old Bethpage homes typically feature larger lots with properties built after 1950, many incorporating beautiful natural stone elements that need specialized care. Whether it’s a mid-century marble installation or a recent renovation, we understand the local architecture and the materials that make these homes special.
Each service comes with free consultation, transparent pricing, and the peace of mind that comes from working with an established local business. We’re not just cleaning your marble—we’re preserving a piece of your home’s character and your family’s investment.
Steam cleaning can be harmful to marble, granite, and other natural stone due to thermal expansion and contraction. However, when done correctly with proper temperature control and technique, it’s one of the most effective cleaning methods available.
We use specialized low-temperature steam methods specifically designed for natural stone. Home steam cleaners reach about 250°F while commercial units can exceed 300°F—we control our equipment to stay within safe ranges for your marble. The key is understanding your stone’s composition, existing condition, and using the right approach for each surface.
Bathroom marble walls should be professionally cleaned and disinfected every 6 months, with re-honing when etching or scratches appear. The frequency depends on usage, ventilation, and the size of your bathroom.
Steam from showers contains water particles, hygiene product residue, and organisms that accumulate on marble surfaces, making them dull and creating environments for mold growth. Regular professional cleaning prevents this buildup from becoming permanent damage. Smaller bathrooms with poor ventilation may need attention more frequently, while larger, well-ventilated spaces can often go longer between services.
Steam cleaning removes deep-seated contaminants, organic buildup, and sanitizes your marble surfaces without harsh chemicals. Polishing restores the surface finish and shine but doesn’t address embedded dirt or biological growth.
Think of steam cleaning as deep maintenance that prepares your marble for polishing. Steam cleaning kills around 99.99% of bacteria without toxic chemicals, making it ideal for bathroom and kitchen applications. After proper steam cleaning, polishing becomes more effective because we’re working with truly clean stone. Many surfaces need both services—steam cleaning for health and cleanliness, polishing for appearance and protection.
Yes, in most cases we can repair damage from improper steam cleaning, though prevention is always better than repair. Steam damage can cause spalling, where high temperatures create pressure within the stone leading to pitting and flaking.
We assess the extent of damage first. If cracks have expanded from steam heat and pressure, we can often repair them, though severely damaged areas may require more extensive restoration. Steam damage to grout includes discoloration and cracking, plus removal of protective sealers—all of which we can address. The key is acting quickly before surface damage becomes structural problems.
Historic floor restoration is actually our specialty—the older and more challenging, the better. Old Bethpage is home to the Village Restoration with 18 authentically restored historic buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, so we understand the importance of preserving historical integrity.
Many of the older homes in Old Bethpage feature original marble installations that need specialized care. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, and we take pride in bringing century-old floors back to life. Whether it’s original marble from the early 1900s or mid-century installations, we have the experience and techniques to restore historical beauty while maintaining structural integrity.
Pricing depends on square footage, marble condition, and the scope of work needed. We always provide free consultations and transparent quotes before any work begins—no surprises, no hidden costs.
Professional restoration can save thousands compared to replacement—one client avoided a $12,000 bathroom remodel through our restoration services. Properly restored marble can increase your property value by up to 25%, making it an investment in your home’s worth, not just its appearance. We’ll walk through your specific situation during the consultation and explain exactly what’s included in your service.
