You walk into your bathroom and the marble walls look exactly like they did when your house was built. No dull spots from years of soap scum. No etching from acidic cleaners. No scratches from daily use.
The veining is crisp again. The surface reflects light evenly. Water beads off instead of soaking in and leaving stains.
Your guests notice immediately—not because the marble looks “fixed,” but because it looks flawless. Like someone who actually knows what they’re doing worked on it.
We specialize in the kind of challenging restoration work that most companies won’t touch. We’re talking about marble that’s been in Peconic homes for over a century—the intricate patterns, the complex materials, the surfaces that have stories to tell.
Our owner handles every project personally. No subcontractors. No franchisees. Just someone who’s been featured in the New York Times for restoration work and understands that your historic marble isn’t just decoration—it’s part of your home’s character.
Peconic’s older homes present unique challenges. The marble in these properties often requires techniques that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern restoration methods. We’ve spent decades perfecting this balance.
First, we assess the damage. Not just the obvious stuff—etching, stains, scratches—but the underlying issues that caused them. Poor sealing, improper cleaning, structural settling that created stress points.
Then we clean using methods that won’t damage the stone. No harsh acids. No abrasives that create more scratches. We remove years of buildup while preserving the marble’s integrity.
The restoration phase depends on your marble’s condition. Light polishing for surface issues. Deeper grinding and honing for serious damage. Color-matched repairs for chips and cracks using knife-grade epoxy mixed with precise pigments.
Finally, we seal everything properly. The right sealer applied correctly protects against future staining and makes maintenance simple. Your marble stays beautiful longer.

Every marble wall restoration project includes comprehensive surface preparation, damage repair, professional-grade polishing, and protective sealing. We handle shower walls, backsplashes, accent walls, and decorative marble features throughout your Peconic home.
Our process is dust-free using wet-sanding techniques. We protect your floors, furniture, and adjacent surfaces. Most work happens on-site without removing your marble.
Peconic’s historic properties often feature original marble installations that require specialized care. We preserve historical details while updating performance standards. Our goal isn’t just restoration—it’s ensuring your marble walls can handle another century of use while maintaining their original elegance.
Yes, almost all marble wall damage can be restored without replacement. We’ve successfully restored marble walls with severe etching, deep stains, scratches, and even structural cracks. The key is using proper techniques instead of harsh chemicals that cause more damage.
Restoration typically costs 60-80% less than replacement while achieving the same visual result. Plus, you preserve the original marble’s character and your home’s historic integrity. The only time replacement makes sense is when the marble has structural damage that compromises safety.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Peconic take 1-3 days depending on the scope. A typical bathroom with shower walls and vanity area usually takes two days. Larger projects like full kitchen backsplashes or multiple rooms may take longer.
We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Our process involves drying time between steps, so we plan accordingly. You’ll have full use of your space each evening, and we clean up completely at the end of each day. Historic homes sometimes present unexpected challenges that can extend timelines, which we discuss upfront.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and grime but can’t fix etching, scratches, or dull spots. Restoration actually repairs the marble’s surface structure. Many “cleaning companies” use harsh acids and abrasives that create more damage while claiming to restore your marble.
True restoration involves grinding, honing, and polishing techniques that remove damaged surface layers and create a new protective finish. It’s specialized work requiring proper equipment and training. The results look completely different—restored marble has the clarity, smoothness, and reflective quality it had when first installed.
Historic marble often responds better to restoration than newer stone. Older marble was typically higher quality with better mineral composition. The challenge isn’t the marble’s age—it’s understanding the specific techniques needed for each type and era.
Peconic’s century-old homes often feature marble varieties that aren’t quarried anymore. We’ve developed expertise in working with these unique materials. Sometimes historic marble has been damaged by decades of improper cleaning, but the underlying stone is usually excellent. Proper restoration reveals the original beauty that’s been hidden under years of damage.
Proper sealing is crucial, but it’s only part of the solution. We use penetrating sealers that create a hydrophobic barrier without changing the marble’s appearance. Our sealer prevents stains from absorbing while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.
Maintenance education is equally important. We show you which products are safe and which ones cause etching. Simple changes in cleaning routines dramatically extend your marble’s life. Most damage happens from using common household cleaners that are too acidic for natural stone. With proper care, restored marble walls can look perfect for decades.
Absolutely. Shower walls and backsplashes present unique challenges because they’re constantly exposed to water, soap, and cleaning products. These areas typically show the most damage from daily use and improper maintenance.
Our shower restoration includes removing soap scum buildup, repairing grout lines, eliminating mold and mildew, and creating proper water-resistant sealing. Backsplash work focuses on removing cooking stains, grease damage, and etching from acidic foods. Both require specialized techniques to ensure water resistance and long-term durability. The finished result should look and perform like new installation.
