The restoration process removes years of etching, staining, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t touch. You’ll have smooth, lustrous marble that’s properly sealed against future damage. Your bathroom becomes a space you’re actually proud to show off again.
Most clients are shocked at the difference. What looked like it needed complete replacement suddenly looks better than new. That’s the difference between cleaning and actual restoration.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring Long Island’s marble since 1998. We’re not a franchise or cleaning company trying to do restoration work. We’re marble restoration specialists who focus on one thing: bringing stone back to life.
Our owner-operator model means you work directly with the craftsman doing your work. No middleman, no miscommunication, no corners cut. When the New York Times featured our work in 2001, it wasn’t because we were the biggest company. It was because we delivered results that other contractors couldn’t match.
Long Island homes, especially in areas like Selden, often feature beautiful marble installations that deserve expert care. We understand the unique challenges of historic properties and the high standards of modern homeowners who want their investment protected.
First, we evaluate your marble walls to identify the specific issues. Etching from acidic cleaners requires different treatment than mineral buildup from hard water. We don’t use one-size-fits-all approaches because every situation is different.
Next, we remove all soap scum, mineral deposits, and surface damage using specialized techniques that won’t harm your marble. This isn’t power washing or harsh chemicals. It’s precision work that requires understanding how different marble types respond to restoration.
Finally, we restore the surface through grinding, honing, and polishing to bring back the original finish. We seal the marble to protect against future staining and etching. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and we use dustless equipment to keep your home clean throughout the work.

Yes, that chalky, dull appearance is typically caused by etching from acidic cleaners or mineral buildup from hard water. Both issues are completely repairable with proper restoration techniques.
Etching occurs when acidic substances react with the calcium in marble, creating a rough, dull surface that can’t be fixed with cleaning alone. We use specialized grinding and polishing techniques to remove the damaged layer and restore the smooth, glossy finish underneath.
Hard water mineral deposits create a different type of dullness that requires specific removal techniques followed by proper sealing. Once restored, we seal your marble to prevent both types of damage from recurring, so your shower walls stay beautiful longer.
Restoration typically costs 70-80% less than replacement while delivering results that often look better than new. You also avoid the disruption, dust, and complications of a full renovation project.
