Your marble doesn’t have to stay dull, stained, or damaged. Steam cleaning removes years of buildup that regular cleaning can’t touch—soap scum, hard water deposits, and grime that’s been etched into the surface.
When we’re done, you’ll see the marble you remember. Clean, bright, and protected against future damage. No more embarrassing stains in your shower or cloudy spots on your walls.
This isn’t just cleaning. It’s restoration that brings back the investment you made in quality marble, especially important in Port Jefferson’s historic homes where original materials deserve proper care.
We’ve been serving Port Jefferson since 1998, specializing in the kind of challenging restoration work that matches this area’s historic character. We’re the company that gets excited about 100-year-old marble that others might write off.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we understand what it takes to properly care for the marble in Port Jefferson’s 17th-century architecture and historic waterfront properties.
As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the expert—not a salesperson or subcontractor. Every project gets the attention it deserves because our reputation depends on the results we deliver to neighbors like you.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble surfaces, identifying problem areas and the best approach for your specific stone and situation. No two jobs are exactly alike, especially with historic materials.
Next comes our specialized steam cleaning process. High-tech vapor steam equipment breaks down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic buildup without the harsh chemicals that can damage marble. This step reveals the true condition of your stone.
Finally, we restore and protect. Depending on what your marble needs, this might include honing, polishing, sealing, or repair work. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why, with transparent pricing and clear timelines throughout the process.

Our steam cleaning and restoration services cover everything from shower walls and backsplashes to historic floors and countertops. We work with marble, granite, terrazzo, and now offer concrete restoration and polishing as well.
Port Jefferson’s coastal location means your marble faces unique challenges—salt air, humidity, and the kind of wear that comes with historic properties. We understand these local conditions and how they affect different types of stone over time.
Whether it’s a Victorian-era marble floor that needs careful restoration or a modern shower that’s lost its shine, we have the experience and equipment to handle it properly. Each project includes our commitment to preserve the character and value of your property while delivering results that last.
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature vapor to break down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic buildup without harsh chemicals that can etch or damage marble surfaces. The process is particularly effective for shower walls because it reaches into pores and crevices that traditional cleaning methods miss.
Our specialized equipment emulsifies stubborn deposits, making them easy to remove without scrubbing or abrasive action. This is crucial for marble, which can be damaged by acidic cleaners or aggressive scrubbing techniques.
The steam cleaning process also helps us identify areas where the marble may need additional restoration work, like resealing or polishing, ensuring your shower walls get comprehensive care rather than just surface cleaning.
Yes, hard water stains are one of our specialties, especially common in Port Jefferson due to local water conditions. These white, chalky deposits form when minerals in the water dry on marble surfaces, creating buildup that regular cleaning products can’t remove safely.
Our restoration process starts with steam cleaning to soften and remove surface deposits, then moves to specialized techniques for deeper mineral penetration. Depending on severity, this might include gentle honing to remove etched areas followed by polishing to restore the original finish.
After restoration, we apply appropriate sealers to help prevent future mineral deposits from bonding as strongly to the surface, making routine maintenance much easier and extending the time between professional cleanings.
For marble shower walls, we typically recommend professional cleaning and maintenance every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and water conditions. High-use showers or areas with particularly hard water may need attention more frequently.
The frequency also depends on the type of marble and its finish. Polished marble shows water spots and soap buildup more readily than honed finishes, while some marble types are naturally more porous and prone to staining.
Between professional services, proper daily maintenance makes a huge difference. Squeegee walls after use, avoid acidic cleaners, and address spills quickly. This routine care extends the time between professional cleanings and keeps your marble looking its best.
Absolutely—historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been working on 100+ year old marble in Port Jefferson’s historic properties since 1998, and honestly, the more challenging the restoration, the more we enjoy the work.
Historic marble often requires different techniques than modern stone. The composition, quarrying methods, and installation techniques were different decades ago, so we adjust our approach accordingly. Sometimes historic marble has been through multiple previous restoration attempts that we need to address first.
Our experience with Port Jefferson’s 17th-century architecture means we understand the importance of preserving original character while bringing the stone back to functional beauty. We’ve worked on everything from Victorian mansion floors to historic commercial building lobbies throughout the area.
Regular marble cleaning typically uses chemical cleaners and manual scrubbing, which can actually damage marble over time if the products are too acidic or the scrubbing is too aggressive. Many commercial cleaners that work on other surfaces will etch marble, leaving permanent dull spots.
Steam cleaning uses only high-temperature water vapor to break down deposits and grime. There’s no risk of chemical damage, and the heat actually sanitizes surfaces while cleaning. The process is gentler on the stone while being more effective at removing stubborn buildup.
Steam cleaning also allows us to see the true condition of your marble without chemical residues masking problems. This helps us determine if additional restoration steps like honing, polishing, or sealing are needed to properly restore and protect your surfaces.
Yes, steam cleaning is highly effective for mold removal because the high temperatures kill mold spores while the vapor penetrates into porous surfaces where mold can hide. This is especially important for marble, which can harbor mold in its natural pores and microscopic surface irregularities.
The steam process doesn’t just remove visible mold—it sanitizes the entire surface, eliminating spores that could cause future growth. This is much more effective than surface cleaning with bleach or other chemicals, which may not penetrate deeply enough.
After mold removal, we typically recommend sealing the marble to reduce its porosity and make future cleaning easier. We can also address any grout or caulk issues that may be contributing to moisture retention and mold growth in shower areas.
