Your marble doesn’t need replacing. It needs proper restoration.
When marble walls lose their shine and develop those frustrating white spots or dark stains, most contractors will tell you to rip everything out. That’s expensive advice that ignores what’s actually wrong.
Steam cleaning, done correctly, penetrates deep into marble pores to remove bacteria, soap scum, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t touch. The result? Surfaces that look like they were installed yesterday, at a fraction of replacement cost.
We’ve been restoring marble surfaces in Nassau County since 1998. We’re not a franchise or subcontractor – we’re local craftsmen who understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s historic homes.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with the expert doing the job, not a salesperson. We’ve been featured in the New York Times and trusted by Nassau County’s top interior designers because we deliver results that last.
In Greenvale’s high-end market, where homes regularly sell for over $1 million, protecting your marble investment isn’t just smart – it’s essential.
We start with a thorough inspection to identify damage, stains, and the best restoration approach for your specific marble type.
Next comes specialized cleaning using controlled steam temperatures that remove deep-set contaminants without causing thermal damage. We’re not using household steam cleaners – our professional equipment maintains precise heat and pressure levels that protect your marble while eliminating bacteria and buildup.
After cleaning, we address any chips or cracks with specialized fillers, then restore the surface using honing, grinding, or polishing techniques depending on your marble’s condition. Finally, we seal the surface to prevent future staining and extend the life of your restoration.

Our steam cleaning service covers marble walls, shower enclosures, backsplashes, and bathroom surfaces throughout Greenvale and Nassau County.
We handle everything from minor etch removal to complete shower restoration. Each project includes deep cleaning, stain removal, crack repair, and protective sealing. All work is done on-site with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Given Greenvale’s proximity to the coast and the age of many homes in the area, we often work with marble that’s been affected by humidity and hard water deposits. These conditions require specialized knowledge of local environmental factors and their impact on natural stone – expertise we’ve developed over decades of serving Long Island homeowners.
Steam cleaning is safe when done by professionals with the right equipment and training. The key is controlling temperature and pressure to avoid thermal shock that can crack marble or damage sealers.
We use commercial-grade equipment that maintains precise heat levels, unlike household steam cleaners that can reach damaging temperatures. Our technicians are trained to recognize different marble types and adjust techniques accordingly.
The biggest risk comes from improper DIY steam cleaning or hiring companies without stone restoration experience. We’ve seen expensive damage from contractors who treat marble like ceramic tile.
Professional marble restoration typically costs 60-80% less than replacement, often saving homeowners $8,000-$15,000 on bathroom projects.
The exact cost depends on your marble’s condition, the size of the area, and what restoration work is needed beyond steam cleaning. We provide detailed estimates after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
When you factor in demolition, disposal, new materials, and installation time, restoration makes financial sense for most Greenvale homeowners. Plus, you keep your original marble’s character and avoid months of construction disruption.
Steam cleaning removes most organic stains, soap scum, mineral deposits, and surface-level discoloration. However, some deep stains or etching may require additional restoration techniques.
Oil-based stains, rust marks, and acid etching often need specialized treatments beyond steam cleaning. That’s why we always inspect first – to set realistic expectations and recommend the right combination of techniques for your specific situation.
The good news is that even stubborn stains usually respond to professional restoration methods. We’ve successfully restored marble that homeowners thought was beyond saving.
Most marble steam cleaning projects take 4-8 hours depending on the area size and condition. Bathroom showers typically require a full day, while smaller backsplash areas can often be completed in half a day.
The timeline includes setup, cleaning, any necessary repairs, and final sealing. We work efficiently but never rush the process – proper restoration takes time to do correctly.
We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the project. Most homeowners are surprised how quickly we can transform their marble compared to renovation timelines.
Yes, we stand behind our restoration work with a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and labor. The specific terms depend on the scope of work and your marble’s condition.
Our warranty covers the restoration work itself – if the cleaning doesn’t hold up or if we miss something during the process, we’ll make it right at no charge. We also provide guidance on proper maintenance to help your restoration last as long as possible.
After 25+ years in business, we’ve built our reputation on standing behind our work. When you choose an owner-operated company, you get that level of personal accountability.
Absolutely. Historic marble restoration is actually our specialty – the older and more challenging the project, the better we like it. Many of Greenvale’s homes date back to the 1930s and earlier, with original marble that just needs proper care.
Historic marble often has unique characteristics and requires different techniques than modern stone. We’ve worked extensively with period materials and understand how age, settling, and decades of use affect marble surfaces.
The key is recognizing what makes historic marble special and preserving those qualities while restoring function and beauty. We’ve saved countless historic marble installations that other contractors wanted to replace.
