You get your kitchen back without the mess, expense, and months-long process of a full renovation. The surfaces feel smooth to the touch, reflect light properly, and match the rest of your home’s premium finishes.
Most importantly, you can use your kitchen normally while the restoration happens, and the results last for years with proper care.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring natural stone surfaces in Shinnecock Hills, NY since 1998. Other contractors call us when they encounter challenging projects they can’t handle.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the expert doing your job, not a salesperson. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, and we specialize in historic properties and difficult materials that require real expertise.
The worse the condition, the better we like the challenge. While others might tell you to replace everything, we see the potential in damaged stone and know exactly how to bring it back to life.
First, we assess your countertops and explain exactly what we can achieve. You receive a free quote with transparent pricing and realistic timelines.
We start by addressing any structural issues, then move through progressively finer grits to remove scratches, stains, and etching. For marble and natural stone, we use diamond polishing compounds to restore the original finish and luster.
The final step involves sealing the surface to protect against future damage. Most countertop restoration jobs take one to two days, and you can use your surfaces normally within 24 hours. We provide complete cleanup and maintenance guidance.

Shinnecock Hills, NY homes often feature historic materials and custom installations that require specialized knowledge. We understand how these surfaces were originally finished and what techniques work best for long-term results.
You also get direct communication throughout the project, cleanup of all work areas, and guidance on proper maintenance. We use professional-grade equipment and materials that aren’t available to general contractors or DIY approaches.
Yes, in most cases. We specialize in countertops that look beyond repair. Scratches, stains, etching, and dullness can almost always be corrected with proper restoration techniques.
The key is understanding what’s actually damaged versus what just looks bad on the surface. Most “ruined” countertops have damage that only goes a few millimeters deep, which we can polish out completely.
We’ll assess your specific situation during the free quote and be honest about what’s possible. If we can’t restore it properly, we’ll tell you upfront.
Most restoration jobs take one to two days versus weeks or months for replacement. You can use your kitchen normally within 24 hours of completion.
Replacement involves demolition, potential plumbing/electrical work, templating, fabrication, and installation. That’s typically 3-6 weeks if everything goes smoothly, plus the mess and expense.
Restoration happens in place with minimal disruption. We protect surrounding areas, complete the work efficiently, and clean up completely when finished.
Restoration typically costs 30-50% of replacement, depending on the scope of work needed. For premium materials common in Shinnecock Hills, NY, the savings can be substantial.
High-end marble or granite replacement can easily cost $8,000-15,000 or more when you include demolition, disposal, and installation. Professional restoration usually runs $2,000-5,000 for the same surfaces.
You also avoid the hidden costs of replacement like potential cabinet modifications, plumbing adjustments, and the time value of having your kitchen out of commission for weeks.
Absolutely. Professional restoration creates a finish that’s as durable as the original surface, often better because we use modern sealing technology.
The key is proper technique and materials. We use diamond polishing compounds and commercial-grade sealers that provide long-lasting protection against stains, scratches, and etching.
With normal care, restored surfaces last for years before needing any touch-up work. We’ll show you how to maintain the finish and what products to use for daily cleaning.
This is actually our specialty. We’ve worked on 100+ year old materials and historic properties throughout the area. The more challenging the project, the better we like it.
Historic stones often require different techniques than modern materials. We understand how these surfaces were originally finished and what restoration methods work best for long-term results.
Whether it’s original marble from the early 1900s or unusual stone varieties, we have the experience and equipment to handle materials that other contractors won’t touch.
We handle both structural repairs and cosmetic restoration. Chips, cracks, and even missing pieces can usually be repaired seamlessly before polishing.
The repair process involves filling damaged areas with color-matched compounds, then blending and polishing to match the surrounding surface. Most repairs are invisible when completed properly.
For extensive damage, we’ll assess whether restoration makes sense versus replacement. But in most cases, even surfaces with significant chips and cracks can be restored to like-new condition.
