Your marble walls will look exactly like they did when first installed – maybe even better. The dull, stained, or etched surfaces that frustrated you every day become smooth, lustrous, and protected against future damage.
You’ll walk into your bathroom or kitchen and actually feel proud of how it looks. No more avoiding certain angles or lighting that highlight the problems. No more explaining to guests why your expensive marble looks so worn down.
The transformation happens faster than you’d expect, and the results last for years when properly maintained. Your investment in quality marble gets the expert care it deserves.
We’ve been restoring marble walls and surfaces across Long Island for over 25 years. We’re not a cleaning company that dabbled into stone work – we’re stone restoration specialists who’ve made this our life’s work.
Our owner handles your project directly, which means the person who quotes your job is the same expert who does the work. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, and our very first client, the Garden City Hotel, has used our services exclusively for over 16 years.
South Floral Park homeowners choose us because we understand the unique challenges that Long Island’s coastal environment creates for natural stone. The humidity, the hard water, the age of many homes in this area – we’ve seen it all and know exactly how to address each situation.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble walls to identify the specific issues – whether it’s etching from acidic cleaners, hard water stains, soap scum buildup, or general wear and tear. This tells us exactly which restoration techniques will work best for your particular situation.
Next comes the actual restoration work. We use specialized diamond grinding and honing equipment to remove surface damage, followed by polishing to restore the original luster. For shower walls and backsplashes, we also address grout issues, re-caulking where needed, and apply appropriate sealers.
The entire process typically takes 1-2 days, and you can use your restored surfaces the next day. We handle all the masking and cleanup ourselves – you won’t find dust or debris left behind. We also walk you through proper maintenance techniques to keep your newly restored marble walls looking their best.

Our marble walls restoration service covers everything from shower walls and bathroom vanity backsplashes to kitchen marble walls and decorative accent walls throughout your home. We work with all types of marble, from classic Carrara to exotic varieties, and can restore surfaces to either a high-gloss polish or a more subtle honed finish based on your preference.
South Floral Park homes often feature marble installations that are decades old, and we specialize in bringing these historic surfaces back to life. We’re particularly skilled at working with the marble commonly found in Long Island homes from the early to mid-1900s, understanding both the stone characteristics and the installation methods used during those eras.
What sets our service apart is the attention to detail that comes from owner-operated craftsmanship. We don’t rush through jobs or cut corners with inferior materials. Every project gets the same meticulous care, whether it’s a small powder room or an entire master bathroom suite.
Most marble wall restoration projects take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the size of the area and extent of damage. We can usually restore a typical bathroom’s marble walls in a single day.
You’ll be able to use your restored surfaces the next day in most cases. We work efficiently because we understand you don’t want your bathroom or kitchen out of commission for long periods.
The timeline also depends on whether additional work like grout repair or re-caulking is needed. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during our initial assessment so you can plan accordingly.
Yes, hard water damage is one of the most common issues we address with marble shower walls in South Floral Park. Long Island’s water can be particularly challenging for marble surfaces, creating those white, chalky buildup spots that regular cleaners can’t remove.
We use specialized techniques to remove mineral deposits without damaging the marble underneath. This often involves careful grinding and polishing to eliminate the etching that acidic water can cause over time.
After restoration, we apply appropriate sealers and provide guidance on maintenance products that work well with your local water conditions. Many of our clients are amazed at how much brighter and cleaner their shower walls look once the hard water damage is properly addressed.
Marble wall restoration typically costs a fraction of what you’d pay for complete replacement. When you factor in demolition, disposal, new marble, installation, and all the associated work like plumbing adjustments and repainting, replacement can easily cost 5-10 times more than restoration.
Restoration also avoids the weeks of disruption that come with a full replacement project. You’re not dealing with contractors tramping through your house for days, dust everywhere, or being unable to use your bathroom or kitchen for extended periods.
Plus, if your existing marble is quality stone that was properly installed, restoration often produces better results than replacement with today’s thinner, lower-grade materials. We’ve restored marble walls that are now more beautiful than when they were first installed 20-30 years ago.
We can repair virtually any type of marble wall damage including etching from acidic cleaners, scratches, chips, cracks, stains, soap scum buildup, hard water deposits, and general dulling from age and use. Each type of damage requires specific techniques and equipment.
Etching and scratches require grinding and polishing to level the surface. Chips and small cracks can often be filled and blended seamlessly. Stains may need specialized removal techniques depending on what caused them.
The key is proper diagnosis during our initial assessment. What looks like staining might actually be etching, or what appears to be permanent damage might be surface-level issues that restore beautifully. We’ve seen marble walls that homeowners thought were beyond saving come back to look absolutely stunning.
Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We love working on older homes in South Floral Park because these properties often have beautiful, high-quality marble that was installed with superior craftsmanship decades ago.
Older marble installations present unique challenges that require experience and knowledge of both the stone characteristics and installation methods from different eras. We understand how these materials age and what restoration approaches work best for each situation.
Many historic marble walls in Long Island homes are actually easier to restore to exceptional condition than newer installations because the original stone quality was often superior. We take pride in preserving the character and authenticity of these classic surfaces while bringing them back to their original beauty.
Proper maintenance after restoration is straightforward but important for protecting your investment. We provide specific guidance based on your particular marble type and the conditions in your home, especially considering Long Island’s water quality and humidity levels.
Daily maintenance involves using pH-neutral cleaners designed for natural stone – never acidic bathroom cleaners or abrasive products. Weekly deep cleaning with stone-safe products helps prevent buildup of soap scum and hard water deposits.
We also recommend periodic resealing depending on the marble type and location. Shower walls typically need resealing every 1-2 years, while other areas may go longer. We can provide ongoing maintenance services or teach you how to handle routine care yourself. The goal is keeping your restored marble walls looking beautiful for decades to come.
