Your marble surfaces tell the story of your home’s character, but daily wear shouldn’t diminish their beauty. When we restore your marble walls, shower surfaces, and backsplashes, you’re not just getting clean stone—you’re reclaiming the elegance that makes your space special.
The difference is immediate and lasting. Hard water stains disappear. Soap scum buildup vanishes. That dull, worn appearance transforms back into the brilliant shine that originally caught your eye. Your bathroom becomes a space you’re proud to show guests again.
Most importantly, professional restoration protects your investment. Quality marble restoration can increase your property value significantly while extending the life of your surfaces for decades to come.
We’ve been serving Babylon homeowners since 1998, specializing in the restoration of historic floors and complex material projects. We’re the company that gets excited about the challenging jobs—the 100-year-old floors that other contractors walk away from.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen who understand the unique character of Long Island’s historic properties. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, and that recognition reflects our commitment to preserving the architectural heritage that makes Babylon special.
When you choose us, you’re working with professionals who see every marble surface as an opportunity to restore something beautiful rather than just another job to complete.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble surfaces to identify damage, stains, scratches, and wear patterns. This tells us exactly what restoration approach will deliver the best results for your specific situation.
Next comes the cleaning phase using specialized steam cleaning equipment and professional-grade products designed specifically for natural stone. We remove dirt, soap scum, hard water deposits, and other contaminants that regular household cleaners can’t touch.
The restoration process involves honing, grinding, polishing, or buffing depending on your marble’s condition. We use diamond abrasives and proven techniques to remove scratches, stains, and etches while bringing back the stone’s natural shine. Finally, we apply protective sealing to help prevent future damage and staining, ensuring your restored surfaces stay beautiful longer.

Our steam cleaning and restoration services cover every marble surface in your home, from shower walls and bathroom floors to kitchen backsplashes and countertops. We understand that Babylon’s historic homes often feature unique marble installations that require specialized care and attention.
Long Island’s hard water presents particular challenges for marble surfaces, creating mineral deposits and buildup that standard cleaning methods can’t address. Our professional steam cleaning equipment and stone-safe products effectively remove these deposits without damaging your marble’s surface or finish.
For Babylon homeowners dealing with older marble installations, we offer comprehensive restoration that includes crack repair, stain removal, re-grouting, and re-caulking. We complete most residential projects in 1-2 days using dustless techniques, so you can return to normal use quickly without the mess typically associated with restoration work.
Professional steam cleaning is safe when done correctly with the right equipment and techniques. The key is using controlled temperature and pressure specifically designed for natural stone surfaces.
Many homeowners damage their marble by using household steam cleaners that reach temperatures over 250 degrees, causing thermal expansion that can crack or pit the stone. Our professional equipment operates at optimal temperatures that effectively clean without causing damage.
We also use stone-safe cleaning products and follow up with proper sealing to protect your surfaces. This approach removes soap scum, hard water deposits, and bacteria while preserving your marble’s integrity and appearance.
In Babylon’s climate and with Long Island’s hard water conditions, we recommend professional cleaning and maintenance every 6 to 12 months for most marble surfaces. Shower areas and high-use surfaces may need attention more frequently.
The humid environment and mineral-rich water in our area create conditions where soap scum, hard water deposits, and even mold can build up more quickly than in other regions. Regular professional maintenance prevents these issues from becoming permanent damage that requires expensive restoration.
Between professional cleanings, daily maintenance with pH-neutral, stone-safe products will help preserve your marble’s appearance and extend the time between professional services.
Yes, we regularly restore marble surfaces that have been etched or discolored by inappropriate cleaning products. Many common bathroom and kitchen cleaners contain acids that react with marble’s calcium carbonate composition, creating permanent-looking damage.
The restoration process involves carefully removing the damaged surface layer through controlled grinding and honing, then polishing the stone back to its original finish. Depending on the extent of the damage, this can often be completed in a single day.
After restoration, we seal the surface and provide guidance on proper maintenance products to prevent future damage. Most etching and discoloration can be successfully removed, returning your marble to its original beauty.
Historic marble often requires specialized techniques because the stone may have unique characteristics, installation methods, or previous treatments that affect how it responds to restoration. Babylon’s older homes frequently feature marble that’s been in place for decades or even over a century.
These surfaces may have developed patina, accumulated multiple layers of old sealers, or suffered from years of inappropriate maintenance. We assess each historic installation individually to determine the safest and most effective restoration approach.
Our experience with historic properties means we understand how to preserve the character and integrity of original marble work while bringing it back to functional beauty. This often involves more detailed hand work and specialized products compared to newer installations.
Most residential marble restoration projects in Babylon are completed within 1-2 days, depending on the size of the area and extent of restoration needed. Simple cleaning and polishing can often be finished in a single day.
More extensive restoration involving crack repair, stain removal, or significant surface damage may require additional time. We use dustless techniques and work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
We provide accurate time estimates during our initial assessment and keep you informed throughout the process. Our goal is to complete high-quality work as quickly as possible so you can enjoy your restored marble surfaces without extended inconvenience.
Yes, we offer customized maintenance plans designed to keep your marble surfaces in optimal condition year-round. These plans are particularly valuable for Babylon homeowners dealing with hard water and humid conditions that accelerate wear and buildup.
Our maintenance plans include regular professional cleaning, inspection for early problem detection, and resealing as needed. We can focus more attention on high-traffic areas while performing full restoration less frequently to optimize cost-effectiveness.
Regular maintenance not only keeps your marble looking beautiful but also prevents minor issues from becoming expensive problems. Many of our long-term maintenance clients find this approach more convenient and cost-effective than waiting for restoration needs to develop.
