Harbor Isle’s beautiful waterfront homes, many built in the 1950s, contain some of the most challenging marble restoration projects we see.

The final step is professional sealing with commercial-grade products that create a protective barrier against future damage.

Our marble walls restoration service addresses every aspect of bringing your stone back to life. We handle deep cleaning, stain removal, scratch elimination, and complete surface refinishing. The process includes professional sealing to prevent future water damage and etching.
Harbor Isle homes face unique challenges from the marine environment. Salt air, humidity, and the age of many properties create specific problems that require specialized knowledge. We understand how these factors affect different types of marble and adjust our restoration techniques accordingly.
You receive a detailed assessment, transparent pricing, and direct communication throughout the project. No surprises, no hidden costs, no subcontractors. Just professional restoration that brings your marble walls back to their original beauty while protecting them against future damage.
Most marble wall restoration projects in Harbor Isle take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. Shower walls typically require one full day, while larger areas like kitchen backsplashes may need additional time.
The process is done entirely on-site using dust-free equipment, so there’s minimal disruption to your daily routine. We work efficiently while ensuring every detail is perfect. You can usually use your restored spaces the same day we finish, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy use to allow the sealing to fully cure.
Harbor Isle’s older homes sometimes present unique challenges that can extend the timeline slightly, but we always provide realistic expectations upfront during the free assessment.
Yes, we can completely eliminate water stains, etching, and soap scum buildup from marble shower walls. These problems are extremely common in Harbor Isle bathrooms due to hard water and the marine environment, but they’re absolutely fixable with professional restoration.
Etching occurs when acidic substances eat into the marble surface, creating dull spots that can’t be cleaned away with regular products. We use diamond grinding and polishing techniques to actually remove the damaged surface layer and restore the original shine. Water stains and mineral deposits are eliminated through deep cleaning and professional-grade restoration compounds.
The key is professional sealing after restoration. We apply commercial-grade sealers that create a protective barrier against future water damage, etching, and staining. This prevents the same problems from recurring and keeps your shower walls looking perfect for years.
Restoration is almost always the better choice for Harbor Isle homeowners, both financially and practically. Professional restoration typically costs 60-80% less than full replacement while achieving identical results. You get surfaces that look brand new without the massive disruption of demolition and reinstallation.
Harbor Isle’s older homes often contain marble that’s no longer available or extremely expensive to match. Restoration preserves the original character and craftsmanship while bringing the stone back to perfect condition. This is especially important for historic properties where maintaining authenticity matters.
Replacement also means weeks of construction, dust, noise, and contractors in your home. Restoration is completed in 1-2 days with minimal disruption. You avoid the risks that come with major renovation projects while getting results that are indistinguishable from new installation.
The most common causes in Harbor Isle homes are water damage, improper cleaning products, and the natural aging process. Hard water leaves mineral deposits that build up over time, while acidic cleaners actually eat into the marble surface, creating permanent etching that looks like dull spots or water marks.
Harbor Isle’s marine environment adds another layer of complexity. Salt air and high humidity accelerate certain types of damage, especially in bathrooms and kitchens. Soap scum, shampoo residue, and cleaning products create a perfect storm for marble deterioration when combined with constant moisture exposure.
Many homeowners unknowingly use the wrong cleaning products, thinking they’re helping maintain their marble. Products containing vinegar, lemon, or other acids cause immediate etching damage. Even some products labeled as “natural stone cleaners” can be too harsh for delicate marble surfaces.
Yes, we stand behind our restoration work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both workmanship and materials. As an owner-operator business established since 1998, our reputation depends on delivering lasting results that exceed expectations.
Our warranty covers the restoration work itself – if the finish doesn’t hold up or problems develop due to our workmanship, we’ll return to make it right at no cost. The professional sealing we apply is guaranteed to protect against staining and etching for years when properly maintained.

You work directly with the craftsman who did the work, and we’re invested in your complete satisfaction. Harbor Isle homeowners have trusted us for decades because we deliver on our promises.
Marble wall restoration costs vary based on the size, condition, and complexity of your project, but most Harbor Isle homeowners invest between $8-15 per square foot for professional restoration. This typically includes deep cleaning, surface restoration, polishing, and protective sealing.
A standard shower restoration usually ranges from $800-1,500, while kitchen backsplashes vary based on square footage and complexity. These costs are significantly less than replacement, which often runs $25-50 per square foot plus demolition, disposal, and installation labor costs.
We provide detailed, written estimates after assessing your specific situation. There are no hidden costs or surprise charges – the price we quote is the price you pay. Harbor Isle’s unique challenges sometimes require specialized techniques, but we explain everything upfront so you can make an informed decision about your investment.
