Our diamond restoration process removes damage layer by layer, working through progressively finer grits until we reach undamaged marble. We can repair chips and cracks using color-matched materials that blend seamlessly with your original stone.
Replacement costs thousands more than restoration and destroys the historic character of your Brightwaters home. In 25+ years, we’ve only encountered a handful of staircases too damaged to restore. Most can be brought back to their original beauty at a fraction of replacement cost.
Etching occurs when acidic substances contact marble, literally dissolving the surface and creating dull, rough spots. Common culprits include cleaning products, wine, coffee, and even some soaps. This damage appears as white or dull spots that feel rough to the touch.
Scratching happens from abrasive materials dragged across the marble—furniture legs, pet claws, grit from shoes, or improper cleaning tools. In Brightwaters homes, we often see damage from moving furniture up and down stairs without proper protection.
The key is understanding that marble is calcium carbonate, which reacts with acids. Once you know this, prevention becomes easier. But when damage does occur, professional restoration is the only way to truly eliminate etching and deep scratches.

Historic marble restoration is our specialty. We’ve worked on marble staircases in Brightwaters homes dating back to the early 1900s, including many Tudor and Colonial properties with original stone installations.
Older marble often requires different techniques than modern stone. We understand the composition, installation methods, and proper restoration approaches for vintage materials. Our experience with century-old marble means we can restore your staircase while preserving its historic authenticity.
We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our historic restoration expertise. When you’re dealing with irreplaceable historic marble, you want craftsmen who understand both the technical and historical aspects of proper restoration. That’s exactly what we provide.
Proper maintenance starts with using only pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone. Never use vinegar, lemon-based cleaners, or generic household cleaners that can etch marble. We provide specific product recommendations and detailed care instructions.
Daily maintenance involves dust mopping or vacuuming to remove grit that can scratch the surface. For cleaning, use a damp mop with stone-safe cleaner, then dry thoroughly. Address spills immediately, especially acidic substances like wine or coffee.
Professional resealing every 2-3 years maintains protection against staining and etching. We offer maintenance programs to keep your restored staircase looking perfect. With proper care, your restored marble staircase will maintain its beauty for decades while preserving your Brightwaters home’s historic value.
