High Definition Marble Restoration Inc specializes in historic marble restoration across Long Island’s North Fork. We understand what Orient’s century-old homes require – careful, expert treatment that preserves original materials while bringing them back to their intended beauty.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman handling your project. No subcontractors, no miscommunication, no surprises. We’ve been featured in the New York Times and have maintained the same commercial clients for over 16 years.
Orient’s historic properties deserve specialists who understand both the materials and the history. That’s exactly what we provide.
First, we inspect your marble walls to identify damage, stains, etching, or wear patterns. We assess what restoration approach will work best for your specific marble type and condition.
Next, we deep clean the surface using specialized cleaners that remove soap scum, hard water deposits, and contaminants without damaging the marble. Any cracks or chips get repaired using color-matched fillers.
Then comes the restoration work – grinding, honing, and polishing to remove scratches, stains, and etching while bringing back the marble’s natural shine. Finally, we seal the surface with protective sealers to prevent future staining and make maintenance easier.
The entire process is dust-controlled and done on-site. Your marble walls are restored to their original condition, often looking better than when first installed.

Your restoration includes complete cleaning, repair, polishing, and sealing of all marble wall surfaces. We handle shower walls, backsplashes, accent walls, and any marble wall application in your Orient home.
We also restore the grout lines, re-caulk where needed, and address any mold or mildew issues that commonly develop in marble showers. Hard water stains, soap scum buildup, and mineral deposits are completely removed.
Orient’s coastal environment and historic plumbing systems often create unique challenges for marble walls. Salt air, older water systems, and seasonal humidity changes all affect how marble ages. We understand these local factors and adjust our restoration methods accordingly.
Every project includes a protective sealing treatment that’s specifically chosen for your marble type and usage patterns. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach – it’s customized restoration for Orient’s unique conditions.
Yes, we regularly restore marble shower walls damaged by inappropriate cleaning products. Harsh cleaners containing acids or abrasives create etching – dull, rough spots where the marble surface has been chemically burned.
Our restoration process removes the damaged surface layer through careful grinding and honing, then rebuilds the finish through progressive polishing steps. We can restore the original shine and smoothness even when the damage appears permanent.
The key is using the right restoration sequence for your specific marble type. Carrara marble requires different treatment than Calacatta or other varieties. We match our process to your stone’s characteristics for optimal results.
Historic marble requires extra care because replacement materials often aren’t available. We use conservation-grade techniques that preserve as much original material as possible while achieving full restoration.
Our approach focuses on minimal intervention – removing only as much damaged surface as necessary to achieve the desired result. We understand that Orient’s historic marble walls are irreplaceable architectural elements that need specialized treatment.
We also work around historic plumbing and electrical systems without requiring major renovations. Most of our work is done in place using portable equipment, so we don’t disrupt your home’s historic character or require extensive construction access.
White buildup on marble shower walls typically comes from hard water minerals, soap scum, and calcium deposits. Long Island’s water supply contains minerals that bond to marble surfaces, especially in warm, humid shower environments.
Soap residue combines with these minerals to create stubborn films that regular cleaning can’t remove. Over time, these deposits etch into the marble surface, creating permanent staining and dullness that require professional restoration.
The problem gets worse when people use acidic cleaners trying to remove the buildup. These cleaners actually damage the marble further, creating more etching and making the surface rougher so it holds more deposits. Professional restoration removes both the buildup and the underlying damage.
Most marble wall restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. Bathroom shower walls typically require 1-2 days, while larger projects like multiple walls or extensive backsplashes may take longer.
We use dust-control equipment and protective barriers to contain our work area. You can use other parts of your home normally during the restoration process. For bathroom projects, we coordinate timing so you have access to other facilities when needed.
The work is done entirely on-site using portable equipment. We don’t need to remove your marble walls or require major construction access. Most homeowners are surprised how minimal the disruption is for such dramatic results.
Properly restored and sealed marble walls are actually easier to maintain than damaged surfaces. The protective sealer we apply prevents most stains and makes routine cleaning more effective with gentler products.
For daily maintenance, use pH-neutral stone cleaners and avoid anything containing acids, vinegar, or harsh abrasives. Weekly cleaning with proper products keeps the marble looking fresh and prevents buildup that would require professional attention.
We provide specific maintenance instructions based on your marble type and usage patterns. Most clients find that proper maintenance after restoration keeps their marble walls looking excellent for years between professional services.
Yes, we can match virtually any marble finish – from high gloss polish to matte honed surfaces. This is especially important in historic Orient homes where you want restored areas to blend seamlessly with original surfaces.
We use progressive polishing techniques that allow precise control over the final finish level. Whether you need mirror-like polish for formal areas or subtle satin finishes for everyday use, we adjust our process accordingly.
For historic properties, we often recreate period-appropriate finishes that match the original installation. This attention to historical accuracy helps maintain your home’s authentic character while providing modern durability and protection.
