We’ve been serving Nassau and Suffolk County since 1998, specializing in the historic stone surfaces that define Long Island’s Gold Coast properties. We’re owner-operated, which means you work directly with experienced craftsmen who take personal responsibility for every project.
Our expertise in historic floor restoration makes us uniquely qualified to handle the older, valuable materials found in Glenwood Landing’s prewar bungalows, midcentury ranch homes, and classic colonials. We understand these materials because we’ve been working with them for decades.
When the NY Times featured our work in 2001, it was recognition of what our clients already knew – we deliver results that exceed expectations while treating every home with the respect it deserves.
We start with a thorough assessment of your surfaces to determine exactly what restoration techniques will deliver the best results. Every situation is different, and we explain exactly what we’ll do before we start.
For chips and cracks, we use color-matched epoxy and specialized repair techniques to fill damage and restore smoothness. The repairs are so precise you’ll never know there was damage. For etching and dullness, we use professional-grade polishing compounds to remove surface damage and restore the original shine.
Our commercial-grade steam cleaning removes deep stains and bacteria without harsh chemicals that can damage stone. Finally, we apply premium sealant that protects against future staining and etching. You get a complete restoration that addresses current problems while preventing future ones.

Professional countertop restoration includes comprehensive surface evaluation, precision repair of chips and cracks, removal of etching and stains, professional polishing to restore original shine, and protective sealing to prevent future damage.
In Glenwood Landing’s high-value housing market, where median home prices reach $1.4 million, protecting your stone investment makes financial sense. The 20th-century homes throughout the area often feature original marble and premium stone that would be expensive and difficult to replace with matching materials.
Our restoration process preserves the character and authenticity that makes these Gold Coast properties special. Rather than installing modern replacements that might not match the home’s historic character, restoration maintains the original aesthetic while bringing performance up to modern standards.
Professional restoration typically costs 70-80% less than full replacement. When you factor in the cost of new materials, demolition, disposal, and installation, replacement projects easily run $3,000-$8,000 or more for typical kitchen countertops.
Restoration addresses the actual problems – stains, etching, chips – without the expense and disruption of starting over. You get results that look like new countertops for a fraction of the cost. In Glenwood Landing’s premium housing market, this approach makes particular sense given the investment you’ve already made in quality materials.
Absolutely. Etching appears as dull, cloudy spots where acids have reacted with the marble’s surface, but this damage can be professionally polished out and the surface restored to its original shine.
Many homeowners think etching means their marble is ruined, but it’s actually one of the most repairable types of damage. We use specialized polishing compounds and techniques to remove etch marks, then seal the surface to prevent future damage. The key is understanding that etching is surface-level damage, not deep staining, which makes it very treatable by professionals with the right equipment and expertise.
Most residential countertop restoration projects are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of your surfaces. This is dramatically faster than replacement, which can take weeks when you factor in ordering materials, scheduling demolition, and installation.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Simple polishing and sealing can often be done in a single day, while more extensive repairs involving chips or cracks might require an additional day. Your kitchen remains functional throughout the process, and you avoid the weeks of inconvenience that come with full replacement projects.
This confusion costs homeowners thousands in unnecessary replacements. Stains are dark patches where liquids like wine or coffee have been absorbed into the stone – these can usually be removed with professional cleaning or poultice treatments.
Etching is dull, cloudy spots caused by acids reacting with the marble’s calcium carbonate composition. Etching feels smooth but looks different from the surrounding surface. Both problems are repairable, but they require different approaches. Stains need extraction techniques while etching needs polishing and refinishing. Understanding this difference helps you avoid panic-replacing countertops that can actually be restored to like-new condition.
Many homeowners worry about properly cleaning their marble without causing etching or dulling the surface. Our professional steam cleaning process uses commercial-grade equipment at precisely controlled temperatures to remove dirt, grime, and bacteria without harsh chemicals.
Unlike home steam cleaners that can damage stone, our professional systems operate at optimal settings that clean deeply while preserving your marble’s integrity. This approach removes stains and bacteria that regular cleaning can’t touch, while actually protecting the stone rather than damaging it. It’s part of why professional restoration delivers results that last for years.
Chips and cracks in marble countertops are more common than you think – they happen from dropped kitchen items, during installation, or just from normal settling over time. The good news is most damage can be repaired so well you’ll never know it was there.
We use color-matched epoxy and specialized techniques to fill chips, seal cracks, and restore the surface to its original smoothness. After repair, we polish and seal the entire surface so everything blends perfectly. This approach saves you thousands compared to replacement while giving you results that last for years. Even significant damage can often be repaired rather than requiring a complete countertop replacement.
