You keep the floors that give your home its character. The veining patterns, color variations, and craftsmanship in historic marble can’t be replicated with modern materials—and you already own them.
Restoration costs $5 to $15 per square foot. New marble installation runs $70 to $190 per square foot on Long Island. That’s not a small difference when you’re looking at an entire floor.
Most restoration jobs take less than two days. Your bathroom or kitchen isn’t out of commission for weeks. You’re not dealing with demolition dust, disposal trucks, or subfloor repairs. The floor you have gets cleaned, repaired, polished, and sealed—then you’re done.
Restored marble can increase your property value by up to 25%, especially in areas like New Cassel where buyers specifically look for authentic historic features in homes built during Nassau County’s estate era.
We specialize in bringing century-old floors back to life throughout Nassau County. We’ve worked on historic properties across New Cassel, Hicksville, and the surrounding areas—homes built during Long Island’s golden age when marble was installed using techniques you don’t see anymore.
The owner oversees every project personally. You’re not handed off to a crew that doesn’t know your floor’s history or how to handle delicate historic materials. That matters when one wrong product or technique can permanently damage stone that’s been in your home for generations.
We were featured in the New York Times in 2001 for our restoration work. Since then, we’ve refined our process to handle the worst-case floors—the ones other companies say need replacement. Those are actually our specialty.
First, we assess your floor’s condition and give you transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start.
We mask and protect everything around the work area. Our process uses water to keep marble shavings contained—no dust clouds, no mess spreading through your home. Everything gets vacuumed up as we go.
The restoration itself involves grinding away damage, honing the surface smooth, and polishing to the finish level you want. We’re working with the marble you already have, just removing the damaged layer to reveal clean stone underneath. Then we seal it to protect against staining and etching.
Most jobs finish in under two days. You’ll see the difference immediately—dull, scratched, stained marble turns glossy and clean again. The floor looks like it did when it was first installed, but you didn’t pay for demolition, disposal, or new materials.

We handle marble floor polishing, repair, refinishing, and sealing. That includes fixing cracks, filling chips, removing stains, and grinding out scratches or etching from acidic cleaners. If your marble has been damaged by an inexperienced contractor using harsh chemicals, we can often reverse that too.
In New Cassel, we see a lot of original marble in homes built in the 1950s and earlier. These floors have survived decades, but they need specialized care. Different marble types have different mineral compositions—calcite marble is white, hematite makes it red, limonite creates green or yellow tones. Each responds differently to restoration techniques.
We also offer concrete restoration and polishing, which is useful if you’re renovating other areas of your home and want a cohesive look. Our focus stays on historic materials and high-end restoration work—the projects that require real expertise, not just standard cleaning.
You get a free quote, direct communication with the owner throughout the job, and a disciplined approach to protecting your space. We’re not a cleaning company trying to upsell stone services. This is what we do.
Marble restoration typically costs $5 to $15 per square foot in Nassau County. New marble installation runs $70 to $190 per square foot—and that’s before you factor in demolition, disposal, and subfloor work.
For a 200-square-foot bathroom, restoration might cost $1,000 to $3,000. Replacement could easily hit $14,000 to $38,000 for materials and installation alone. The cost difference gets even more dramatic on larger floors.
Restoration also preserves the marble you already own, which matters if your home has historic value. Original materials from Long Island’s estate era can’t be replicated, and buyers pay premium prices for authentic features. Ripping them out to install modern marble actually hurts your property value in many cases.
Most marble floors can be restored unless they’re structurally compromised. Deep cracks, chips, stains, scratches, etching from acidic cleaners—we handle all of that regularly. The worse the floor looks, the more dramatic the transformation.
Marble restoration works by grinding away the damaged surface layer to reveal clean stone underneath. As long as there’s enough thickness left in the marble (and there usually is), we can bring it back. We’ve restored century-old floors that other contractors said were beyond saving.
The only time replacement makes sense is if the marble is broken into pieces, if there’s subfloor damage causing structural issues, or if the stone has worn so thin in high-traffic areas that there’s nothing left to work with. That’s rare. Most floors just need professional restoration, not demolition.
Most residential marble restoration jobs take less than two days. A standard bathroom might be done in one day. Larger floors or more extensive damage can take longer, but you’re still looking at days, not weeks.
The timeline depends on square footage, the condition of the marble, and what finish level you want. High-gloss polishing takes more time than a honed matte finish. Repairs like filling cracks or replacing broken pieces add time too.
Compare that to replacement, which involves demolition, disposal, subfloor inspection and potential repairs, new material installation, grouting, and sealing. You’re easily looking at a week or more with your space out of commission. Restoration keeps disruption minimal—we’re in, we’re out, and your floor is usable again.
Yes, in most cases. Harsh cleaners and acidic products etch marble by dissolving the calcium carbonate in the stone. That leaves dull spots, rough texture, and a cloudy appearance. It looks terrible, but the damage is usually surface-level.
Restoration removes that etched layer by grinding and honing the marble smooth again, then polishing it back to a glossy finish. We see this problem constantly—homeowners or cleaning companies use the wrong products, and the marble gets destroyed. It’s fixable.
The exception is if someone used extremely aggressive acids or abrasives that ate deep into the stone. Even then, we can often restore it, just with more grinding required. The key is catching it before more damage happens. If your marble looks dull or feels rough after cleaning, stop using whatever product caused it and call someone who specializes in stone restoration.
You’ll see visible signs: dullness where the floor used to shine, scratches that catch light, stains that won’t come out with normal cleaning, or rough patches where the surface feels etched. If your marble looks tired or damaged despite regular cleaning, it needs restoration.
Catching problems early saves money. Minor scratches and dullness are quick fixes. Deep staining, extensive etching, or cracks that have spread require more work. If you’re noticing issues, get a professional assessment before the damage gets worse.
In New Cassel, many historic homes have original marble that’s been neglected or improperly maintained for years. Owners assume the floors are ruined and start pricing replacements. Then they find out restoration costs a fraction of that and actually preserves the home’s character. Get a free quote before you make any decisions about replacement.
Marble polishing is the final step in restoration—it’s what creates the glossy finish. Full restoration includes everything before that: grinding away damage, honing the surface smooth, repairing cracks or chips, removing stains, and then polishing.
If your marble just looks dull but has no scratches, stains, or damage, polishing alone might be enough. Most floors need the complete restoration process because they have multiple issues—scratches plus staining plus etching, for example.
Think of it like refinishing hardwood floors. You don’t just slap a coat of polyurethane on damaged wood. You sand it down, repair problems, then apply the finish. Marble works the same way. We assess what your floor actually needs and give you transparent pricing for the right level of work—not upselling services you don’t need, and not skipping steps that would leave you with subpar results.
