You keep the original character of your home. The veining patterns, color variations, and craftsmanship in your floor can’t be replicated with modern materials—especially in Salisbury’s older properties where marble came from quarries that no longer exist.
You avoid the cost and mess of replacement. New marble installation runs $70-190 per square foot on Long Island. Most restoration jobs cost a fraction of that and take less than two days.
Your property value goes up, not sideways. Well-maintained original floors can increase home value by 3-5%. Buyers pay premium prices for authentic, restored features in historic homes—not new marble trying to look old.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc is owner-operated. That means the person who answers your call is the same person overseeing your floor. No middlemen, no subcontractors, no surprises.
We’ve spent over 25 years restoring historic marble throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties, including Salisbury’s older homes. The New York Times featured our work in 2001 because we built our reputation on taking the worst floors and making them look like they were installed yesterday.
Salisbury has its share of vintage properties with original marble floors—some over a century old. These floors have unique installation techniques and materials that differ from modern approaches. You need someone who understands that, not a cleaning company with a buffer.
You get a free quote first. We come to your Salisbury property, assess the condition of your marble, and give you transparent pricing upfront. No guessing, no “it depends” answers.
Then we restore the floor using techniques refined over 35 years. We don’t use harsh acids or abrasives that destroy stone. We address damage from improper cleaning, age-related wear, etching, and hidden defects that show up in century-old installations.
Most jobs finish in under two days. You’re not living in a construction zone for weeks. We treat your floor like it’s our own—because the owner is personally involved in every project from start to finish.
The result is a floor that looks original again, not patched or uneven. You get clear maintenance guidance so it stays that way. And if issues come up later, you’re talking to the same person who did the work.

We handle the full scope of marble restoration and repair. That includes honing, polishing, stain removal, crack and chip repair, and addressing etching from acidic cleaners. If your marble has dull spots, uneven patches, or damage from previous DIY attempts, we fix it.
Salisbury properties near water face specific challenges. Humidity and occasional flooding affect older marble installations differently than modern ones. We account for that during restoration—especially in historic homes where the subfloor and setting bed might be a century old.
We also restore bathroom marble floors, which take more abuse than any other surface in your home. Water exposure, cleaning products, and foot traffic create unique wear patterns. Our marble polishing services bring those surfaces back without replacing tile or disrupting plumbing.
You get direct communication throughout. The owner answers questions, provides updates, and ensures quality control. We’re not a franchise or a national chain—we’re a local marble restoration company that’s been serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties since 1998.
Restore it unless the marble is structurally compromised beyond repair. Replacement means losing the authentic character of your floor forever—and in Salisbury’s historic homes, that’s often marble with veining and color you can’t buy anymore.
Restoration costs less and finishes faster. You’re looking at a fraction of the $70-190 per square foot that new marble installation runs on Long Island. Most restoration jobs take under two days. Replacement means demolition, disposal, subfloor work, new installation, and weeks of disruption.
The exception is if your marble has extensive cracking from foundation movement or water damage that’s rotted the subfloor. In those cases, you’re dealing with structural issues that go beyond the stone itself. But surface damage, etching, dullness, stains—all of that can be restored by someone who knows what they’re doing.
Most jobs finish in one to two days depending on square footage and condition. A standard foyer or bathroom takes less time than a large living area or multiple rooms.
The timeline depends on what we’re fixing. Light polishing and honing go faster than addressing deep etching, stain removal, or repairing cracks and chips. If your marble has damage from years of improper cleaning or hidden defects common in century-old floors, that adds time.
We give you an accurate timeline during the free quote. You’ll know exactly how long we’ll be there before work starts. No surprises, no “we’ll see how it goes” answers. And because the owner oversees every project, we stay on schedule—this isn’t a crew showing up whenever they feel like it.
Yes. Etching from acidic cleaners is one of the most common problems we fix. Household products with vinegar, lemon, or harsh chemicals eat away at marble and leave dull, rough spots that don’t come out with more cleaning.
We restore the surface by honing and polishing the marble back to its original finish. That removes the etched layer and brings back the shine. If the damage is deep, it takes more work—but it’s fixable.
The key is stopping the damage now. A lot of Salisbury homeowners don’t realize their “marble-safe” cleaner isn’t actually safe until the floor is covered in dull patches. Once we restore it, we’ll tell you exactly what to use for maintenance so you’re not back in the same situation a year from now.
That’s our specialty. We’ve restored marble in century-old homes throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties, including Salisbury properties with original installations from the early 1900s.
Historic marble floors have challenges modern installations don’t. The setting bed might be different. The marble itself might be from a quarry that doesn’t exist anymore. Installation techniques varied by era and by craftsman. You need someone who understands those differences—not a cleaning company that treats every floor the same.
We’ve been doing this since 1998, and the owner personally oversees every historic restoration project. The New York Times featured our work because we take floors in the worst condition and bring them back. If your Salisbury home has original marble that’s seen a century of wear, we know how to handle it.
Honing removes scratches, etching, and surface damage by grinding the marble with progressively finer abrasives. It creates a smooth, matte finish. Polishing comes after honing and uses finer compounds to bring out the shine.
Most restoration jobs include both. If your marble is dull, scratched, or etched, honing fixes the damage. Then polishing brings back the glossy finish you’re used to seeing. Some people prefer a honed (matte) finish—it hides wear better and works well in high-traffic areas.
We match the finish to what you want and what makes sense for your floor. A bathroom might benefit from a honed finish because it’s less slippery when wet. A foyer might look better polished. We’ll walk you through the options during the quote so you know exactly what you’re getting.
It depends on square footage, condition, and what needs fixing. Light polishing costs less than full restoration with crack repair and stain removal. We give you transparent pricing upfront during the free quote—no guessing, no “ballpark” numbers that change later.
What we can tell you is that restoration costs a fraction of replacement. New marble installation runs $70-190 per square foot on Long Island. Restoration is significantly less, and you keep your original floor instead of replacing it with new material that doesn’t have the same character.
The best way to get an accurate price is to call us. We’ll come to your Salisbury property, assess the marble, and give you a clear quote before any work starts. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying and what’s included. No surprises.
