Your marble walls look like they did when they were first installed. The etching disappears. The stains lift out. That dull, cloudy film that makes everything look tired gets stripped away completely.
Steam cleaning reaches deep into the marble’s pores where regular cleaning can’t touch. You’re not just getting surface-level results that fade in a few weeks. This is restoration that lasts because we’re actually fixing the stone, not masking problems with temporary solutions.
Your shower walls regain their original luster. Kitchen backsplashes shine without streaks or residue. And you don’t have to worry about whether we know what we’re doing with expensive natural stone.
We’ve been restoring marble and natural stone across Long Island for over 25 years. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say a job can’t be done.
Our owner handles every project directly. No subcontractors, no guesswork, no surprises. When you call, you’re talking to someone who’s been featured in the New York Times for restoration work and has been trusted by places like the Garden City Hotel for over 16 years.
North Lindenhurst’s older homes have some beautiful marble work that deserves proper care. We understand the specific challenges that come with Long Island’s historic properties and the kind of restoration these surfaces need to last another generation.
First, we assess your marble to determine the right approach. Not all marble damage is the same, and steam cleaning works differently depending on what we’re dealing with. We test a small area to make sure we’re using the correct temperature and pressure settings.
Our steam cleaning process uses controlled heat and moisture to lift contaminants from deep within the stone’s pores. We work systematically across each surface, paying special attention to areas with heavy staining or etching. The steam loosens buildup that’s been sitting there for years.
After steam cleaning, we polish the surface to restore the original finish. Then we apply a protective sealer that helps prevent future damage. The whole process typically takes a day for most residential projects, and you can use your surfaces normally within 24 hours.

Our steam cleaning covers complete marble wall restoration, including shower walls, backsplashes, and decorative wall panels. We handle etching repair, stain removal, and surface refinishing all in one process.
Long Island homes built in the early to mid-1900s often have original marble installations that just need proper restoration rather than replacement. These older marble surfaces respond particularly well to steam cleaning because the stone quality was often superior to what’s available today.
We also provide concrete restoration and polishing for clients who have mixed stone surfaces. Our steam cleaning process can be adapted for different natural stone types, so if you have travertine or limestone walls alongside marble, we can restore everything to match. All work includes protective sealing and maintenance recommendations specific to your home’s conditions.
Steam cleaning won’t damage your marble when done correctly, and it actually helps repair minor etching rather than making it worse. The key is using the right temperature and pressure settings for your specific type of marble.
We test every surface before starting the full cleaning process. Different marble varieties react differently to steam, so what works for Carrara marble might not be right for Calacatta or emperador. The steam actually helps open the stone’s pores so we can remove the contaminants that cause etching and staining.
Professional steam cleaning is much gentler than the harsh chemical cleaners most people try first. Those acidic cleaners are what cause the real damage to marble surfaces over time.
Most residential steam cleaning projects take between 4-8 hours depending on the square footage and condition of your marble. A typical shower enclosure usually takes about 3-4 hours, while kitchen backsplashes take 2-3 hours.
The timing also depends on how much restoration work is needed beyond the steam cleaning itself. If we’re dealing with heavy staining or significant etching, we might need additional polishing time after the steam cleaning is complete.
We schedule full-day appointments so we’re not rushing through your project. You’ll have your surfaces back to normal use within 24 hours, but the actual work day varies based on what we find when we start.
Yes, we can steam clean previously sealed marble, but we usually need to strip the old sealer first to get proper results. Old sealers often trap dirt and contaminants underneath, which is why your marble might look cloudy or dull even after regular cleaning.
Steam cleaning works best on bare marble where we can reach the actual stone surface. If your marble has multiple layers of old sealer or wax buildup, we’ll remove those first using appropriate stripping agents, then proceed with the steam cleaning process.
After steam cleaning, we apply a fresh, high-quality sealer that’s designed for your specific marble type and usage patterns. This gives you better protection and makes future maintenance much easier.
Steam cleaning is actually one of the safest methods for historic marble because it doesn’t rely on harsh chemicals that can cause long-term damage to older stone. Historic marble often has different characteristics than modern stone, and steam cleaning lets us work with the material rather than against it.
Older Long Island homes often have marble that’s 80-100 years old or more. This marble was typically quarried and finished using different methods than today’s stone, so it requires specialized knowledge to restore properly. We’ve been working with historic marble across Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 25 years.
Our steam cleaning process can actually help preserve historic marble by removing decades of buildup that’s been slowly damaging the stone. We adjust our techniques based on the age and condition of your specific installation.
Regular marble cleaning services typically use chemical cleaners and basic scrubbing, which only addresses surface-level dirt and grime. Steam cleaning penetrates deep into the marble’s pores to remove contaminants that have been building up for years.
Most cleaning services don’t have the equipment or expertise to properly restore marble that’s been damaged by etching, staining, or improper maintenance. They might make your marble look temporarily cleaner, but they’re not actually fixing the underlying problems.
Steam cleaning is a restoration process, not just a cleaning service. We’re removing damage and restoring the stone’s original appearance, then protecting it with proper sealing. The results last years rather than weeks, and your marble actually gets better over time instead of gradually degrading.
We stand behind our steam cleaning work, but the specific guarantee depends on the condition of your marble when we start and what results are realistically achievable. Some damage can be completely reversed, while other issues can be significantly improved but not eliminated entirely.
Before starting any work, we’ll show you exactly what to expect based on our assessment of your marble’s condition. We don’t promise miracles, but we do promise honest communication about what steam cleaning can and cannot accomplish for your specific situation.
Most of our clients are extremely satisfied with the results because we’re upfront about expectations from the beginning. We’ve been doing this work for over 25 years, so we know what’s possible and what isn’t before we start your project.
