Your marble staircase will have that mirror-like finish you remember when it was new. Every scratch, etch mark, and stain removed through our proven restoration process.
The natural veining and patterns in your marble will be vibrant again. No more dull, cloudy appearance that makes your elegant staircase look tired and worn.
You’ll walk up stairs that feel solid, look stunning, and add real value back to your Captree home. The kind of restoration that makes guests stop and notice.
We’ve been restoring historic floors and staircases across Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 25 years. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say “it can’t be fixed.”
What makes us different? We personally oversee every single project. No subcontractors, no surprises, no excuses.
Long Island’s Gold Coast mansions and historic homes require specialized knowledge. We understand the unique challenges of Captree’s coastal environment and the craftsmanship that went into these century-old staircases. We were featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise.
First, we assess your staircase completely. Every crack, scratch, and stain gets documented so you know exactly what we’re fixing and why.
Next comes the grinding and honing phase. We remove years of damage using diamond-grade equipment, bringing your marble back to a perfectly smooth surface. This is where most scratches and etching disappear.
Then we polish using progressively finer diamond compounds. This is what brings back that deep, natural shine marble is famous for. Your stairs start looking like new stone again.
Finally, we seal everything with professional-grade protection. This keeps your restored staircase looking perfect and makes future maintenance much easier.

Every marble staircase restoration we do includes complete surface preparation, crack and chip repair, professional grinding and honing, multi-stage polishing, and protective sealing.
Captree’s historic homes often feature original Carrara marble or other premium stone from the early 1900s. These materials require specific techniques that preserve their character while eliminating decades of wear.
We also handle the structural elements – loose treads, damaged risers, and failing mortar joints. Your staircase needs to be safe and solid, not just beautiful.
Our service includes complete cleanup and protection of surrounding areas. We know you’re living in your home during the restoration, so we keep dust and debris contained.
Most marble staircase restorations take 2-4 days depending on the size and condition of your stairs. We work efficiently but never rush the process.
Day one typically involves assessment, setup, and initial grinding. Days two and three cover the detailed honing and polishing work. Final sealing and cleanup happen on the last day.
We schedule projects to minimize disruption to your daily routine. If you have a main staircase, we can often work in sections so you’re never completely cut off from upper floors.
Most marble staircases can be restored rather than replaced, even when they look beyond repair. We’ve successfully restored stairs with deep cracks, missing chunks, and severe etching.
The key is proper assessment and using the right techniques for each type of damage. Chips and cracks get filled with color-matched compounds. Deep scratches are ground out during the restoration process.
Replacement is usually only necessary when the structural integrity is compromised or when more than 60% of the marble surface is damaged. In 25 years, we’ve recommended replacement less than 5% of the time.
Marble is naturally soft and porous, making it vulnerable to several types of damage over time. Heavy foot traffic creates micro-scratches that build up and make the surface look dull.
Acidic substances are marble’s biggest enemy. Anything with citric acid, vinegar, or wine can cause etching – those dull spots that look like water marks but won’t wipe away.
Long Island’s coastal environment adds salt exposure and humidity changes that can accelerate wear. Plus, many older homes have marble that’s never been properly sealed, making staining and damage much worse.
Marble staircase restoration typically costs 60-80% less than replacement while delivering better results. Most projects range from $15-35 per square foot depending on the condition and complexity.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing after assessing your specific staircase. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before any work begins.
The investment pays for itself quickly. Restored marble staircases add significant value to Captree homes and eliminate the need for costly replacement. Most clients tell us they wish they’d called us years earlier.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve worked on staircases in Gold Coast mansions, century-old estates, and historic buildings throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
Early 1900s marble requires different techniques than modern stone. The quarrying methods, composition, and installation techniques were all different back then. We understand these nuances and adjust our process accordingly.
Many historic marbles have unique characteristics – veining patterns, color variations, or mineral inclusions that need special handling. We’ve developed techniques specifically for preserving these original features while eliminating damage.
Properly restored and sealed marble staircases typically stay beautiful for 8-12 years with normal residential use. High-traffic areas might need touch-up polishing every 5-7 years.
The key is proper sealing and maintenance. We provide specific care instructions that help your investment last as long as possible. Simple things like using the right cleaning products make a huge difference.
Most of our clients schedule maintenance polishing every few years rather than waiting for damage to accumulate. This approach keeps stairs looking perfect and actually costs less over time than major restoration work.
