You get marble that looks like it did when your Georgian Colonial was first built in 1917. Not just surface-level clean, but genuinely restored. The dull spots from decades of wrong cleaning products disappear. Those scratches that catch light wrong get ground out and polished smooth.
Your marble walls in the shower stop looking tired and stained. Your kitchen backsplash marble regains the depth and character that originally caught your eye. Steam cleaning reaches deep into the stone’s pores, extracting years of soap scum, mineral deposits, and embedded grime that regular cleaning never touches.
The result? Surfaces that enhance your home’s value instead of detracting from it. Marble that’s easier to maintain going forward. And confidence that your historic Halesite home’s character has been preserved properly, not compromised by inexperienced work.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has specialized in historic restoration since 1998. We understand what makes Halesite homes unique – the 1917 mansions, the century-old colonials, the quality craftsmanship that deserves equally skilled restoration work.
We’re owner-operated, which means you work directly with the craftsman doing the restoration. No subcontractors. No guesswork about who’s actually in your home. The New York Times featured our restoration expertise because we tackle the challenging projects other companies often can’t handle properly.
In a community where median home values exceed $890,000 and many properties have been in families for generations, restoration work needs to match both the quality and the expectations. That’s what we deliver – along with the transparent communication and professional service that Halesite residents expect.
First, we assess your marble’s current condition. Etching from acidic cleaners. Scratches from years of use. Staining that previous cleaners couldn’t touch. This assessment determines exactly what your surfaces need and lets us provide a detailed proposal within 24 hours.
Our steam cleaning uses specialized equipment that penetrates deep into marble’s pores. We’re removing years of accumulated damage – soap scum in shower walls, mineral deposits on backsplash marble, embedded grime that’s dulled your surfaces. The controlled heat and pressure extract what regular cleaning leaves behind.
Then comes targeted restoration. We grind out scratches, polish away etch marks, repair chips and cracks. Finally, professional-grade sealing protects against future damage. Re-grouting and re-caulking where needed. The entire process happens on-site, dust-free, completed within our committed timeframe.

Your service includes comprehensive restoration of marble walls, shower wall restoration, backsplash marble repair, and any other marble installations. We handle basic cleaning through complex repairs of chips, cracks, and deep etching developed over decades.
Halesite’s coastal humidity creates specific challenges for marble surfaces. Steam buildup in bathrooms. Salt air affecting exterior installations. Age-related issues in homes built when installation methods were different. We address these systematically, removing mold, mildew, and mineral buildup while restoring original finishes.
Historic homes here often have marble installations that haven’t been properly maintained for years. Previous cleaning attempts with wrong products. Failed sealing. Grout that’s deteriorated. Our restoration corrects these issues using modern materials chosen specifically for Long Island’s climate while preserving your home’s historic character.
Most steam cleaning and restoration projects take 1-3 days depending on scope and condition. A typical bathroom with marble shower walls usually completes in one day. Larger projects involving multiple rooms or extensive marble wall restoration may require 2-3 days.
We work efficiently because we understand your home needs to stay functional. Before starting, you get an exact timeline based on your specific project. We coordinate around your schedule and family needs, often working in sections to minimize disruption.
Timeline can extend if we discover underlying issues not visible during initial assessment – like failed moisture barriers behind shower walls or previous restoration attempts that need correction. But we communicate any changes immediately and get approval before additional work.
Professional steam cleaning preserves historic marble’s original character by removing accumulated damage, not causing it. Our process specifically addresses historic installations using techniques that respect original craftsmanship while fixing modern wear and tear.
We use controlled steam temperatures and specialized equipment that penetrates without thermal shock or surface damage. The goal is restoration to original condition – how your marble looked when your Halesite home was first built. This means removing improper cleaning damage, mineral buildup, and surface etching while preserving natural beauty.
Many clients discover their marble’s true color and pattern once we remove decades of damage and discoloration. One recent project on a 1920s Halesite mansion revealed stunning Carrara marble veining that had been hidden under years of soap film and mineral deposits. Restoration reveals character rather than changing it.
Halesite’s coastal location creates specific challenges – high humidity, salt air, temperature fluctuations, plus older installation methods without modern moisture barriers. We address these systematically during restoration.
Our steam cleaning effectively removes mold, mildew, and mineral deposits that develop in humid coastal environments. We inspect for underlying moisture issues affecting longevity, improving sealing around shower areas, updating grout lines, sometimes recommending ventilation improvements.
Older installations often have failed sealing or previous restoration with inappropriate materials. We correct these using professional-grade products chosen for Long Island’s coastal conditions. Recent work on waterfront properties here required special attention to salt air exposure and moisture penetration – challenges we handle regularly.
Steam cleaning penetrates deep into marble’s pores using controlled heat and pressure to extract buildup regular cleaning can’t reach. Most services only address surface dirt. Steam cleaning is comprehensive restoration including deep extraction, scratch removal, etch repair, re-sealing.
Regular cleaning involves surface polishing and basic stain removal. Steam cleaning actually restores to original condition. The difference between making marble look temporarily better versus genuinely bringing it back to life.
Results are dramatically different. After our steam cleaning, marble doesn’t just look cleaner – it looks and feels like new installation. Smoother surface, deeper shine, proper protection against future damage. Especially important in historic Halesite homes where marble may not have been properly maintained for decades.
Yes, we provide a 5-year labor warranty on all steam cleaning and restoration work in Halesite and throughout Long Island. This covers workmanship quality and restoration durability under normal use conditions.
Our warranty reflects confidence in both our process and professional-grade materials. We’ve served Halesite since 1998 and stand behind our work because it’s done right the first time. Warranty covers restoration-related issues including sealing failure, grout problems, workmanship concerns.
We also provide detailed maintenance guidelines to protect your investment. Many Halesite clients have marble that still looks excellent years after initial restoration. One client’s 2019 shower wall restoration still looks perfect – exactly what our warranty supports.
Steam cleaning costs vary based on size, condition, and complexity, but we provide detailed itemized proposals within 24 hours of assessment. Most bathroom projects with marble wall restoration reflect both specialized work requirements and Halesite’s high-end property standards.
We price transparently because Halesite homeowners expect clear professional communication about costs. Our proposals detail exactly what work gets performed, materials used, results expected. No hidden fees or surprises.
Investment in professional restoration typically pays through increased property value and reduced long-term maintenance costs. Properly restored marble lasts decades with minimal maintenance. Neglected marble often requires expensive replacement. We offer free consultations so you understand options before any commitment.
