We’ve been restoring Laurel Hollow’s most valuable marble staircases since 1998. We’re the owner-operated company that earned recognition in a 2001 New York Times article for bringing century-old surfaces back to life.
In Laurel Hollow’s historic homes, many built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, original marble installations require specialized knowledge that most contractors don’t possess. We understand these older materials and the techniques needed to restore them without compromising their historic integrity.
You work directly with our owner on every project. No subcontractors, no miscommunication, no surprises.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble staircase, identifying every scratch, etch mark, and area of concern. You receive transparent pricing upfront with no hidden costs.
Our restoration process uses professional diamond grinding and polishing equipment designed specifically for natural stone. We carefully remove damaged surface layers, then hone and polish to restore that mirror-like finish you remember.
We complete the work with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Most marble staircase restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on size and condition. We protect surrounding areas with disciplined masking and maintain pristine cleanup standards throughout.

Laurel Hollow’s historic homes present unique challenges. Many feature original marble installations from the early 1900s that require specialized techniques. We understand the composition and characteristics of these older marble varieties and adjust our approach accordingly.
Long Island’s hard water and coastal environment create additional wear on natural stone. Our restoration process accounts for these local conditions, ensuring lasting results that withstand the area’s specific environmental challenges.
Our restoration typically costs 60-80% less than complete replacement. While new marble installation runs $70-190 per square foot on Long Island, our professional restoration delivers superior results at a fraction of that cost.
When you factor in demolition expenses, disposal costs, potential structural repairs, new materials, and installation labor, replacement becomes extremely expensive. Many Laurel Hollow homeowners facing $15,000-30,000 replacement quotes discover our restoration achieves better results for under $5,000.
Beyond cost savings, restoration often gives you superior results because many older homes have higher-grade marble than what’s commonly available today.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We get excited about challenging projects that other contractors avoid – the older and more complex, the better we like it.
We’ve been restoring century-old marble in Nassau County homes since 1998. Many of the installations in Laurel Hollow’s historic properties are irreplaceable, so restoration becomes the only viable option for preserving these architectural treasures.
Our approach preserves original character while addressing modern needs. This might mean matching century-old installation techniques, sourcing period-appropriate materials, or working around structural considerations that didn’t exist when the marble was first installed.
Most of our marble staircase restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on the size and condition of your stairs. A typical residential staircase with standard wear takes 1-2 days, while larger installations or extensive damage may require additional time.
The timeline includes all phases: assessment, preparation, restoration work, and final sealing. Unlike replacement projects that can take weeks and create major disruption, we complete our restoration work efficiently with minimal impact on your daily routine.
You can typically use your restored staircase within 24-48 hours after we complete the work. The protective sealer cures fully within a week, during which normal use is fine but heavy cleaning should be avoided.
Heavy foot traffic is the primary culprit, creating scratches and wear patterns that dull the marble’s surface over time. Moving furniture, luggage, and everyday use gradually wear down the polished finish.
Long Island’s hard water compounds the problem. Mineral deposits from cleaning and environmental exposure build up on marble surfaces, making them increasingly difficult to clean and maintain.
Age plays a significant role too, especially in Laurel Hollow’s older homes. Marble installed 50-100 years ago may have different characteristics than modern stone, requiring specialized restoration techniques that preserve the original material’s integrity while bringing back its beauty.
In many cases, yes. Our professional restoration allows us to take the time needed to achieve optimal results, addressing issues that may have existed from the original installation.
Restored marble often looks better than new because our restoration process brings out the natural character and depth that develops in marble over time. We can eliminate imperfections while preserving the unique patina that gives historic marble its distinctive beauty.
The protective sealer we apply during restoration makes routine cleaning easier and helps prevent the staining and etching that originally damaged your marble. You get surfaces that are actually more resistant to future damage than they were originally.
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates for all marble restoration projects in Laurel Hollow. Our owner personally assesses your staircase condition, explains exactly what needs to be done, and provides detailed, transparent pricing.
You’ll receive an itemized proposal within 24 hours that breaks down every aspect of the work and associated costs. No hidden fees, no surprise charges during the work, no pressure tactics.
