Wading River’s historic homes and waterfront properties present unique restoration challenges. Between the coastal humidity and the age of many local properties, marble surfaces face constant exposure to moisture and mineral deposits that require specialized expertise to address properly.
We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your marble walls, identifying the root cause of damage whether it’s water etching, mineral buildup, or structural issues. This isn’t guesswork – we’ve been doing this for over two decades.
Next comes the restoration work itself. We use specialized equipment and techniques to remove stains, repair chips and cracks, and restore the original surface finish. For shower walls, this includes addressing grout issues and re-caulking to prevent future water damage.
The final step is protection. We apply appropriate sealers to guard against future staining and provide you with maintenance guidance. Most projects are completed within 1-2 days, so you’re not disrupted for weeks like with full renovations.

Marble walls become dull and stained primarily due to etching from acidic substances and mineral buildup from hard water. In shower environments, soap scum, body oils, and mineral deposits create a film that dulls the surface over time.
Many homeowners unknowingly damage their marble by using inappropriate cleaners. Products containing vinegar, lemon, or other acids cause permanent etching that appears as dull spots or water marks. Hard water minerals also build up in the stone’s pores, creating stains that penetrate beyond surface cleaning.
Wading River’s coastal location adds salt air exposure, which can accelerate deterioration. Professional restoration addresses both surface damage and underlying causes, then applies protective treatments to prevent future problems.
Yes, we specialize in marble crack and chip repair using color-matched epoxy and professional refinishing techniques. Small chips and hairline cracks can be virtually invisible after proper repair.
The repair process involves cleaning the damaged area, applying precisely color-matched epoxy filler, and refinishing the surface to match the surrounding marble. For larger cracks, we may need to stabilize the underlying structure before cosmetic repair.
Our experience with historic properties means we often deal with settling cracks and age-related damage. We can assess whether cracks indicate structural issues that need addressing or are simply cosmetic problems that can be repaired during the restoration process.
