That marble you invested in? It’s still there under the dullness, etching, and stains. Steam cleaning brings it back to the surface you fell in love with.
Your floors, walls, and countertops regain their depth and character. No more avoiding certain angles of light that highlight every scratch and dull spot.
The difference isn’t just visual—it’s how you feel walking through your space again. Like you made the right choice installing marble in the first place.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring marble since 1998. We’re the company that gets excited about your 100-year-old floors—the ones other contractors walk away from.
Owner-operated means you work directly with the craftsman, not a sales team. Featured in the NY Times for our restoration work, we’ve built our reputation on taking on the challenging projects in Bay Park and throughout Long Island.
Bay Park’s waterfront location means your marble faces unique challenges from humidity and salt air. We understand how these conditions affect natural stone and adjust our approach accordingly.
First, we assess your marble’s condition and identify the specific issues—etching, stains, scratches, or general dullness. This determines our steam cleaning approach and any additional restoration needed.
The steam cleaning process uses controlled heat and pressure to penetrate deep into the marble’s pores, lifting embedded dirt, soap scum, and stains that regular cleaning can’t touch. We work dust-free, protecting your home throughout the process.
After steam cleaning, we evaluate whether your marble needs honing, polishing, or sealing to complete the restoration. You’ll see the transformation immediately—marble that looks like it was just installed.

Steam cleaning covers your shower walls, backsplash marble, and any vertical marble surfaces where standard methods fall short. We specialize in marble wall restoration throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
Bay Park homes often feature marble in bathrooms and kitchens where steam and humidity create perfect conditions for soap scum, mineral deposits, and mold growth. Our process eliminates these issues while preserving the marble’s integrity.
Your steam cleaning service includes assessment of grout condition, identification of any repairs needed, and recommendations for ongoing maintenance. We handle everything from historic marble installations to modern applications, with particular expertise in challenging restoration projects that other companies avoid.
Steam cleaning penetrates deep into marble’s porous structure using controlled heat and pressure, reaching contaminants that surface cleaning can’t touch. Regular cleaning only addresses what you see on top.
The steam process actually sanitizes your marble while lifting embedded dirt, soap residue, and mineral deposits. This is especially important for shower walls and backsplash areas where buildup occurs over time.
Most importantly, steam cleaning prepares your marble for proper restoration. You can’t effectively polish or seal marble that hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned at the pore level first.
When done correctly, steam cleaning is actually gentler on historic marble than many traditional cleaning methods. We adjust temperature and pressure based on your marble’s age and condition.
Historic marble often has unique characteristics that require specialized knowledge. We’ve been working with century-old floors since 1998 and understand how different marble types respond to steam treatment.
The key is proper assessment before we start. We test a small area first and adjust our approach based on how your specific marble reacts. This ensures we enhance rather than harm your historic surfaces.
Most marble wall steam cleaning takes 4-6 hours, depending on the size of the area and level of buildup. Shower walls typically require more time due to soap scum and mineral deposit accumulation.
We work systematically, ensuring each section receives proper treatment before moving on. The process can’t be rushed—proper steam cleaning requires time for the heat and moisture to penetrate effectively.
You can use the space the same day once we’re finished. Unlike some restoration processes, steam cleaning doesn’t require extended drying time or curing periods.
Steam cleaning removes surface stains and buildup, but etching requires additional restoration steps. Etching is actual damage to the marble’s surface from acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar.
However, steam cleaning is often the first step in etch removal. Once we’ve thoroughly cleaned the marble, we can properly assess the etching depth and determine whether honing, polishing, or other restoration techniques are needed.
Many homeowners are surprised to discover that what they thought was permanent etching is actually just deep staining that steam cleaning can address. We’ll know for sure once the marble is properly cleaned.
Yes, backsplash marble is actually one of our specialties. Kitchen backsplashes face constant exposure to cooking oils, food splatters, and cleaning products that create stubborn buildup over time.
Steam cleaning is particularly effective for backsplash areas because it reaches into the grout lines and marble texture where grease and food particles accumulate. Standard wiping just pushes these contaminants around.
We take special care around electrical outlets and fixtures, using techniques that thoroughly clean your backsplash without creating moisture issues. Most backsplash steam cleaning is completed in 2-3 hours.
For most Bay Park homes, annual steam cleaning maintains marble in excellent condition. High-use areas like shower walls might benefit from steam cleaning every 6-8 months.
The frequency depends on your marble’s location and exposure. Kitchen backsplashes and bathroom walls typically need more frequent attention than decorative marble in living areas.
We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your marble looking its best without over-treating it. Proper timing actually extends your marble’s life and reduces the need for major restoration work.
