We’ve been restoring stone surfaces in Centerport for over 25 years. We know these neighborhoods – from the historic colonials on Little Neck Peninsula to the charming bungalows near Centerport Harbor. Many of these homes have original stone that’s worth preserving.
The New York Times featured our work back in 2001, recognizing our expertise in historic restoration. But what matters more is that we personally oversee every project. When you call, you’re talking to the person who’ll be accountable for your results.
Centerport homeowners appreciate straight talk and quality work. You don’t want to deal with subcontractors or wonder who’s responsible when something goes wrong. With us, you get direct communication, transparent pricing, and someone who stands behind the work personally.
First, we assess your countertops and explain exactly what restoration will involve. You get transparent pricing upfront – no surprises or hidden costs. If deep scratches need filling, we’ll tell you. If simple polishing will do the job, we’ll tell you that too.
The actual work starts with careful protection of your cabinets, walls, and floors. We use professional-grade diamond grinding and polishing equipment, working through progressively finer grits to remove damage and restore the surface.
Final steps include polishing to your preferred sheen level and applying appropriate sealers. We clean up completely and walk you through care instructions. Your countertops are ready for light use within 24 hours, with full cure happening over the next few days. Most projects wrap up in 1-2 days total.

We restore marble, granite, quartzite, and other natural stone countertops commonly found in Centerport homes. Services include scratch removal, etch repair, stain removal, chip filling, and complete surface refinishing.
Given Centerport’s housing stock – with many homes built in the 1950s and earlier – we often work on beautiful original stone installations. These surfaces were built to last and deserve proper restoration rather than replacement. Historic homes require experienced hands who understand both the stone and the craftsmanship.
We’ve also added concrete restoration and polishing services. Perfect for basement renovations or creating modern industrial-style surfaces. Every project includes our standard protection protocols and thorough cleanup, so your home stays pristine throughout the process.
Restoration typically costs 50-80% less than replacement. Where replacement might run $4,000-$10,000 for an average Centerport kitchen, restoration usually ranges from $800-$2,500 depending on your countertop size and condition.
The math gets even better when you factor in the hidden costs of replacement – cabinet modifications, plumbing adjustments, electrical work, and weeks of eating takeout. Restoration avoids all of that.
We provide exact pricing after seeing your specific situation. You’ll know the total cost before we start, with no hidden fees. Most clients are surprised how much money restoration saves while delivering results that often exceed their expectations.
Yes, even severely damaged marble can usually be restored to like-new condition. Etching from acidic spills, water spots, soap scum buildup, and most organic stains can be removed through our restoration process.
We use professional diamond grinding compounds to remove the damaged surface layer and reveal fresh stone underneath. This eliminates years of accumulated damage – not just the surface symptoms, but the actual damaged stone itself.
The key is having the right equipment and experience. We’ve been doing this since 1998 and have seen every type of marble damage imaginable. What looks hopeless to you is often routine for us. The worst-case scenario is usually just more time and effort, not an impossible repair.
Most restoration projects complete in 1-2 days with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Your kitchen stays largely functional throughout the process – we’re not tearing anything out or waiting for new materials to arrive.
Day one typically involves the grinding, honing, and initial polishing. Day two focuses on final polishing and sealing. You can usually prepare simple meals and use your sink normally during the work.
Compare this to replacement, which often takes 2-4 weeks from demolition to completion. You’ll be back to normal life in 48 hours instead of living on sandwiches for a month. The time savings alone makes restoration worth considering.
Restored countertops often look better than new because modern restoration techniques achieve polish levels that weren’t possible when your countertops were originally installed. We can create finishes that exceed original factory specifications.
The restoration process removes all existing damage and creates a uniform surface across your entire countertop. No more dull spots, scratches, or etching – just consistent beauty from edge to edge.
Many clients tell us their countertops look better after restoration than they remember them ever looking. You’re getting a brand-new surface on your existing stone, often with better stain resistance and easier maintenance than the original finish provided.
Historic restoration is actually our specialty. We understand the unique considerations of working in older homes and the value of preserving original materials rather than replacing them unnecessarily.
Many Centerport homes from the 1940s-1960s have gorgeous original stone installations – Carrara marble, beautiful granites, unique materials that aren’t readily available today. This stone has character and quality that’s worth preserving.
We were featured in the New York Times specifically for historic restoration work. We take extra care with vintage installations, understanding that original craftsmanship requires specialized approaches. Your historic stone gets the respect and expertise it deserves.
Complete restoration includes assessment, surface preparation, progressive grinding and honing, polishing to your desired sheen level, sealing, and thorough cleanup. We handle everything from protecting your cabinets to disposing of waste materials.
You also get our owner-operator guarantee – direct communication throughout the project and personal accountability for results. No subcontractors, no confusion about who’s responsible. When you have questions or concerns, you talk directly to the person doing the work.
The service includes care instructions and maintenance recommendations to help your restored surfaces stay beautiful longer. We want you completely satisfied with both the results and the entire experience of working with us.
