The transformation happens faster than you expect—usually within 1-2 days—and costs a fraction of replacement. You get back the luxury feel of pristine stone without the disruption, mess, or expense of demolition and reinstallation.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring Nassau County’s most challenging stone surfaces for over 25 years. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say “it can’t be fixed.”
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the craftsman doing the work—no middlemen, no subcontractors, no miscommunication. Every project gets the same attention to detail that built our reputation.
We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our expertise in historic restoration. In Roslyn, where homes date back to the 1800s and early 1900s, that experience with century-old materials matters. We understand the unique challenges of Colonial Revival, Victorian, and Tudor-era stonework that defines this historic North Shore community.
First, we assess your countertops and explain exactly what we can accomplish. No surprises, no overselling—just honest evaluation of what’s possible with your specific stone and damage level.
Next comes the restoration work itself. We use diamond grinding and polishing techniques refined over 25 years to remove scratches, eliminate etching, and restore the original finish. Our process works on marble, granite, limestone, and other natural stone surfaces.
Finally, we apply protective treatments that help your restored surfaces resist future damage. You get detailed care instructions and direct access to us for any questions. The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your countertops normally within 24-48 hours after completion.

Our countertop restoration service handles the full spectrum of stone damage common in Roslyn’s historic homes. We repair chips, cracks, and breaks using color-matched materials that blend seamlessly with the original stone.
Etching from acidic spills—a common problem with marble surfaces in kitchens—gets completely eliminated through our grinding and polishing process. Water stains, soap scum buildup, and general dulling from years of use all disappear under our restoration techniques.
For Roslyn homeowners dealing with century-old stone installations, we bring specialized knowledge of historic materials and installation methods. Many of these surfaces were installed using techniques no longer common, requiring expertise that typical contractors simply don’t possess. Our experience with Nassau County’s historic properties means we understand both the challenges and the potential of your stone surfaces.
Countertop restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement, especially when you factor in demolition, disposal, templating, fabrication, and installation of new stone. For a typical kitchen in Roslyn, restoration might run $800-1,500 while replacement could easily reach $4,000-8,000 or more.
The savings become even more significant with historic or unusual stone that’s difficult to match. We’ve restored century-old marble that would be nearly impossible to replicate today, saving homeowners both money and the irreplaceable character of original materials.
Keep in mind that restoration also eliminates the disruption of weeks without a functional kitchen, the mess of demolition, and the risk that new stone won’t match your home’s historic character.
Yes, our diamond grinding and polishing process can eliminate scratches and etching that penetrate well into the stone surface. We use progressively finer diamond pads, starting with coarser grits to remove damage and finishing with ultra-fine polishing compounds to restore the original luster.
The key is having the right equipment and experience. Marble etching from lemon juice, wine, or cleaning products creates a chemical reaction that dulls the surface, but this damage rarely goes deeper than a few thousandths of an inch. Our restoration process removes this damaged layer and reveals the pristine stone underneath.
Even deeper mechanical scratches from knives, pots, or abrasive cleaners can typically be eliminated. We evaluate each situation individually, but in 25+ years of restoration work, we’ve successfully repaired damage that homeowners were certain couldn’t be fixed.
Most countertop restoration projects are completed in 1-2 days, depending on the size of the area and extent of damage. Simple polishing might be finished in a single day, while more extensive repair and restoration work could extend to two days.
We protect your kitchen and adjacent areas with plastic sheeting and use dust collection systems to minimize mess. You’ll have limited access to your countertops during the work, but we coordinate timing to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
After completion, the surfaces need 24-48 hours to fully cure before heavy use, though light use is typically fine within 8 hours. We provide specific care instructions based on the treatments used and your particular stone type.
Historic stone restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve worked extensively on Nassau County’s century-old homes, including many properties in Roslyn’s historic districts that date to the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Historic stone often presents unique challenges—different quarrying methods, installation techniques, and stone compositions than modern materials. Some historic marble has characteristics that require modified restoration approaches. Our experience with these older materials means we understand what works and what doesn’t.
We’ve successfully restored original stone in Colonial Revival, Victorian, and Tudor-style homes throughout the North Shore. In many cases, we’re able to bring these historic surfaces back to better condition than they’ve been in decades, while preserving their authentic character and craftsmanship.
Our comprehensive restoration service includes damage assessment, repair of chips and cracks, grinding to remove scratches and etching, progressive polishing to restore luster, and protective sealing to resist future damage.
We also provide thorough cleanup, detailed care instructions, and ongoing support for maintenance questions. As an owner-operated business, you work directly with the craftsman doing the work, ensuring clear communication throughout the project.
Every project includes a free initial consultation where we evaluate your stone, explain what’s possible, and provide transparent pricing. We use professional-grade equipment and materials, and our work is backed by decades of experience with Nassau County’s most challenging restoration projects.
Yes, we can typically match or even improve upon original finishes, whether your stone was originally polished to a high gloss, honed to a matte finish, or something in between. Our diamond polishing system allows precise control over the final sheen level.
Historic stone often had finishes that were hand-achieved using techniques no longer common. We’ve studied these traditional methods and can replicate them using modern equipment for consistency and durability. In many cases, we can achieve a more uniform finish than the original while maintaining the authentic look.
For unique or unusual historic finishes, we work with you to determine the best approach. Sometimes this means researching the original installation or consulting historical records to understand what the surface should look like when properly restored.
