Your marble staircase can look stunning again without the expense and disruption of full replacement. Professional restoration removes scratches, eliminates etching, and brings back that mirror-like finish you remember.
North Hills homes, many dating back to the early 1900s, feature the region’s natural Inwood marble – the same stone quarried for Manhattan’s federal buildings. This historic material deserves craftsmen who understand its unique properties and preservation requirements.
The difference shows immediately. Restored marble stairs don’t just look better – they feel safer underfoot, add genuine value to your property, and preserve the architectural character that makes your home distinctive.
We’ve specialized in bringing damaged stone back to life for over 25 years. Our company was featured in The New York Times in October 2001, recognizing our expertise in historic floor restoration.
What sets us apart is simple: we personally oversee every project. No subcontractors, no miscommunication, no surprises. When you call, you’re talking directly to the craftsman who will restore your marble stairs.
North Hills’ rich marble heritage demands this level of expertise. The area’s Victorian homes and turn-of-the-century architecture require specialists who understand both the technical aspects of stone restoration and the historical significance of preserving these materials properly.
First, we conduct a thorough assessment to identify the exact condition of your marble stairs. You’ll receive transparent pricing upfront – no estimates that balloon later, no hidden fees, no surprises.
The restoration begins with careful preparation and masking to protect your home. Using specialized diamond abrasives and refined techniques developed over 35 years, we methodically hone and polish each step. Deep scratches disappear, etching vanishes, and that original luster returns.
The final step involves sealing the restored surface to protect against future staining and etching. Your space stays protected and pristine throughout the entire process, with disciplined cleanup ensuring your home looks better than when the work began.

Our marble staircase restoration includes complete surface refinishing, scratch removal, etch repair, and protective sealing. We also offer stair maintenance programs designed specifically for North Hills’ historic homes.
Given the area’s concentration of early 1900s architecture, many properties feature original marble installations that require specialized care. These materials were often quarried locally from the region’s Inwood marble deposits, making proper restoration techniques even more critical.
Our service extends beyond basic polishing to include structural repairs, nosing restoration, and matching work for partial replacements when necessary. Each project receives the same attention to detail, whether it’s a single residential staircase or a multi-story historic building restoration.
Marble staircase restoration typically costs between $10 to $25 per square foot, depending on the extent of damage and complexity of the work. Unlike many contractors who provide estimates that change, we provide transparent pricing upfront.
The final cost depends on factors like the size of your staircase, the severity of scratches or etching, and whether additional services like sealing are needed. Historic marble stairs in North Hills often require specialized techniques that preserve the stone’s original character, which is factored into the pricing.
You’ll receive a detailed quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No surprises, no hidden fees, no estimates that mysteriously increase once the project starts.
Yes, even severely damaged marble stairs can often be restored to like-new condition without replacement. Professional restoration can remove deep scratches, repair chips, eliminate etching, and restore the original finish – often at a fraction of replacement cost.
The key is having craftsmen who understand marble’s properties and have the right equipment. Using specialized diamond abrasives and techniques refined over 35 years, even stairs that look beyond hope can be brought back to life.
Replacement should be the last resort. Restoration preserves the original character of your North Hills home while delivering results that often look better than new installation. Plus, you avoid the disruption, mess, and expense of tearing out and replacing entire staircases.
Most marble staircase restoration projects are completed within one to two days, depending on the size and condition of the stairs. The process is methodical but efficient, designed to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Smaller residential staircases often take just one day, while larger or more complex projects may require two days. The timeline includes all steps: assessment, preparation, restoration, sealing, and complete cleanup.
You’ll know the exact timeline before work begins. Our disciplined approach to masking and cleanup means your home stays protected throughout the process, and you can use your stairs again as soon as the work is complete.
Professional marble restoration uses dustless systems and careful masking to protect your home completely. Our disciplined approach to preparation means your walls, floors, and furnishings stay pristine throughout the entire process.
Modern restoration equipment captures dust and debris at the source, preventing it from spreading throughout your home. Careful masking protects adjacent surfaces, and thorough cleanup ensures your space looks better than when the work began.
This isn’t a messy, disruptive process. We personally oversee every project to ensure quality standards and protection protocols are followed. Your home’s interior remains undamaged and clean throughout the restoration.
Historic floor restoration is actually our specialty focus, particularly for North Hills’ turn-of-the-century homes and Victorian architecture. These properties often feature original Inwood marble – the same stone quarried locally for Manhattan’s federal buildings.
Historic marble requires different techniques than modern stone. The goal is preserving the original character while bringing surfaces back to life. This means understanding the stone’s age, composition, and how it was originally finished.
With 35 years of experience and recognition in The New York Times for historic restoration work, we have the specialized knowledge needed for North Hills’ architectural heritage. Each historic project receives the careful attention these materials deserve.
Properly restored and sealed marble stairs require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning with appropriate pH-neutral cleaners and prompt attention to spills will keep your stairs looking beautiful for years.
The protective sealing we apply during restoration helps prevent staining and etching, but it’s not permanent. Depending on traffic levels, resealing every 2-3 years maintains optimal protection. High-traffic areas may need attention sooner.
Simple maintenance makes a huge difference. Avoid acidic cleaners, wipe spills quickly, and use appropriate cleaning products. The investment in professional restoration pays dividends when you maintain the surfaces properly afterward.
