You walk into your bathroom and actually smile at what you see. Those embarrassing water stains are gone. The dull, lifeless marble now reflects light like it did when it was first installed. Your shower walls look crisp and clean instead of grimy and neglected.
The etching from years of soap scum and hard water buildup has disappeared. Your backsplash marble catches the light again, making your kitchen feel expensive instead of tired. Most importantly, you’ve protected your investment without the massive expense and disruption of a complete replacement.
Your marble walls don’t just look better—they’re sealed and protected against future damage. You’ve added value back to your Shirley home while avoiding the headache of living through a major renovation.
We’ve been restoring marble walls and floors across Long Island since 1998. We’re the company that gets excited about the challenging jobs—the 100-year-old marble that other contractors won’t touch.
We’ve built our reputation on owner-operator quality control. When you hire us, you get direct access to the craftsman doing the work, not a sales rep who disappears after you sign. The New York Times featured our work back in 2001, and we’ve been the exclusive stone care provider for the Garden City Hotel for over 16 years.
In Shirley’s competitive housing market, where home values have jumped 22% in recent years, protecting your marble investment makes financial sense. We understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s coastal climate creates for natural stone, and we know how to address them properly.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble walls to identify exactly what’s causing the damage. Is it etching from acidic cleaners? Hard water buildup? Improper sealing? We need to know the root cause before we can fix it properly.
Next comes the cleaning phase using pH-neutral products specifically designed for natural stone. This removes all the soap scum, mineral deposits, and grime that’s been building up in your marble’s pores. Many homeowners are shocked at how much dirt comes out during this step.
The restoration work involves carefully grinding away surface damage, then honing the marble to smooth out scratches and etch marks. We finish with polishing to restore that original shine and depth of color. Finally, we apply a professional-grade sealer that penetrates deep into the stone to prevent future staining and water damage.
You’ll see the difference immediately, but the real benefit comes over time as your properly restored and sealed marble walls resist the daily assault of shower steam, soap, and cleaning products.

Living in Shirley means dealing with Long Island’s unique challenges. The coastal humidity accelerates marble damage, while the area’s hard water creates stubborn mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t touch. Many of the beautiful homes built here in the 1970s and 80s feature original marble installations that just need expert care to look stunning again.
We also specialize in concrete restoration and polishing—a service that’s particularly valuable for Shirley homeowners looking to update their basement floors or outdoor surfaces. Our owner-operator approach means you get consistent quality and direct communication throughout your project.
Whether you’re preparing to sell in Shirley’s hot real estate market or simply want to enjoy your home’s original beauty, our restoration services deliver results that last. We use commercial-grade sealers and techniques that protect your investment for years to come.
Yes, we regularly restore marble walls that have been damaged by acidic cleaners, bleach, and other harsh products. The damage typically appears as dull spots, etching, or a generally lifeless appearance where the marble has lost its natural shine.
Our restoration process involves carefully removing the damaged surface layer through controlled grinding and honing. We then rebuild the marble’s finish through progressive polishing stages. Even marble that looks completely ruined can usually be restored to like-new condition. The key is using the right techniques and equipment—something most cleaning companies don’t have access to.
Most bathroom marble wall restoration projects in Shirley take 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. Shower walls typically require more intensive work due to years of soap scum and hard water damage, while decorative accent walls might need less time.
We work efficiently but never rush the process. Each stage—cleaning, grinding, honing, polishing, and sealing—needs proper time to cure. We protect your furniture and flooring during the work, and you can usually use your bathroom the same evening we finish. The final sealer needs 24 hours to fully cure for maximum protection.
Absolutely. Marble replacement in Shirley can easily cost $15,000-30,000 for a bathroom, plus weeks of construction disruption. Professional restoration typically costs 70-80% less while delivering results that look identical to new marble.
Given Shirley’s competitive housing market where homes are selling 22% higher than last year, protecting your existing marble investment makes smart financial sense. Quality marble restoration actually increases your home’s value while preserving the original craftsmanship that buyers in this price range expect. Plus, you avoid the hassle of living through a major renovation.
Long Island’s coastal location creates unique challenges for marble. The humid air accelerates water absorption, while salt in the atmosphere can worsen etching and staining. Many Shirley homes also have hard water that leaves stubborn mineral deposits on marble surfaces.
The age of housing stock here is another factor. Homes built in the 1970s and 80s often have original marble installations that were sealed with older products that have worn away over decades. Without proper sealing, marble becomes increasingly porous and vulnerable to staining from soap, shampoo, and cleaning products.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a comprehensive warranty on both the restoration and sealing. Our owner-operator approach means we’re personally invested in every job we complete. We’ve been serving Long Island since 1998, and our reputation depends on delivering lasting results.
We also provide detailed care instructions to help you maintain your restored marble walls. When you follow our maintenance guidelines and use the proper cleaning products we recommend, your marble should stay beautiful for many years. If any issues arise related to our workmanship, we’ll make it right at no charge.
This is actually our specialty. We get excited about historic marble restoration projects that other contractors won’t touch. Many older homes in Shirley have beautiful original marble with unique patterns and finishes that simply can’t be replicated with modern materials.
Our process involves carefully analyzing the original finish and matching it exactly through our multi-stage restoration process. We can recreate everything from high-gloss polished finishes to subtle honed surfaces. The goal is making the restoration invisible—preserving the historic character while bringing back the marble’s original beauty. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for exactly this type of specialized historic restoration work.
