Your marble walls tell the story of your home. But water stains, soap buildup, and years of use shouldn’t be part of that story. When you choose professional marble walls restoration in Greenlawn, NY, you’re not just cleaning surfaces—you’re reclaiming the elegance that drew you to marble in the first place.
The difference is immediate and lasting. Etch marks from cleaning products disappear. Hard water deposits that seemed permanent vanish. That dull, cloudy appearance transforms back into the smooth, reflective surface you remember. Your shower walls regain their luster, your backsplash becomes a focal point again, and your bathroom feels like the sanctuary it was meant to be.
This isn’t just about appearance, though that matters. Properly restored marble walls resist future damage better. They’re easier to maintain. And in Greenlawn’s competitive real estate market, restored marble can add significant value to your home—sometimes up to 25% according to industry data.
We’ve been restoring marble walls and historic surfaces throughout Greenlawn since 1998. What sets us apart isn’t just our experience—it’s our approach. As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the craftsman doing the work, not a sales team or subcontractors.
We specialize in the kind of challenging projects other companies avoid. Historic marble restoration. Surfaces that have been neglected or damaged by previous attempts at repair. The worse the condition, the better we like it—because that’s where our expertise really shows.
Greenlawn’s homes, many built in the 1940s and 1950s, often feature original marble installations that require a delicate touch and deep understanding of period materials. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, and our reputation in Suffolk County speaks for itself.
Every marble walls restoration project starts with an honest assessment. We examine the damage, identify the underlying causes, and explain exactly what needs to happen to restore your surfaces properly. No surprises, no hidden costs.
The restoration process itself varies depending on your marble’s condition, but typically involves several key steps. First, we clean away years of buildup using specialized products designed specifically for natural stone—never harsh chemicals that can cause more damage. Then we address any structural issues: chips, cracks, or areas where the marble has been compromised.
The restoration phase is where craftsmanship matters most. We use diamond polishing techniques to remove etching and scratches, gradually working through different grits until your marble walls achieve the desired finish. Whether you prefer a high-gloss shine or a more subtle honed appearance, we can deliver exactly what you’re looking for. Finally, we seal the surface to protect against future damage and make maintenance easier.

Our marble walls restoration service covers every surface in your home. Shower walls that have lost their luster from soap scum and hard water deposits. Kitchen backsplashes dulled by cooking residue and cleaning attempts. Bathroom vanity walls marked by beauty products and daily use.
What makes our service particularly valuable in Greenlawn is our understanding of Long Island’s specific challenges. The hard water in this area creates unique mineral buildup patterns. The humidity from being near the water affects how marble ages. Many homes here have original installations from decades past that require specialized knowledge to restore properly.
We handle everything from minor touch-ups to complete wall restoration. Etch mark removal, scratch repair, stain treatment, and protective sealing are all part of our comprehensive approach. Most work is done on-site and dust-free, so your daily routine isn’t disrupted while we transform your marble walls back to their original beauty.
Marble walls restoration typically costs a fraction of replacement—usually $2 to $3 per square foot depending on the extent of damage and type of finish desired. Compare that to $4,000 to $10,000+ for new marble installation, and restoration becomes an obvious choice.
Several factors influence the final cost: the current condition of your marble, the square footage involved, and the level of restoration needed. Minor etching and surface dulling require less work than deep scratches or significant staining. We provide detailed, itemized estimates within 24 hours so you know exactly what you’re investing in.
The investment pays for itself quickly. Properly restored marble walls can increase your home’s value by up to 25% according to National Association of Realtors data. More importantly, you get to enjoy beautiful marble surfaces for decades to come instead of living with damaged walls or facing the disruption of complete replacement.
Yes, we specialize in challenging restoration projects, including marble shower walls with extensive water damage. Hard water deposits, soap scum buildup, and mineral staining that seem permanent can usually be removed with the right techniques and equipment.
The key is understanding what type of damage you’re dealing with. Surface-level deposits respond to specialized cleaning and polishing. Deeper etching requires more intensive restoration involving multiple grading steps. In cases where water has caused structural damage to the marble itself, we can often repair and reinforce the surface.
Greenlawn’s hard water creates particularly stubborn mineral deposits, but we’ve developed proven methods for addressing these local conditions. The process takes time—rushing leads to incomplete results or surface damage. That’s why we take a methodical approach, working through each step until your shower walls look like new installations.
Most marble walls restoration projects in Greenlawn take 1-3 days depending on the scope of work and square footage involved. Simple polishing and sealing can often be completed in a single day, while comprehensive restoration of heavily damaged surfaces may require additional time.
The timeline depends on several factors: the extent of damage, the size of the area, and the desired finish. We work efficiently but never rush the process—proper restoration requires allowing adequate time for each step to be completed correctly. Attempting to speed up the process typically leads to subpar results.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your routine. Most work is done on-premises and dust-free, so you can continue using other areas of your home normally. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the initial assessment and keep you informed of progress throughout the project.
Cleaning removes surface dirt and grime, while restoration actually repairs damage and returns marble to its original condition. Many homeowners try cleaning first, but true restoration requires specialized equipment and techniques that go far beyond surface cleaning.
Standard cleaning products—even those marketed for stone—can’t address etching, deep stains, or surface scratches. In fact, many household cleaners contain acids that actually damage marble further. Professional restoration involves diamond polishing, specialized compounds, and multi-step processes that rebuild the marble’s surface.
The results speak for themselves. Cleaning might make your marble walls look temporarily better, but restoration makes them look like new installations. Properly restored marble also resists future damage better and requires less maintenance over time. It’s the difference between a quick fix and a long-term solution.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We love working on challenging projects in Greenlawn’s older homes—the more complex the better. Marble installations from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s often require specialized knowledge of period materials and techniques.
These older installations present unique challenges. The marble may be softer than modern varieties. Original installation methods were different. Decades of well-meaning but improper maintenance attempts may have caused additional damage. We understand these nuances and adjust our approach accordingly.
Our experience with historic restoration has even earned recognition—we were featured in the New York Times for our work on challenging projects. When other companies say a job is too difficult or recommend replacement, that’s often when we do our best work. Preserving the character and craftsmanship of these original installations is what we’re passionate about.
We take extensive precautions to protect your home during marble walls restoration. Our process is designed to be dust-free and minimally invasive—99% of our work is completed on-site without the mess typically associated with restoration projects.
Before starting any work, we carefully mask and protect adjacent surfaces, furniture, and fixtures. We use specialized equipment that contains dust and debris at the source. Our wet-sanding techniques eliminate airborne particles while being gentler on the marble surface itself.
The goal is to restore your marble walls while leaving the rest of your home exactly as we found it. We clean up thoroughly after each work session and do a final inspection before considering the job complete. Many clients are surprised by how clean and organized we keep the work area—it’s part of our professional approach to every project.
