You keep the irreplaceable. Those 100-year-old marble floors in your Great Neck Plaza home were installed using techniques that don’t exist anymore. Rip them out, and you lose that character forever—along with a significant piece of your home’s value and story.
Restoration brings them back to life. The dullness disappears. The scratches, etching, and wear get erased. What you’re left with is the same floor, but polished to the finish it had when it was first installed.
And you save serious money doing it. Most homeowners in Nassau County pay 60-80% less restoring their marble floors than they would replacing them. New marble installation runs $70-190 per square foot on Long Island. Restoration? A fraction of that. You get the look you want without the cost, the mess, or the regret of tearing out something you can’t get back.
We’ve specialized in historic marble floor restoration across Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 25 years. We’re not a cleaning company that dabbles in restoration. This is what we do—and we do it on the floors other contractors won’t touch.
The New York Times featured our work back in 2001. The Garden City Hotel has trusted us exclusively for more than 16 years. Those aren’t accidents. They’re the result of showing up, doing the work right, and treating every project like it’s our own.
Great Neck Plaza has countless historic homes with original marble that’s worth saving. We’ve worked on enough of them to know what those floors need—and what they don’t. You get the owner on every job. You get transparent pricing upfront. And you get a floor that looks like it’s supposed to.
First, we assess the floor. Not every marble floor needs full restoration, and we’ll tell you if yours doesn’t. If it does, we walk you through what’s required and give you a transparent quote before any work starts.
Next, we prep and protect your space. Marble restoration involves equipment, water, and dust control. We mask off areas, protect your belongings, and set up containment so the rest of your home stays clean.
Then we restore the surface. We remove scratches, etching, stains, and dullness using a disciplined process that brings the marble back to its original finish. This isn’t a topical coating—we’re actually refinishing the stone itself. Depending on the condition and size, most jobs finish in less than two days.
Finally, we clean up and walk you through care. You’re left with a floor that looks new, guidance on how to maintain it, and no mess to deal with. The marble’s protected, the character’s intact, and you didn’t have to replace a thing.

You get a full evaluation of your marble’s condition and a clear recommendation on whether restoration makes sense or if replacement is actually the smarter move. We’re not here to sell you work you don’t need.
If restoration is the right call, you get the complete process: surface repair, honing or polishing to your preferred finish, stain removal where possible, and sealing if the stone requires it. We also handle marble floor polishing for floors that just need a refresh, not a full restoration.
Great Neck Plaza’s older homes face specific challenges. Hard water from Long Island’s municipal systems leaves mineral deposits. Humid coastal air accelerates wear. Original marble from the early 1900s reacts differently than modern stone. We account for all of it. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach—you’re getting a process tailored to what your specific floor needs based on its age, material, and condition.
We also offer concrete restoration and polishing now, so if you’ve got original terrazzo, concrete, or other historic stone surfaces that need attention, we handle those too.
Restoration typically costs 60-80% less than replacement. New marble installation in Great Neck Plaza runs anywhere from $70 to $190 per square foot depending on the material and complexity. That includes demo, disposal, new stone, labor, and finishing.
Restoration skips all of that. You’re paying for the refinishing process itself—not new materials, not demolition, not reinstallation. For most residential projects, you’re looking at a fraction of replacement cost.
The bigger savings show up long-term. A properly restored marble floor can last another 100 years with basic care. You’re not just saving money now—you’re protecting an asset that increases your property value by 3-5% according to industry data.
Yes—and those are often the most rewarding projects we take on. The marble in older Great Neck Plaza homes was quarried and installed using methods that don’t exist anymore. The stone itself is often higher quality than what’s available today.
Age isn’t the problem. Damage is. If the marble is cracked beyond repair, has missing sections, or has been destroyed by harsh chemicals or improper cleaning, restoration might not be possible. But dullness, scratches, etching, stains, and surface wear? All fixable.
We’ve restored marble floors in historic properties throughout Nassau County that other contractors said were too far gone. The worse the floor, the better the result—because there’s more room to bring it back. If your floor is salvageable, we’ll restore it. If it’s not, we’ll tell you that too.
Most residential marble restoration projects in Great Neck Plaza finish in less than two days. Smaller areas like bathrooms or entryways might take a single day. Larger spaces or floors in really rough condition could take longer.
The timeline depends on square footage, the severity of damage, and the finish you want. Honing (a matte finish) is faster than polishing (a high-gloss finish). If there are deep stains or repairs needed, that adds time.
We’ll give you an accurate timeline upfront during the estimate. Once we start, we work efficiently and clean up completely before we leave. You’re not dealing with a drawn-out process or a mess that lingers for weeks.
Absolutely. Bathroom marble floors are some of the most common restoration projects we handle. They take a beating from water, soap, shampoo, and cleaning products—all of which can etch and dull marble over time.
The process is the same as any other marble restoration, but bathrooms require extra attention to detail. We protect fixtures, manage water carefully, and ensure proper ventilation during the work. Most bathroom floors restore beautifully because the marble itself is usually in decent shape underneath the surface damage.
If you’ve got marble in your shower, on your vanity, or around your tub that’s looking rough, we can restore that too. It’s all part of the same service. Bathroom floor restoration is one of the highest-impact projects you can do—it completely changes how the space looks and feels.
Restore if the marble is original, historic, or high-quality—and if it’s not structurally damaged. Replace if the stone is cracked beyond repair, if sections are missing, or if you genuinely want a different material or color.
Here’s the reality: most homeowners in Great Neck Plaza who think they need replacement actually just need restoration. What looks “ruined” is often just surface damage. Dullness, scratches, etching, and stains don’t mean the marble is done—they mean it needs professional attention.
Replacement makes sense if you’re doing a full remodel and changing the layout, or if the existing marble is genuinely too damaged to save. But if you’re replacing because the floor looks bad, get an assessment first. You might be able to restore it for a fraction of the cost and keep the character that makes your home worth more.
Polishing is surface-level. It brings back shine and smoothness on marble that’s in decent shape but has lost its finish over time. Think of it as a refresh—your floor looks better, but we’re not fixing deep damage.
Restoration goes deeper. It involves honing, repairing scratches and etching, removing stains, and refinishing the stone from the surface down. You’re not just making it shiny—you’re actually fixing damage and bringing the marble back to its original condition.
If your floor is dull but otherwise fine, polishing might be all you need. If it’s scratched, stained, or etched, you need restoration. We’ll assess your floor and recommend the right approach. There’s no point paying for restoration if polishing will get you the result you want—and there’s no point polishing a floor that needs real repair work.
