Your floors look the way they did when your home was built. The character stays. The craftsmanship stays. The value increases.
Most historic homes in Nassau County have marble floors that are 100+ years old. Those floors were made with materials and techniques you can’t replicate today. When you restore them properly, you’re not just fixing a surface – you’re preserving something irreplaceable.
Restoration costs less than replacement, takes less time (most jobs finish in under two days), and keeps the authentic details that buyers pay premium prices for. You avoid the mess of demolition, the cost of new materials, and the regret of losing what made your home unique in the first place.
The alternative is tearing out floors that can’t be replaced with anything close to the original quality. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has spent over 25 years working on historic properties throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. We’re owner-operated, which means the person who quotes your job is the same person overseeing the work.
We were featured in the New York Times in 2001 for our restoration work. Since then, we’ve built our reputation on jobs other companies won’t touch – the older, the more damaged, the more complex, the better.
Wyandanch and the surrounding areas have plenty of historic homes with original marble, terrazzo, and stone floors. We know how these materials age, what problems show up after a century of use, and how to fix them without causing more damage. You’re not getting a cleaning company that dabbles in restoration. You’re getting specialists who do this full-time.
First, we assess the condition of your marble. We’re looking for cracks, stains, etching, and any structural issues that need attention before we start polishing. This step matters because historic floors often have hidden problems that only show up under the right conditions.
Next, we repair any damage. Cracks get filled, chips get addressed, and stains get treated with the right products for your specific type of marble. We don’t use harsh acids or abrasives that eat away at the stone – those shortcuts cause permanent damage.
Then we start the restoration process. We use diamond abrasives in stages, starting coarse and working finer, to remove scratches and level the surface. This is where experience matters most. Too aggressive, and you remove too much material. Too cautious, and you don’t fix the problem.
Finally, we polish and seal. The marble gets brought up to the finish level you want – matte, satin, or high gloss. We protect your space throughout the process with careful masking and cleanup. Most jobs wrap up in less than two days, and you’re left with floors that look like they just came out of the quarry.

You get a full assessment before we start any work. We tell you exactly what’s wrong, what we can fix, and what it’ll cost. No surprises, no upselling, no hidden fees.
The restoration itself covers everything your floors need: crack repair, stain removal, honing, polishing, and sealing. We handle marble in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and any other room in your Wyandanch home. If you’ve got terrazzo, limestone, or other natural stone, we work with those too.
We also offer concrete restoration and polishing – a newer service that’s becoming popular for basements, garages, and commercial spaces in the area. Same process, same attention to detail, just a different material.
What you won’t get is a crew that shows up, does half the job, and disappears. We’re owner-operated, so there’s direct accountability from start to finish. Your space gets masked and protected. The work gets done right. And when we leave, your floors look the way they should.
Historic homes in Nassau County are appreciating faster than newer construction in many neighborhoods. Keeping original features like marble floors in good condition is one of the smartest investments you can make. Buyers notice. Appraisers notice. You’ll notice every time you walk through your front door.
Cost depends on the size of the area, the condition of the marble, and what level of finish you want. Most residential jobs in Wyandanch range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Restoration almost always costs less than replacement. Ripping out old marble and installing new flooring means paying for demolition, disposal, new materials, and installation. You’re easily looking at double or triple the cost of restoration, plus you lose the original floors.
We give you transparent pricing upfront after we assess the job. You know what you’re paying before we start any work. No surprises, no hourly rates that spiral out of control. Just a clear quote based on what your floors actually need.
Yes. The worse the floor, the better the job is for us. We specialize in restoration work that other companies turn down.
Stains, scratches, etching, cracks, dullness – these are all fixable problems. Some marbles have more natural defects than others, especially in historic installations. Even hidden cracks can show up gradually over time. After 100 years, most of those issues have already revealed themselves, which actually makes the job more straightforward.
What we can’t fix is marble that’s been destroyed by improper cleaning or restoration attempts. Harsh acids and aggressive abrasives can remove too much material or create damage that’s irreversible. That’s why it matters who you hire. Marble restoration is a skilled trade, and inexperienced contractors can ruin your floors permanently.
Most residential marble restoration jobs in Wyandanch take less than two days. Smaller areas like bathrooms can be done in a few hours. Larger spaces or floors with extensive damage might take longer.
The timeline depends on the size of the area and the scope of the work. If we’re just polishing and sealing, it’s faster. If we’re repairing cracks, removing deep stains, and honing before polishing, it takes more time.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we quote the job. We don’t rush through the process to hit an arbitrary deadline. The work gets done right, at the pace it needs to be done. But we also understand you don’t want contractors in your home for weeks. That’s why we focus on efficiency without cutting corners.
Absolutely. Marble in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways can all be restored. Wet areas actually benefit the most from professional restoration because water exposure tends to etch and dull marble over time.
Bathrooms in historic Wyandanch homes often have original marble floors that have been neglected or improperly cleaned for decades. Soap scum, hard water stains, and etching from acidic cleaners are common problems. All of that can be fixed.
After we restore the marble, we seal it to protect against future water damage and staining. The seal isn’t permanent – it needs to be reapplied every few years depending on use – but it makes a significant difference in how the marble holds up in wet conditions. You get a floor that looks great and performs better than it did before.
Honing gives you a matte or satin finish. Polishing gives you a glossy, reflective finish. Both involve grinding the marble with diamond abrasives, but polishing takes the process further to create shine.
Honing is often preferred in bathrooms and high-traffic areas because it’s less slippery and hides wear better. Polishing is popular in entryways and formal spaces where you want that classic, elegant look. It’s really a matter of personal preference and how the space gets used.
We can match the original finish of your historic floors, or we can change it if you want something different. Some homeowners in Nassau County prefer a honed finish for safety and practicality. Others want the high-gloss look that makes marble feel luxurious. Either way, we’ll walk you through the options and show you examples so you know exactly what you’re getting.
No. We work on marble floors of any age, but our specialty is historic restoration. If your Wyandanch home has 100-year-old marble, that’s our ideal project. If you have newer marble that needs repair or refinishing, we handle that too.
We also restore terrazzo, limestone, travertine, and other natural stone. And we’ve added concrete restoration and polishing to our services – a growing request from homeowners and commercial property owners in the area who want durable, attractive floors without the cost of new materials.
What we don’t do is porcelain. If your floors are porcelain tile made to look like marble, we’re not the right fit. But if you’ve got real stone – old or new, damaged or just dull – we can bring it back to life. Call us for a free quote, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s possible with your floors.
