Your countertops don’t need replacing—they need the right expertise. Most damage that looks permanent can actually be repaired so well you’ll never know it was there.

You keep your kitchen functional throughout the process. No weeks of eating takeout, no demolition dust, no construction chaos. Just skilled restoration that brings your surfaces back to life in 1-2 days.
We’ve been serving Nassau County’s most discerning homeowners since 1998. We specialize in the kind of challenging restoration work that matches the character of Plandome Heights’ historic homes.
Our owner-operated approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen, not subcontractors. When you’re investing in a home worth $1.8 million, you deserve restoration work that reflects that quality.
Featured in the New York Times for our expertise, we understand that Plandome Heights residents expect excellence. Your countertops receive the same meticulous attention we’ve brought to century-old floors and premium stone surfaces throughout the Gold Coast.
We start with a thorough assessment of your countertops’ condition and discuss exactly what results you can expect. No surprises, no upselling—just honest evaluation of what’s possible.
Our restoration begins with professional cleaning to remove years of buildup and stains. We then address specific damage: chips get filled with color-matched materials, etching gets polished out with specialized compounds, and cracks get sealed permanently.
The final step involves polishing your entire surface to a consistent finish and applying protective sealants. You’ll see the transformation happen in real-time, and we don’t consider the job complete until you’re completely satisfied with the results.

Your countertop restoration includes everything needed to bring surfaces back to showroom condition. We handle marble, granite, quartz, and other natural stone materials with techniques developed over decades of experience.
In Plandome Heights, where colonial homes from the 1930s and 1940s often feature original or vintage stone work, we understand the importance of preserving character while delivering modern performance. Your restored countertops will look authentic to your home’s era while meeting today’s durability standards.
Every project includes professional steam cleaning, damage repair, complete polishing, and protective sealing. We also provide maintenance guidance specific to your stone type and household usage patterns, ensuring your investment lasts for years to come.
Professional restoration typically costs 70-80% less than full replacement. While new countertops in Plandome Heights can easily cost $3,000-$8,000 or more for quality materials, restoration usually runs $800-$1,500 for similar surface area.
The savings become even more significant when you factor in the disruption costs of replacement. No need to relocate appliances, no weeks without a functional kitchen, and no disposal fees for perfectly good stone. You get better-than-new results at a fraction of replacement cost.
Yes, most etching and staining can be completely eliminated with professional techniques. Etching appears as dull, cloudy spots where acids have reacted with marble’s surface—this is actually surface-level damage that responds very well to specialized polishing compounds.
Stains are different from etching and require extraction techniques, but even deep-set stains from wine, coffee, or oils can usually be removed with professional-grade treatments. The key is understanding what type of damage you’re dealing with and using the appropriate restoration method.
We’ve successfully restored countertops that homeowners thought were ruined beyond repair. Most surface damage that looks permanent can actually be corrected by experienced professionals.
Most residential countertop restoration projects are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of your surfaces. This is dramatically faster than replacement, which can take weeks when you factor in ordering materials, scheduling demolition, and installation.
Simple polishing and sealing can often be done in a single day, while more extensive repairs involving chips or cracks might require an additional day. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring thorough, quality results.
Your kitchen remains functional throughout most of the process, and we’ll coordinate timing to work around your schedule and household needs.
This confusion costs homeowners thousands in unnecessary replacements. Stains are dark patches where liquids like wine or coffee have been absorbed into the stone—these can usually be removed with professional cleaning or extraction treatments.
Etching is dull, cloudy spots caused by acids reacting with marble’s calcium carbonate composition. Etching feels smooth but looks different from the surrounding surface. Both problems are repairable, but they require different approaches.
Understanding this difference helps you avoid panic-replacing countertops that can actually be restored. Stains need extraction techniques while etching needs polishing and refinishing. Both are well within the scope of professional restoration.
Properly restored countertops often look better than new because we can achieve finishes and consistency that weren’t possible during original installation. Our restoration process addresses every imperfection and brings the entire surface to uniform condition.
We use professional-grade polishing compounds and techniques that create mirror-like finishes superior to factory processing. Color-matched repairs blend so seamlessly that even we have trouble finding them after completion.
Many clients tell us their “new” countertops look better than when they were first installed. Professional restoration doesn’t just fix damage—it optimizes the entire surface for both appearance and performance.
We specialize in natural stone materials including marble, granite, limestone, travertine, and other stone surfaces. We also work with engineered materials like quartz, though the restoration techniques differ from natural stone.
Our expertise extends beyond basic countertops to include marble tub decks, stone vanities, and other premium surfaces found in Plandome Heights homes. Each material requires specific knowledge of its composition and appropriate restoration methods.
We don’t work with laminate or tile countertops, as these materials require different skill sets. Our focus on stone and engineered materials allows us to deliver the specialized expertise that premium surfaces deserve.
