Walk into your bathroom and see shower walls that gleam without a trace of hard water stains or soap buildup. Your kitchen backsplash marble catches light like it did the day it was installed, free from the cooking residue that made it look tired and neglected.
This isn’t about making old marble look new—it’s about bringing out the beauty that’s been hiding under years of improper care. When we restore marble walls in Centerport’s historic homes, we preserve the character while eliminating the problems.
You get surfaces that resist future staining, require less maintenance, and add genuine value to your waterfront property. No more worrying about permanent damage from cleaning products or watching beautiful stone deteriorate.
We specialize in the kind of marble walls restoration that Centerport’s historic properties demand. We’re the owner-operated team that understands what it takes to work with marble in homes built in the 1930s, 1940s, and beyond.
Featured in the New York Times and trusted by the Garden City Hotel for over 16 years, we’ve built our reputation on projects that other contractors won’t touch. The worse the condition, the better we like the challenge.
Centerport’s coastal environment and historic architecture require expertise that goes beyond standard cleaning. We know how salt air affects marble, how to work with installation techniques from decades past, and most importantly, how to preserve the character that makes these homes special.
First, we assess your marble walls to identify the stone type, installation method, and specific damage. Historic marble in Centerport homes often has unique characteristics that require specialized approaches. We never assume one technique fits all situations.
Our restoration phase removes years of damage using methods that won’t harm the underlying stone. We eliminate hard water deposits, soap scum, cooking stains, and etch marks through careful grinding, honing, and polishing. This is dust-free work that won’t disrupt your daily routine.
Finally, we apply protective sealing designed for Long Island’s coastal environment. This guards against future damage from humidity, salt air, and daily use while allowing the marble’s natural beauty to show through. You get surfaces that stay beautiful longer with less maintenance.

Our marble walls restoration service covers every surface in your home. Shower wall restoration eliminates the hard water buildup and mold concerns common in Long Island bathrooms. Kitchen backsplash marble restoration removes cooking stains and grease that standard cleaning can’t touch.
For Centerport’s historic properties, we specialize in preservation-quality work that maintains original character. This means understanding installation techniques from different eras and working with marble that may have unique properties or vulnerabilities.
We also handle the moisture-related challenges that affect coastal properties. Our sealing process protects against the humidity and salt air that can accelerate marble deterioration in waterfront communities. Every project includes comprehensive cleanup and protection of surrounding areas.
Marble walls restoration typically costs $5-15 per square foot for comprehensive work, though simple polishing may run $1-7 per square foot. Historic marble common in Centerport homes often requires specialized techniques that may increase costs slightly.
The investment makes sense when you consider alternatives. Complete marble replacement can cost $25+ per square foot, plus the disruption and potential damage to surrounding areas. Professional restoration extends your marble’s life by decades while preserving the character that replacement can’t match.
We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific situation. Every project is different, and factors like stone condition, area size, and restoration complexity all influence final pricing. You’ll know exactly what work is needed and why before we begin.
Absolutely. We use dust-free restoration methods specifically designed for enclosed spaces like bathrooms. Our equipment and techniques eliminate the mess and disruption typically associated with marble restoration work.
We protect surrounding areas during restoration, so fixtures, tiles, and other bathroom elements stay clean and undamaged. Most clients are surprised by how little disruption the process actually involves. You typically don’t need to vacate your home or make major accommodations.
The key is using professional-grade equipment and techniques developed over 26 years of working in Long Island homes. We understand that your bathroom needs to remain functional, and we plan accordingly.
Historic marble requires completely different techniques than modern stone. We’ve spent decades learning to work with marble installed 50, 75, or even 100 years ago, understanding that these surfaces have unique characteristics and potential vulnerabilities.
Our approach preserves the aged character while bringing the marble back to a well-maintained appearance. We avoid making historic surfaces look “too new,” which can actually detract from your home’s historical value and authentic character.
This specialized knowledge is why properties like the Garden City Hotel have trusted us exclusively for over 16 years. We understand that historic marble isn’t just a surface—it’s part of your property’s story and value.
Long Island’s hard water is a major culprit, creating mineral deposits that dull marble surfaces over time. In bathrooms, soap scum compounds the problem. Kitchen backsplashes suffer from cooking residue and grease buildup that penetrates the stone.
The biggest mistake homeowners make is using improper cleaning products. Many common cleaners are acidic and actually etch marble surfaces, causing permanent damage that looks like staining but is actually surface erosion. Even natural substances like lemon juice or vinegar cause this damage.
Centerport’s coastal location adds another challenge—salt air and humidity accelerate these problems. Without proper maintenance and sealing, marble deteriorates faster in waterfront properties than inland locations.
Most marble walls restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on area size and restoration complexity. Simple cleaning and polishing can often be completed in a single day, while comprehensive restoration involving repair work requires more time.
For historic marble, we never rush the process. These surfaces have survived decades and deserve methodical restoration that preserves their integrity. We’ll provide a realistic timeline during our assessment, factoring in any unique challenges your specific marble presents.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption, but quality always comes first. Proper restoration is an investment in your property’s future, not a quick fix. The results last for years when done correctly.
Yes, we offer maintenance programs specifically designed for Long Island’s coastal environment. Regular professional maintenance is crucial for preserving marble walls in Centerport, where salt air and humidity accelerate wear and damage.
