When your historic marble looks dull or damaged, you don’t need to replace it. Professional steam cleaning restores the natural beauty of your marble while actually strengthening the surface. The process increases marble density and compression strength, making it more resistant to future wear.
You get surfaces that are easier to clean and maintain long-term. Steam cleaning eliminates bacteria and sanitizes without the harsh chemicals that can etch or discolor your marble. Your floors, walls, and surfaces stay cleaner longer because they’re properly sealed and protected.
The result is marble that looks like it was just installed, with the added benefit of preserving the historic character that makes your Brookhaven property unique.
We’ve been serving Brookhaven and Long Island since 1998. We specialize in what other companies won’t touch – the challenging restoration of historic floors and complex marble projects.
Brookhaven’s rich history includes homes dating back to the 1720s and Revolutionary War-era properties. These historic buildings deserve craftsmen who understand both the materials and the heritage. That’s exactly what we provide.
Our owner-operated approach means you work directly with experienced professionals, not subcontractors. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our expertise, and we bring that same level of skill to every project in Brookhaven.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition and history. This tells us exactly what approach will restore your surfaces without causing damage.
First, we clean the surface using specialized, pH-neutral cleaners that remove dirt and grime without etching. Then we apply controlled steam at the proper temperature – hot enough to sanitize and eliminate bacteria, but gentle enough to protect your marble.
The steam process loosens embedded dirt that regular mopping can’t reach. We follow up with microfiber tools to capture all debris, leaving nothing behind. Finally, we apply protective sealing to help prevent future staining and make maintenance easier.
The entire process typically takes one day for most residential projects, and you can use your surfaces within 24 hours.

Our steam cleaning service covers every marble surface in your Brookhaven home. We restore marble floors, shower walls, backsplashes, and decorative marble features with the same careful attention to detail.
In Brookhaven’s historic homes, we often work with original marble installations that have been in place for decades or even centuries. These surfaces require specialized knowledge of period materials and installation methods.
We also handle marble walls in bathrooms, where humidity and soap residue create unique challenges. Our process removes hard water deposits, soap scum, and mold without damaging the marble or surrounding grout.
For historic properties, we take extra care to preserve the original character while bringing surfaces back to their intended beauty. This approach has helped countless Brookhaven homeowners increase their property values while maintaining historical authenticity.
Yes, when done properly by experienced professionals. We use controlled temperatures and specialized techniques designed for historic marble. The key is using low to medium heat settings and ensuring proper drying afterward.
Many historic marble surfaces in Brookhaven have been in place for 100+ years. These older installations actually respond well to steam cleaning because the process strengthens the marble structure and removes decades of embedded dirt. We test a small area first to ensure compatibility, and our owner-operator approach means experienced craftsmen handle every aspect of your project.
Steam cleaning is significantly more effective than conventional mopping and chemical cleaning. Regular mops often just spread dirt around rather than removing it, while harsh chemicals can etch marble surfaces over time.
Steam cleaning eliminates bacteria and sanitizes without chemicals, while actually reaching embedded dirt that mops leave behind. The process also increases marble density and compression strength, making your surfaces more durable. You get cleaner results that last longer, plus the added benefit of chemical-free sanitization that’s safe for your family.
We steam clean all types of marble surfaces: floors, shower walls, backsplashes, countertops, and decorative features. Each surface requires slightly different techniques based on its location and condition.
Bathroom marble gets special attention because humidity and soap create unique challenges. Kitchen backsplashes need careful handling around grout lines. Historic floors require assessment of the original installation methods. We adjust our approach for each surface while maintaining the same high standards throughout your home. Our goal is consistent results across all your marble surfaces.
Most residential steam cleaning projects in Brookhaven take one full day, though larger or more complex historic properties may require additional time. The process can’t be rushed because each step is critical for proper results.
We factor in assessment time, surface preparation, the actual steam cleaning process, and final sealing. Historic properties often need extra care and attention to detail. After completion, surfaces need 24 hours to fully cure before normal use. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific project requirements.
Properly executed steam cleaning actually helps preserve grout by removing mold, mildew, and embedded dirt that can cause deterioration. We use controlled steam pressure and temperature to clean effectively without causing expansion damage.
The key is understanding how different grout materials respond to steam. Historic grout may need different handling than modern installations. We assess your grout condition during our initial evaluation and adjust our technique accordingly. In many cases, the steam cleaning process reveals grout that looks better than it has in years because we’ve removed years of buildup and discoloration.
For most Brookhaven homes, professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months maintains optimal marble condition. High-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to humidity may need attention more frequently.
Historic marble often benefits from annual professional cleaning because these older surfaces have been through decades of wear and various cleaning attempts. Regular professional steam cleaning actually extends the life of your marble and reduces the need for more extensive restoration work later. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your marble looking its best while protecting your investment.
