You know that feeling when you see your marble the way it’s supposed to look. The color is rich and deep again. The surface reflects light properly instead of looking cloudy or dull. When you run your hand across it, it’s smooth—not rough or pitted from years of damage.
That’s what happens when steam cleaning is done right. Your shower walls stop looking tired and worn. Your kitchen backsplash becomes a focal point again instead of something you try to hide. The stone feels substantial and valuable, not like it’s slowly deteriorating every time you clean it.
Most importantly, you stop worrying. You’re not wondering if that cleaning product is slowly eating away at your investment. You’re not second-guessing whether you should have called a professional sooner.
We’ve been restoring East Hills marble since 1998. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors say your marble is beyond saving.
Here’s what makes us different: we handle your project personally. You’re not dealing with a different crew every visit or wondering if the person doing the work knows what they’re doing. We’ve built our reputation on the toughest jobs—100-year-old marble that requires specialized knowledge and techniques.
East Hills has some of Long Island’s most beautiful historic homes, and we understand the marble that comes with them. We know how to work with Carrara marble from the 1920s, original terrazzo installations, and the unique challenges that come with decades of well-meaning but incorrect maintenance.
We start by understanding what we’re working with. This means identifying your specific type of marble, testing for etching and damage, and determining exactly what restoration approach will work best. No guesswork.
The steam cleaning phase uses professional equipment calibrated for your marble’s age and condition. This removes years of soap scum, hard water deposits, and other buildup without the acidic cleaners that destroy marble over time. We’re talking about deep cleaning that reaches into the stone’s pores.
Then comes restoration—grinding, honing, or polishing based on what your marble actually needs. Each step is controlled and measured. We don’t over-process or under-deliver. Finally, we apply the right sealer for your specific situation and usage patterns.

Your steam cleaning service covers complete marble restoration—shower walls, backsplashes, vanity tops, and any other marble surfaces that need attention. We handle surface etching, stain removal, crack repair, and proper resealing.
East Hills properties often feature original marble installations that require specialized care. We work regularly with the Carrara, Calacatta, and Emperador marbles common in the area’s historic homes. Our approach preserves the original character while addressing decades of wear and improper maintenance.
The service includes proper protection of surrounding areas, professional-grade steam cleaning equipment, restoration compounds designed specifically for natural stone, and detailed guidance on maintaining your results. We also provide concrete restoration and polishing for properties with terrazzo or other stone elements that complement the marble work.
Most marble wall steam cleaning projects take 1-2 days depending on the area size and damage extent. Shower wall restoration typically requires a full day for proper cleaning, restoration, and sealing.
We don’t rush because marble restoration mistakes are permanent. Each phase—cleaning, restoration, sealing—needs proper time and drying between steps. We schedule projects to minimize disruption while ensuring the work meets our standards.
For larger projects like complete bathroom restoration, we provide detailed timelines during consultation. You’ll know exactly what to expect and when your marble will be ready to use again.
Professional steam cleaning is one of the safest restoration methods for historic marble when done with proper equipment and expertise. The key is using correct temperature, pressure, and technique for your specific marble type and age.
Many East Hills homes have marble that’s 50-100+ years old. This stone requires different treatment than modern installations. We adjust our steam parameters based on the marble’s composition, age, and current condition to enhance rather than damage the surface.
The real danger to historic marble comes from acidic cleaners, abrasive scrubbing, or inexperienced contractors. Our controlled steam process removes contaminants without the chemical damage that destroys marble over decades.
Professional marble steam cleaning typically costs $8-15 per square foot in East Hills, depending on marble condition and restoration complexity. Shower wall projects usually fall in the middle of this range.
Cost factors include marble type, damage severity, area accessibility, and additional services like crack repair or specialized sealing. Historic marble often requires more careful attention, which influences pricing.
We provide free on-site consultations and detailed written estimates. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and can make informed decisions about your marble restoration investment.
Yes, soap scum removal is one of our most frequent services for East Hills shower walls. Soap scum creates a film that dulls marble and leads to permanent etching when left untreated.
Our steam cleaning process breaks down soap scum buildup without acidic cleaners that many homeowners mistakenly use. We follow with specialized polishing compounds that restore the marble’s natural shine and smooth texture.
For severe buildup, we may perform light honing before polishing. This removes the damaged surface layer and reveals healthy marble underneath. The process typically restores shower walls to like-new condition.
Most East Hills marble walls benefit from professional steam cleaning every 2-3 years, though high-use shower areas may need more frequent attention. Timing depends on water quality, usage patterns, and maintenance quality.
Signs you need professional service include dullness that doesn’t respond to regular cleaning, visible etching or water spots, or rough texture when touched. Don’t wait for severe damage—preventive maintenance costs less than major restoration.
We can establish a maintenance schedule that keeps your marble looking optimal year-round. Regular professional care extends marble life and protects your East Hills home investment.
Absolutely. Kitchen marble backsplashes in East Hills face unique challenges from cooking oils, heat, and food acids that cause permanent damage without proper care.
Our kitchen steam cleaning process removes grease buildup and food stains while restoring protective sealing. We focus on high-risk areas around stoves and sinks where damage typically occurs first.
Kitchen marble requires different treatment than bathroom applications due to different contaminant types. We use specialized techniques and products designed for kitchen environments, ensuring your backsplash looks beautiful and withstands daily cooking activities.
