Imagine walking into your bathroom or kitchen and seeing marble walls that actually sparkle again. No more embarrassing stains that won’t come out. No more dull, lifeless surfaces that make your whole room look tired.
Your restored marble will catch light like it did when it was first installed. Guests will ask if you renovated, but you’ll know the truth—you just found someone who actually knows how to bring marble back to life.
The best part? Your walls stay protected for years because proper restoration includes sealing that makes future maintenance simple.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been the go-to choice for Shelter Island Heights marble restoration since 1998. The New York Times featured our work, and clients like the Garden City Hotel have trusted us exclusively for over 16 years.
What sets us apart is owner involvement on every job. No subcontractors or rotating crews—just experienced craftsmen who’ve spent decades perfecting our approach to historic stone restoration.
Shelter Island Heights’ beautiful older homes often feature original marble that’s over 100 years old. This isn’t the kind of work you trust to a general cleaning company. It requires understanding how these materials age and what restoration methods actually work without causing damage.
First, we evaluate every inch of your marble to understand what’s causing the problems. Stains, scratches, etching, and cracks all require different approaches, and getting this assessment right determines everything that follows.
The restoration itself uses specialized diamond grinding equipment that removes damage layer by layer. Think of it like refinishing a hardwood floor, but for marble. We repair cracks with perfectly color-matched materials and eliminate stains that have been set in for years.
Finally, we polish your marble back to its original finish and seal it properly. You’ll be able to use your space normally within 24 hours, and the results last for years when maintained correctly.

Our service covers marble shower walls, bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and any decorative marble wall installation in your home. Each area gets specific treatment based on its unique challenges and usage patterns.
Living near the water creates extra problems for marble. Salt air and humidity accelerate deterioration, especially in shower areas where moisture is constant. Professional restoration addresses these environmental factors with marine-grade sealers that actually work in coastal conditions.
Historic Shelter Island Heights properties often have rare marble varieties that you simply can’t replace today. Restoration preserves these irreplaceable materials while bringing them back to their original beauty. It’s the only way to maintain both the value and character of these unique installations.
Most marble wall restoration in Shelter Island Heights homes takes 1-2 days total. Shower walls typically finish in one day, while larger backsplash projects might need an extra day depending on the extent of damage.
You can plan around it easily because we use dustless equipment and clean up completely each day. For bathroom projects, you’ll be back to normal use within 24 hours. No living in a construction zone for weeks like you’d face with replacement.
We’ll give you exact timing during the consultation so you know what to expect. No surprises, no delays—just professional work completed on schedule.
Absolutely. Etching from acidic cleaners is actually one of the most common problems we fix in Long Island homes. Many people don’t realize that standard bathroom cleaners destroy marble over time.
The restoration process removes the damaged surface completely and reveals the perfect marble underneath. Then we polish it back to the original finish. Unless the damage goes extremely deep, etching can be eliminated entirely.
You’ll also learn how to clean marble properly going forward. Most people are shocked to discover they’ve been damaging their marble for years with products that seemed harmless.
Because cleaning companies destroy marble. They use harsh chemicals and scrubbing methods that cause permanent damage to natural stone. What looks like cleaning is actually controlled destruction of your expensive surfaces.
Real marble restoration requires diamond grinding equipment and specialized polishing compounds that most contractors don’t even know exist. It’s not cleaning—it’s rebuilding the marble surface from the inside out.
After 26 years of fixing damage caused by inexperienced contractors, we’ve seen every mistake possible. The difference in results is dramatic when you work with someone who actually understands natural stone.
Restoration runs about 20-30% of replacement cost, sometimes even less. When you factor in demolition, disposal, new materials, and installation, replacement gets expensive fast—especially for custom or historic marble.
The bigger savings come from avoiding the disruption. Replacement means weeks of construction mess, dust everywhere, and finding somewhere else to shower. Restoration gets you back to normal in 1-2 days.
For historic properties, restoration also preserves original character that you simply cannot replicate with new materials. That has value beyond just the money saved.
Historic marble restoration is our specialty. We’ve worked on century-old installations throughout Long Island, including many of the grand homes that define Shelter Island Heights’ character.
Historic marble presents unique challenges because the stone varieties and installation methods aren’t used anymore. You need someone who understands both the original craftsmanship and modern restoration technology to do the work properly.
The New York Times featured our historic restoration work, which speaks to our expertise in preserving these irreplaceable installations. Each historic project gets special attention to maintain authenticity while solving modern functionality problems.
Maintained marble is actually easier to care for than damaged marble. The sealing applied during restoration helps prevent stains and makes routine cleaning much more effective.
Daily maintenance is simple: use pH-neutral stone cleaners and avoid anything acidic. No vinegar, no lemon-based products, no standard bathroom cleaners. Stick to stone-specific products and your marble stays beautiful.
We provide detailed care instructions and product recommendations after every job. Follow the guidelines and your restoration investment pays dividends for years. Ignore them and you’ll need restoration again sooner than necessary.
