We’ve been restoring marble surfaces in Nassau and Suffolk County since 1998. We specialize in the kind of challenging projects that other companies walk away from – particularly historic floors and staircases that are 100+ years old.
Mount Sinai’s historic homes, with their architectural elements dating back to the 1700s, require a different approach than modern construction. We understand how to work with these delicate materials while preserving their original character. Our owner personally oversees every project, ensuring the quality and attention to detail that your historic property deserves.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, we’ve built our reputation on transparency, craftsmanship, and results. When you work with us, you’re working directly with experienced professionals who treat your home like it’s our own.
First, we assess your marble staircase to understand the specific damage and determine the best restoration approach. We examine scratches, etching, stains, and any structural issues that need attention before we begin work.
Next, we carefully mask and protect all surrounding areas. Your home stays clean and protected throughout the entire process – no dust, debris, or damage to adjacent surfaces.
The restoration process begins with proper cleaning using specialized techniques that remove deep stains without harsh chemicals. We then address scratches and etching through precision honing and polishing, gradually bringing back the marble’s natural shine and smoothness.
Finally, we apply protective sealing that helps prevent future damage while maintaining the stone’s breathability. The entire process typically takes one to three days depending on the size and condition of your staircase, and you can use your stairs within hours of completion.

Your marble staircase restoration includes complete assessment, professional cleaning, scratch and etch removal, precision polishing, and protective sealing. We handle every step from initial evaluation to final cleanup, leaving your stairs restored and your home pristine.
In Mount Sinai’s historic homes, we often encounter unique challenges like original mortar, period construction techniques, and marble varieties that aren’t commonly used today. Our experience with these older materials means we know how to work with them safely and effectively.
You’ll receive transparent pricing upfront – no surprises or hidden costs. We provide free quotes with detailed explanations of what work is needed and why. Our owner-operated approach means you communicate directly with the craftsman doing the work, not through multiple layers of management or subcontractors.
The restoration process is designed to minimize disruption to your daily routine while delivering results that protect your investment for years to come.
Most marble staircase restoration projects in Mount Sinai take one to three days, depending on the size of your staircase and the extent of damage. Simple polishing and sealing might be completed in a single day, while staircases with significant scratching, etching, or staining may require additional time.
We work efficiently while maintaining the quality standards your historic home deserves. The process involves multiple steps – cleaning, honing, polishing, and sealing – each requiring proper drying time between applications. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your free consultation based on your staircase’s condition.
Your stairs are typically ready for normal use within a few hours of completion, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy traffic to allow the protective sealer to fully cure.
Yes, most marble staircases can be restored to like-new condition without replacement, even when they look severely damaged. We specialize in restoration projects that bring marble back to life rather than tearing it out and starting over.
Restoration addresses scratches, etching, stains, and dullness through professional cleaning, honing, and polishing techniques. Even marble that appears beyond saving often responds beautifully to proper restoration methods. The process costs a fraction of replacement while preserving the original character of your Mount Sinai home.
However, we’ll be honest about cases where replacement makes more sense – such as when structural damage compromises safety or when the cost of restoration approaches replacement costs. During your free assessment, we’ll explain exactly what’s possible with your specific staircase.
We repair scratches, etching from acidic substances, water stains, general discoloration, and dull spots that make marble look worn and tired. Our restoration process addresses both surface-level damage and deeper issues that penetrate into the stone.
Etching from cleaning products, wine, or other acidic substances is one of the most common problems we see in Mount Sinai homes. This creates dull, rough spots that feel different to the touch. Our honing and polishing process removes these damaged layers and restores the smooth, glossy finish.
We also handle chips, cracks, and missing pieces using color-matched repair compounds that blend seamlessly with the surrounding marble. The key is using the right techniques and materials for your specific type of marble and the particular damage it has sustained.
Marble staircase restoration typically costs 60-80% less than complete replacement while delivering results that look like new installation. The exact savings depend on your staircase size, marble type, and the extent of restoration needed.
Replacement involves demolition, disposal, new material costs, and installation – often running $15,000-$40,000 or more for a typical Mount Sinai home staircase. Restoration addresses the same visual and functional issues at a fraction of that cost while preserving the original character of your historic home.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing during your free consultation. You’ll know exactly what the restoration will cost before we begin any work, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Most homeowners are amazed at both the cost savings and the quality of results restoration provides.
Yes, we specialize in historic marble restoration and have extensive experience with Mount Sinai’s older homes, including properties with architectural elements dating back to the 1700s. Historic marble often requires different techniques than modern stone due to variations in quarrying, cutting, and installation methods.
Older marble may have unique characteristics like different hardness levels, unusual veining patterns, or period-specific finishes that need special attention. We understand these nuances and adjust our restoration approach accordingly to preserve the original character while bringing the stone back to life.
Our experience with historic properties means we also understand the importance of protecting surrounding woodwork, plaster, and other period features during the restoration process. We take extra care to ensure your home’s historic integrity remains intact throughout the project.
We use disciplined masking and containment procedures to minimize dust and protect your home during restoration. Professional-grade plastic sheeting, dust barriers, and specialized equipment keep the work area contained while protecting your furniture, floors, and belongings.
Our restoration process generates some dust during honing and polishing phases, but we use dust collection systems and wet polishing techniques whenever possible to control airborne particles. We also clean as we work rather than leaving cleanup until the end.
You can expect your home to remain livable during the restoration process. We respect that you’re living in your home and take steps to minimize disruption to your daily routine. Our goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it, with beautifully restored marble stairs and no trace of construction mess.
