Our countertop restoration covers marble, granite, and natural stone surfaces throughout your home. We remove etching from acidic spills, repair chips and cracks, eliminate stains, and restore the original finish.
In Riverhead’s historic homes—many dating back over 100 years—we understand the unique challenges of working with period materials. Long Island’s housing stock includes thousands of vintage properties where original stone surfaces need specialized care.
We also offer concrete restoration and polishing, perfect for modern homes and commercial spaces. Whether your countertops are in a 1920s colonial or a contemporary kitchen, we have the expertise to restore them properly.
Professional countertop restoration typically costs 50-80% less than full replacement. A typical marble countertop restoration runs $200-600 depending on the damage, while replacement can easily cost $3,000-8,000 or more.
The savings go beyond just the upfront cost. You avoid demolition, disposal fees, potential plumbing adjustments, and weeks of kitchen downtime. Most restoration projects are completed in 1-2 days, not the weeks required for replacement.
For Riverhead homeowners dealing with a competitive housing market, restoration also maintains the authentic character of historic stone while improving your home’s value.
Yes, we regularly restore countertops that other companies consider beyond repair. Deep scratches, acid etching, and even significant chips can usually be restored to like-new condition.
The key is using the right techniques for your specific stone type. Marble requires different restoration methods than granite or engineered stone. We use professional-grade diamond abrasives and polishing compounds that aren’t available to DIYers.
We’ve restored countertops with damage that homeowners lived with for years, thinking replacement was their only option. Most surface damage that looks permanent can actually be removed completely with proper restoration techniques.
Most countertop restoration projects are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. This includes prep work, restoration, and final polishing.
Compare that to replacement projects, which typically take 2-3 weeks from templating to final installation. You also avoid the mess and disruption of demolition, disposal, and potential plumbing modifications.
After we finish the restoration work, your countertops need 24-48 hours to fully cure before normal use. We provide specific care instructions to protect your restored surfaces and maintain their appearance for years to come.
Historic restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been restoring period stone surfaces since 1998, and we understand the unique challenges of working with materials and techniques from different eras.
Long Island has thousands of homes built before 1940, many with original marble, granite, or stone surfaces that require specialized knowledge to restore properly. Modern restoration products and techniques can actually damage historic stone if not applied correctly.
We match restoration methods to the specific type and age of your stone. Whether it’s 1920s Carrara marble or 1950s terrazzo, we have the expertise to restore it while preserving its historic character and value.
We can repair most types of marble damage, including acid etching from citrus or vinegar, heat damage from hot pans, scratches from cutting directly on the surface, chips and cracks, water stains and mineral deposits, and general dullness from wear.
The only damage we typically can’t repair is structural cracking that goes completely through the slab. Even then, we can often stabilize and camouflage the damage to extend the life of your countertops.
Each restoration project starts with a thorough assessment. We’ll show you exactly what can be restored and what the results will look like, so you can make an informed decision about restoration versus replacement.
Matching restored areas to original stone requires both technical skill and an understanding of how different stones age and patinate over time. We use color-matched repair compounds and adjust our polishing techniques to blend seamlessly with the surrounding surface.
For historic stones, this often means replicating not just the original finish, but how that finish has developed character over decades of use. Modern “perfect” repairs can actually look out of place on period stone surfaces.
Our goal is restoration work that’s invisible—you should only notice how great your countertops look, not where the repairs were made. This attention to detail is what sets professional restoration apart from DIY attempts or quick fixes.
