The scratches are gone. The dull spots that made you cringe when guests walked through your entryway? They’re polished smooth and reflective again. That bathroom floor you’ve been avoiding showing people—it looks like it did when your house was new.
Marble floor restoration isn’t about making do with what you have. It’s about getting back what you thought was lost. Most homeowners in Cedarhurst don’t realize that etching, staining, and surface damage aren’t permanent. They’re fixable. And fixing them costs a fraction of what you’d spend tearing out and replacing perfectly good stone.
You’re not just getting a service. You’re getting your floors back—the ones you fell in love with when you bought the house, or the ones you inherited and want to honor. The ones that match the 1940s character of your home. The ones worth keeping.
We’ve been restoring marble floors across Nassau County since 1998. We’re not a cleaning company that dabbles in stone work. We’re a restoration company—owner-operated, fully licensed and insured, and featured in the New York Times for the work we do on historic floors.
Cedarhurst’s housing stock is mostly post-war—1940s and 1950s homes with original marble that’s seen decades of wear. We understand what those floors need because we’ve worked on hundreds of them. The coastal humidity, the hard water, the specific wear patterns that show up in Long Island homes—we know how to address all of it.
When you call, you’re talking directly to the person who will oversee your project. No subcontractors. No surprises. Just transparent pricing and someone who’s been doing this for over 35 years.
First, we come out to look at your floors. Not to sell you—to assess what’s actually needed. We’ll tell you if it’s a simple polish or a full restoration. You’ll get a detailed estimate, usually within 24 hours, with transparent pricing and a clear timeline.
Once we start, we handle 99% of the work on-site using water-based, dustless techniques. That means no mess, no hauling your marble away, and no wondering if it’ll come back looking right. For most residential projects in Cedarhurst, we’re done in one to three days depending on the scope. A straightforward polish might take hours. A full restoration of a damaged historic floor takes longer.
The process itself involves honing out scratches and etching, polishing the surface back to its original finish, and sealing it to protect against future damage. We’re not buffing or coating—we’re actually repairing the stone at the surface level. When we’re done, your marble looks and feels the way it should. And it’s backed by a warranty that protects your investment long-term.

We handle everything from bathroom floor restoration to full entryway refinishing. If your marble is scratched, etched, stained, or just dull from years of foot traffic, we can bring it back. We also work on countertops, historic floors over 100 years old, and concrete polishing—a newer service we’ve added for homeowners who want that same high-end finish on modern materials.
In Cedarhurst and the Five Towns area, we see a lot of vintage French Tudor and 1920s-style homes with original marble that’s been neglected or improperly maintained. These floors weren’t meant to be replaced. They were built to last. Our job is to make sure they do—by restoring them the right way, with techniques we’ve refined over decades of working with historic stone.
You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all treatment. Every floor is different. Every project gets the attention it needs. And because we’re owner-operated, you’re working directly with someone who cares about the outcome as much as you do. We’re local. We’re accountable. And we’re not going anywhere.
Restoration typically costs 60 to 80 percent less than replacing your marble floors entirely. If you’re looking at $10,000 to $15,000 for new marble installation, you’re probably looking at $2,000 to $4,000 for professional restoration—sometimes less depending on the condition and square footage.
Replacement also means demolition, disposal, downtime, and the risk of not finding marble that matches your home’s original character. In Cedarhurst, where so many homes have vintage stone from the 1940s and 1950s, matching that look with modern materials is nearly impossible. Restoration keeps what you have and brings it back to life. It’s faster, cleaner, and far more cost-effective.
The worse the damage, the more dramatic the transformation—and the more you save by restoring instead of replacing. If another company told you the marble needs to be ripped out, get a second opinion. Most damage is fixable.
Yes. Scratches and etch marks are physical damage to the surface of the marble, not stains. That means no amount of cleaning will fix them—but honing and polishing will. We use a process that gently removes the damaged layer of stone and refinishes the surface to a smooth, polished state.
Etch marks usually come from acidic substances like wine, citrus, or harsh cleaners. They’re common in bathroom floors and kitchen countertops. Scratches come from grit, furniture, and everyday wear. Both are fixable as long as the marble itself is structurally sound.
The process doesn’t weaken the stone or remove significant material. It’s a surface-level repair that restores the original finish. Once we’re done, the scratches and etching are gone—and with proper sealing and maintenance, they’re far less likely to come back.
Most residential marble floor polishing projects in Cedarhurst take one to three days, depending on the size of the area and the level of restoration needed. A simple polish on a small bathroom floor might be done in a few hours. A full restoration on a large entryway or multiple rooms takes longer.
We work on-site using dustless, water-based methods, so there’s minimal disruption to your home. You don’t need to move out or avoid the area for weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
The timeline also depends on what we’re fixing. If we’re just polishing and sealing, it’s faster. If we’re honing out deep scratches, removing stains, or repairing damage on a 100-year-old historic floor, it takes more time. But we move efficiently, and we don’t leave until the job is done right.
Cleaning removes dirt, grime, and surface-level buildup. Restoration repairs damage. If your marble is just dirty, cleaning might be enough. If it’s scratched, etched, dull, or stained, you need restoration.
A lot of homeowners in Cedarhurst try scrubbing harder or switching cleaning products when their marble looks bad. That doesn’t work because the problem isn’t dirt—it’s damage. Etch marks are caused by acid eating into the stone. Scratches are caused by abrasion. Dullness is caused by wear. None of those things can be cleaned away.
Restoration involves honing the surface to remove damage, polishing it back to a high shine, and sealing it to protect against future issues. It’s a specialized process that requires the right equipment, the right techniques, and experience working with natural stone. Cleaning companies that offer “restoration” services often use harsh abrasives or acids that make the problem worse. If you’re not sure what your marble needs, we’ll come out and tell you honestly.
Yes. Historic floor restoration is actually our specialty. The older the floor, the more we’re interested. We’ve worked on 100-year-old marble in homes across Nassau County, including plenty of vintage properties in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns area.
Older marble requires a different approach than modern stone. It’s often softer, more porous, and more sensitive to aggressive techniques. A lot of companies will either refuse to work on it or use methods that damage it further. We’ve spent 35 years refining techniques that restore historic marble without compromising its character.
If your home was built in the 1940s or 1950s and still has original marble floors, those floors are worth preserving. They’re part of your home’s history and architectural identity. We treat them that way. And because we’re owner-operated, you’re working directly with someone who understands the value of what you have—and how to bring it back.
No. We use water-based, dustless techniques that keep the mess to a minimum. You’re not dealing with clouds of dust or debris tracked through your house. We complete 99 percent of the work on-site, so there’s no hauling stone away and waiting for it to come back.
Most homeowners are surprised by how clean the process is. We protect surrounding areas, work efficiently, and clean up thoroughly when we’re done. You can usually resume normal use of the space within a day or two, depending on the scope of the project.
The biggest disruption is simply having someone working in your home for a day or two. But compared to the mess and downtime of a full replacement—demolition, disposal, installation, grouting, sealing—it’s a fraction of the hassle. And because we’re local to Nassau County and familiar with homes in Cedarhurst, we know how to work respectfully in your space.
