Your marble stops looking tired and neglected. The soap scum that’s been building up for months disappears without a trace. Water stains that made your shower walls look permanently damaged are gone.
Steam cleaning reaches into the microscopic pores of your marble where regular cleaning can’t touch. The result isn’t just surface-level clean—it’s the kind of deep restoration that brings back the original luster you thought was lost forever.
You get your investment back. Your marble looks the way it did when it was first installed, and it stays that way longer because the deep cleaning removes the buildup that accelerates future damage.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring marble and natural stone surfaces across Long Island for over 25 years. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say a job can’t be done.
Our first client, the Garden City Hotel, has been using our services exclusively for more than 16 years. That’s the kind of trust you build when you do the work right the first time. We were even featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise.
In Captree’s high-end waterfront community, where homes regularly sell for over a million dollars, marble restoration isn’t just about appearance—it’s about protecting your investment. We understand that, and we treat every project accordingly.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble surfaces. Not all marble damage is the same, and the wrong approach can make things worse. We identify what we’re dealing with before we touch anything.
The steam cleaning process uses high-temperature vapor to break down soap scum, mineral deposits, and organic buildup that’s embedded in your marble’s pores. The steam penetrates without the harsh chemicals that can etch or discolor your stone.
After the steam cleaning, we address any etching or surface damage with precision polishing techniques. Then we seal the marble to protect against future staining and make routine maintenance easier. You’re left with marble that looks restored, not just cleaned.

Steam cleaning covers your marble walls, shower surrounds, backsplashes, and any natural stone surfaces that need deep restoration. We handle everything from minor soap scum buildup to severe water damage and etching.
In Captree’s coastal environment, marble faces unique challenges. Salt air, high humidity, and constant exposure to water create conditions that accelerate damage. Our steam cleaning process is specifically designed to address these local factors.
The service includes surface preparation, deep steam cleaning, damage assessment and repair, precision polishing where needed, and protective sealing. We also provide maintenance guidance so you can keep your marble looking its best between professional services.
Steam cleaning is safe for most marble types when done correctly, but the key word is “correctly.” Marble is a calcium carbonate stone that can be damaged by improper techniques or excessive heat.
We adjust our steam temperature and pressure based on your specific marble type and condition. Carrara marble, for example, requires different handling than travertine or limestone. Before we start any work, we test a small, inconspicuous area to ensure our process won’t cause damage.
The biggest risk isn’t the steam itself—it’s using the wrong cleaning products afterward or applying steam incorrectly. That’s why this isn’t a DIY job. Professional steam cleaning removes contaminants safely while preserving your marble’s integrity.
A typical shower restoration takes 4-6 hours depending on the size and condition of your marble surfaces. This includes the steam cleaning process, any necessary polishing, and sealing.
We don’t rush the work. Steam cleaning requires time for the vapor to penetrate and break down years of buildup. If we find etching or other damage during the cleaning process, we address it properly rather than covering it up.
Most homeowners are surprised by how thorough the process is. We’re not just cleaning the surface—we’re restoring the marble to its original condition. That level of work takes time, but the results speak for themselves.
Yes, but not all stains are created equal. Fresh soap scum and mineral deposits respond well to steam cleaning. Stains that have been building up for years may require additional restoration steps.
Steam cleaning breaks down the molecular bonds in soap scum and mineral deposits, making them easier to remove without scrubbing. This is crucial for marble because aggressive scrubbing can cause microscopic scratches that dull the surface.
For stubborn hard water stains, we may need to follow the steam cleaning with specialized polishing compounds. The goal isn’t just to remove the stains—it’s to restore the marble’s original finish. Some stains require multiple treatment cycles, but we don’t consider the job done until your marble looks right.
Most marble shower walls benefit from professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months, but it depends on usage and water quality. Homes with hard water or heavily used showers may need service more frequently.
The key is catching problems before they become permanent. Once marble develops deep etching or staining, restoration becomes more complex and expensive. Regular steam cleaning prevents that buildup and keeps your marble in good condition.
Between professional services, proper daily maintenance makes a huge difference. We provide specific care instructions based on your marble type and local water conditions. Following those guidelines can extend the time between professional cleanings.
Steam cleaning alone won’t fix etching, but it’s often the first step in the restoration process. Etching occurs when acidic substances burn into the marble’s surface, creating dull spots or rough patches.
The steam cleaning removes any surface contamination so we can see the full extent of the etching. Then we use progressive polishing techniques to smooth out the damaged areas and restore the marble’s shine.
Minor etching can often be corrected during a single service visit. Severe etching may require multiple treatment cycles or more intensive restoration work. We assess each situation individually and explain your options before starting any work.
Regular marble cleaning only addresses surface dirt and grime. Steam cleaning penetrates into the marble’s pores to remove embedded contaminants that cause long-term damage and discoloration.
Most homeowners use cleaning products that are too harsh for marble or don’t clean deeply enough. Steam cleaning uses only water vapor at controlled temperatures, so there’s no risk of chemical damage to your stone.
The results are dramatically different. Regular cleaning makes marble look temporarily better. Steam cleaning actually restores the marble’s original appearance and protects it against future damage. It’s the difference between maintenance and restoration.
