You get floors that look better than they have in years. Not just cleaner—actually restored. The scratches disappear. The dull spots shine again. The etching from years of the wrong cleaners gets corrected.
Most jobs take one to two days. You’re not living in a construction zone for weeks while contractors rip out and replace everything. You’re watching someone who knows what they’re doing bring back what was already there.
And if your marble is original to the house—especially in older North Lindenhurst homes—you’re keeping something that can’t be replicated. The veining, the color, the craftsmanship. That’s not something you find at a big box store. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Restoration costs less than replacement. It’s faster. And if the marble is worth saving, it’s the smarter move.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring marble floors across Nassau and Suffolk Counties since 1998. We’re not a cleaning company that dabbles in stone work. This is what we do.
The owner oversees every job. You’re not dealing with subcontractors who learned this last month. You’re working with someone who’s been featured in the New York Times and has spent over two decades fixing floors that other contractors won’t touch.
North Lindenhurst has plenty of older homes with original marble that’s seen better days. We’ve worked on floors that homeowners thought were beyond saving. The worse the condition, the better we make them look. That’s not a sales line—it’s what we’re known for.
First, we assess the damage. Not every floor needs the same treatment. Etching, scratches, stains, and dullness all require different approaches. We figure out what’s actually wrong before we start grinding away.
Then we restore the surface. Depending on the condition, that might mean honing out deep scratches, removing years of buildup, or re-leveling uneven areas. We use professional-grade equipment—not the stuff you rent at a hardware store.
After that, we polish. This is where the floor starts looking like marble again instead of worn stone. We bring back the shine using a process that’s controlled and precise, not aggressive.
Finally, we protect your space while we work. Marble restoration creates dust and requires water. We mask off areas, protect your furniture, and clean up completely when we’re done. You shouldn’t have to spend days cleaning up after us.
Most jobs finish in one to two days. You’ll know the cost upfront. No surprises, no upselling once we’re halfway through.

You get a full assessment of what’s damaged and what’s causing it. Sometimes it’s the wrong cleaning products. Sometimes it’s water damage, especially in North Lindenhurst homes near the water where humidity affects basement and ground-level installations.
We handle scratches, etching, dullness, stains, and uneven surfaces. If your bathroom floor has soap scum buildup or hard water deposits, we remove that too. Long Island’s water is tough on marble—it leaves mineral deposits that regular cleaning won’t touch.
The work includes honing, polishing, and a final protective treatment. We also cover concrete restoration and polishing if you’ve got a basement or garage floor that needs attention.
What you won’t get is a crew of subcontractors who don’t know your floors from the last job. You get the owner on-site, transparent pricing before we start, and floors that actually look restored when we leave.
We’ve been doing this for over 25 years. Our first client—the Garden City Hotel—has used us exclusively for more than 16 years. That doesn’t happen if you’re cutting corners.
Most residential marble floor restoration projects take one to two days. That includes assessment, surface prep, honing or grinding if needed, polishing, and cleanup.
The timeline depends on the size of the area and the condition of the marble. A small bathroom might be done in a day. A large foyer or living room with significant damage could take two days.
Compare that to replacement, which can take weeks once you factor in demo, disposal, ordering new material, and installation. Restoration is faster because we’re working with what’s already there. You’re not waiting on shipping delays or dealing with mismatched stone.
Yes. This is one of the most common problems we see. Most household cleaners are too acidic for marble and will etch the surface over time. That’s what causes the dull spots and faded areas that won’t buff out no matter how much you scrub.
We remove the damaged layer through a process called honing, which grinds down the surface just enough to eliminate the etching. Then we re-polish the marble to bring back the shine.
It’s not a quick fix you can do yourself. Honing requires professional equipment and experience. Done wrong, you’ll make it worse. Done right, the floor looks like the damage never happened. We’ve been doing this since 1998, so we know how to get it right the first time.
Almost always, yes. Replacement means paying for demolition, disposal, new material, and installation. Marble isn’t cheap, and neither is the labor to install it correctly.
Restoration costs a fraction of that because we’re not ripping anything out. We’re fixing what’s there. You’re paying for expertise and equipment, not new stone and construction crews.
There’s also the value factor. If your marble is original to an older North Lindenhurst home, it’s probably higher quality than what you’d buy today. Historic marble has characteristics—veining, color, density—that modern material doesn’t match. Keeping it adds value to your property. Replacing it with something generic does the opposite.
Polishing is the final step in restoration, but it’s not the whole process. Polishing brings back shine on marble that’s in decent shape. If your floors just look dull but don’t have scratches, stains, or etching, polishing might be all you need.
Restoration is more involved. It includes honing to remove damage, repairing cracks or chips, treating stains, and then polishing. If your marble has been neglected for years or damaged by the wrong products, polishing alone won’t fix it.
Think of it this way: polishing is like waxing a car. Restoration is like fixing the dents and repainting before you wax. We assess your floors and tell you what’s actually needed. We’re not going to upsell you on a full restoration if polishing will do the job.
Yes. Bathrooms are one of the most common areas we restore, especially in North Lindenhurst homes where hard water and humidity create problems.
Marble in bathrooms takes a beating. Soap scum, shampoo, and mineral deposits build up over time. Most people use cleaners that are way too harsh, which etches the marble and makes it look cloudy or dull.
We remove the buildup, treat the etching, and restore the shine on both floors and walls. If you’ve got Thassos, Carrara, or any other marble in your bathroom that doesn’t look like it used to, we can bring it back. The process is the same as floor restoration—honing, polishing, and protecting the surface so it lasts.
That’s our specialty. We’ve been restoring floors in 100-year-old homes since 1998. Historic marble requires a different approach than modern installations because the materials and techniques used back then aren’t the same.
Older marble is often softer or more porous. The setting bed underneath might be different. The finish might have been done by hand, not machine. If you don’t understand those differences, you can do permanent damage.
We know how to work with historic floors without destroying what makes them valuable. The New York Times featured us in 2001 specifically because we take on the difficult restoration jobs that other contractors avoid. If your North Lindenhurst home has original marble that needs help, we’ve probably seen worse and made it look better.
