No more etching from lemon juice spills. No more dull spots where cleaning products damaged the surface. No more embarrassing stains when guests visit your kitchen.
Your countertops look like the day they were installed—with that deep, mirror-like finish that made you choose marble in the first place. Every scratch, chip, and water spot is gone. The surface feels smooth to the touch again.
You get marble that’s properly sealed against Long Island’s hard water and humidity. Surfaces that actually stay clean between maintenance visits. Protection from the daily wear that damaged them originally, so your investment stays beautiful for years to come.
We’ve been restoring countertops and historic surfaces in Bohemia since 1998. We’re the owner-operated company that gets excited about challenging projects—the older and more damaged the marble, the better.
We earned recognition in the New York Times for bringing 100-year-old surfaces back to life. While other contractors avoid difficult restoration work, we specialize in it. You work directly with the owner on every project, not subcontractors or sales teams.
Bohemia’s housing stock presents unique challenges, from original 1970s marble that’s lost its luster to century-old installations requiring specialized techniques. We understand how Long Island’s coastal environment affects natural stone, and we adjust our methods accordingly.
First, we assess everything. Hard water stains, soap scum buildup, etching from acidic cleaners, surface wear—we identify exactly what’s happening with your marble and explain it clearly. No technical jargon, just honest assessment.
Next comes the actual restoration. We use professional-grade diamond grinding and polishing equipment designed specifically for natural stone. This isn’t the harsh chemical approach that cleaning companies use and that can damage your marble further. The process involves careful grinding to remove damaged surface layers, honing to smooth the stone, and polishing to restore that mirror-like finish.
Finally, we protect your investment. Proper sealing prevents future staining and etching. We also provide clear maintenance guidance specific to Bohemia’s water conditions, so your restored marble stays beautiful for years. Most projects complete in 1-3 days with dustless techniques that minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Every countertop restoration project includes comprehensive damage assessment, professional cleaning to remove years of buildup, grinding and honing to eliminate scratches and etches, and polishing to restore original shine. We handle crack and chip repair with color-matched materials, deep stain removal, and protective sealing.
Bohemia’s mature housing stock often features original marble installations from the 1970s and 1980s that now need expert care. Whether it’s kitchen countertops with years of cooking stains, bathroom vanities damaged by improper cleaning products, or historic marble that’s been compromised by decades of wear, we have the experience and equipment to restore it properly.
Long Island’s hard water creates mineral deposits and calcium buildup that require specific removal techniques. Our restoration process accounts for these local conditions, ensuring your countertops not only look beautiful but resist the environmental factors that damaged them originally. We provide detailed, itemized proposals within 24 hours, so you know exactly what needs to be done and what it costs before we start.
Yes, even severely damaged marble countertops can typically be restored to like-new condition. Etching from acidic spills, deep stains, and surface scratches are removed through specialized grinding and polishing techniques that regular cleaning cannot achieve.
The process involves carefully removing the damaged surface layer while preserving the integrity of the marble underneath. We use progressive diamond abrasives, starting with coarse grits for deep damage and working up to fine polishing compounds for that mirror-like finish. The results depend on the original condition and type of marble, but almost without exception, marble surfaces can be restored to their original beauty and shine.
Some historic marble that’s been damaged by decades of improper cleaning can look better than it has in years after professional restoration.
Professional countertop restoration typically costs a fraction of replacement—often saving up to 80% of replacement costs. Marble restoration costs in the Bohemia area typically range from $5 to $25 per square foot, depending on the extent of damage and restoration method needed.
Replacement costs for marble can run $70-190 per square foot on Long Island, plus demolition costs, potential wall repairs, new material, and installation labor. When you add all these expenses, replacement becomes extremely expensive. Beyond cost, restoration often gives you better results since many older Bohemia homes have higher-grade marble than what’s commonly available today.
We provide free, itemized estimates usually within 24 hours so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure, no upselling during the work.
Most countertop restoration projects in Bohemia take 1-3 days depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. A typical kitchen with marble countertops usually takes 1-2 days, while larger projects or multiple rooms may require additional time.
The timeline depends on several factors: the extent of damage, the type of finish you want, and whether we’re doing additional services like crack repair or sealing. We use efficient, dustless techniques that minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring thorough, professional results.
You can usually use your restored countertops normally within 24 hours of completion. We always provide a clear timeline with your free estimate so you can plan accordingly and know exactly what to expect throughout the process.
Yes, properly restored marble countertops will actually resist staining and damage better than they did originally. The restoration process includes applying protective sealers specifically designed for natural stone that create a barrier against spills, moisture, and daily wear.
Long Island’s hard water and coastal environment create unique challenges for marble surfaces. Our sealing process accounts for these local conditions, protecting against the mineral deposits, humidity, and temperature changes that accelerate wear on natural stone. We use sealers that can handle daily exposure to cooking activities and bathroom moisture.
The key is using the right restoration sequence and sealing products. We don’t just make your countertops look better—we make them perform better long-term. You’ll find that maintenance becomes easier, spills wipe up more readily, and the surface stays cleaner between professional maintenance visits.
Yes, we complete 99% of restoration work on-premises without messy dust using advanced dustless techniques. Our professional-grade equipment includes water-fed diamond grinding and polishing systems that contain dust at the source rather than spreading it throughout your home.
This dustless approach is especially important for Bohemia homeowners who want to maintain their daily routines during restoration. You won’t need to cover furniture, worry about dust settling on other surfaces, or deal with extensive cleanup afterward. The work area stays contained and manageable.
Traditional grinding methods can create significant dust problems that affect air quality and require extensive cleanup. Our water-based restoration techniques eliminate this issue while actually achieving better results than dry methods. Most homeowners are surprised at how clean and controlled the process is compared to what they expected.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve worked on century-old marble throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties, including many Bohemia area historic properties. With over 25 years of experience and recognition in the New York Times, we have the expertise to work with antique marble that other contractors won’t touch.
Older marble requires different techniques than modern stone. We understand the quarrying methods, finishing styles, and installation practices used in different eras, which affects how we approach each restoration project. Many Bohemia homes dating back over a century present unique challenges that require specialized knowledge of historic materials and techniques.
Historic properties often have marble that’s actually higher quality than modern alternatives, making restoration much more valuable than replacement. We’ve successfully restored marble from the early 1900s that looks better than new installations, preserving the original character while addressing modern functionality needs.
