Shelter Island’s exclusive island community deserves restoration specialists who understand both the technical demands of marble work and the importance of maintaining your property’s distinguished character. That’s exactly what you get with our hands-on approach.
First, we evaluate your marble walls to identify the specific issues – whether it’s etching from cleaning products, stains from hard water, or surface damage from years of use. This assessment determines exactly what restoration methods will bring back the original finish.
Next, we clean and prepare the surface using specialized techniques that remove deep stains, soap scum, and mineral deposits without damaging the marble. For shower walls and backsplash areas, we pay special attention to grout lines and caulking that often harbor mold and discoloration.
Finally, we restore the marble through grinding, honing, and polishing as needed. The process brings back the original luster while addressing any chips, scratches, or etched areas. We finish with professional sealing to protect against future staining and ensure your restored marble walls maintain their beauty.

Our marble walls restoration includes comprehensive cleaning, repair, and refinishing of all marble surfaces. We handle shower walls, kitchen backsplashes, bathroom vanity areas, and any other marble wall installations throughout your Shelter Island property.
Shelter Island’s historic homes often feature original marble installations that require specialized care. Many of these surfaces have endured decades of exposure to salt air, humidity, and various cleaning products that can cause etching and discoloration. Our restoration process addresses these specific environmental factors.
We also provide concrete restoration and polishing services for those unique architectural elements found in many island properties. Whether your marble walls are part of a historic renovation or you’re maintaining a luxury modern installation, our owner-operated approach ensures every detail receives proper attention.
Yes, we regularly restore marble shower walls with severe hard water staining and mineral buildup. The process involves specialized cleaning compounds that dissolve mineral deposits without etching the marble surface.
We start by identifying the specific type of staining and buildup you’re dealing with. Hard water stains, soap scum, and mineral deposits each require different treatment approaches. Many homeowners try harsh bathroom cleaners that actually make the problem worse by etching the marble.
Our restoration process removes these deposits completely and then polishes the marble back to its original finish. We also re-grout and re-caulk as needed, then apply professional-grade sealing to prevent future staining and make regular maintenance much easier.
Historic marble restoration requires a completely different approach than working with modern installations. We’ve been restoring 100-year-old marble surfaces since 1998, so we understand the unique challenges these projects present.
Older marble installations often have different composition and finishing techniques than modern stone. The marble may have been quarried from different sources, installed with different materials, or finished using methods no longer common today. We evaluate each historic installation individually.
Our restoration process preserves the original character while bringing back functionality and beauty. We use techniques that respect the historical integrity of the installation while addressing modern performance needs. The goal is marble walls that look authentic to the period but perform reliably for decades to come.
Our marble backsplash restoration includes complete cleaning, stain removal, repair of any chips or scratches, re-grouting, and professional polishing to restore the original finish. We also seal the surface to protect against future staining from cooking oils and food spills.
Kitchen backsplashes face unique challenges from grease, acidic foods, and frequent cleaning. Over time, this exposure can cause etching, staining, and grout discoloration that makes even expensive marble look tired and worn.
We remove all surface contaminants, repair any damage, and restore the marble to its original luster. The process includes color-matching any repairs so they’re virtually invisible. Finally, we apply appropriate sealing that protects against kitchen-specific staining while maintaining the natural beauty of the stone.

Absolutely. Etching damage from acidic cleaners is one of the most common marble problems we restore. Many homeowners unknowingly use bathroom or kitchen cleaners that contain acids, which permanently etch marble surfaces and create dull, rough spots.
The good news is that etching damage can be completely restored through proper honing and polishing techniques. We remove the damaged surface layer and restore the marble to its original smooth, polished finish. The process requires specialized equipment and expertise to achieve professional results.
Prevention is equally important, so we educate homeowners about proper marble care and provide recommendations for safe cleaning products. We also apply appropriate sealing that provides some protection against future etching while maintaining the natural beauty and feel of the marble surface.
