Your marble tells a story, but right now it might be telling the wrong one. Instead of showcasing the elegant surfaces that drew you to your home, you’re looking at dull, stained, or damaged stone that makes your space feel tired and dated.
Professional steam cleaning changes that narrative completely. The high-temperature process penetrates deep into marble pores, lifting embedded dirt, soap scum, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t touch. What emerges is the vibrant, lustrous surface you remember – or perhaps better than you ever imagined it could be.
This isn’t just about appearance. Restored marble surfaces are easier to maintain, more resistant to future staining, and add measurable value to your property. In Hewlett’s competitive real estate market, well-maintained historic features become selling points rather than renovation concerns.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been serving Nassau County’s historic homes since 1998. We understand the unique challenges of Hewlett’s Gold Coast-era properties, where original marble and stone surfaces require specialized care that honors their heritage while meets modern standards.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced professionals who’ve tackled everything from century-old mansion floors to intricate shower surrounds. We’ve maintained an exclusive relationship with the Garden City Hotel for over 16 years – the kind of long-term partnership that only comes from consistently exceptional results.
The NY Times featured our work in 2001, recognizing our expertise in historic restoration. But what matters more is how homeowners react when they see their marble transformed from dull and damaged to stunning and pristine.
First, we assess your marble surfaces to identify the specific issues – whether that’s etching from acidic cleaners, embedded stains, or simple dulling from years of use. This evaluation determines the exact approach needed for your particular stone and situation.
Our steam cleaning process uses high-temperature vapor to penetrate marble pores without harsh chemicals that can cause further damage. The steam loosens embedded dirt, dissolves mineral deposits, and sanitizes surfaces while preparing them for restoration. For shower wall restoration and backsplash marble work, we pay special attention to grout lines and corners where buildup typically concentrates.
After steam cleaning, we proceed with any necessary repairs – filling chips, addressing cracks, or smoothing rough areas. Then comes polishing to restore the surface’s natural luster and shine. Finally, we apply appropriate sealers to protect against future staining and make ongoing maintenance much easier for you.

Steam cleaning forms the foundation of comprehensive marble restoration, but your project likely needs more than just cleaning. We handle shower wall restoration that addresses water damage, soap buildup, and grout deterioration. Backsplash marble restoration involves careful attention to cooking stains, grease penetration, and the delicate areas around fixtures.
Hewlett’s historic homes often feature original marble installations that require specialized knowledge. We work with materials and techniques from different eras, understanding how pre-war construction differs from modern applications. This expertise prevents the costly mistakes that general contractors sometimes make when working with vintage stone.
Our marble wall repair services extend beyond surface restoration. We address structural issues, replace damaged sections seamlessly, and ensure that repairs blend invisibly with original materials. For Nassau County homeowners, this attention to authenticity preserves both the character and value of historic properties.
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature vapor to penetrate deep into marble pores, reaching embedded dirt and stains that surface cleaners can’t touch. Unlike chemical cleaners that can etch or discolor marble, steam cleaning is completely safe for natural stone while being more effective at removing buildup.
The process sanitizes surfaces naturally through heat, eliminating bacteria and mold without harsh chemicals. For shower wall restoration, this means addressing not just visible stains but also the underlying contaminants that cause odors and deterioration. Regular cleaning methods work on the surface; steam cleaning works throughout the stone structure.
Yes, we regularly restore marble damaged by acidic cleaners, bleach, or abrasive products. Etching from improper cleaners creates dull spots and rough patches, but these can be polished out through careful grinding and restoration techniques.
The process involves removing the damaged surface layer and rebuilding the marble’s natural finish. For backsplash marble that’s been damaged by kitchen cleaners, we can often restore the original appearance completely. However, deep etching may require more extensive restoration. We assess each situation individually and explain exactly what’s possible before beginning work.
Most shower wall restoration projects take 1-2 days, depending on the size and condition of the surfaces. Backsplash marble restoration typically requires one day for standard installations. Larger projects involving multiple rooms or extensive repairs may take 3-4 days.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household. For bathroom projects, we coordinate with you to ensure you have access to other facilities during the work period. The restoration process requires drying time between steps, so rushing isn’t beneficial. We’d rather take the time needed to deliver results that last for years.
Our comprehensive service includes assessment, steam cleaning, repair of chips and cracks, polishing to restore shine, and sealing for protection. We also address grout cleaning and repair, caulk replacement where needed, and fixture reinstallation if removal was necessary for access.
For historic Hewlett properties, we include consultation on appropriate maintenance methods to preserve your investment. We provide specific product recommendations and care instructions tailored to your particular marble type and installation. Follow-up support is available if you have questions about ongoing maintenance.
We specialize in marble, granite, limestone, travertine, and terrazzo restoration. Each stone type requires different techniques and products, which is why specialized knowledge matters. We also offer concrete restoration and polishing services for modern installations.
We do not work with porcelain or ceramic tiles, as these require different expertise and equipment. Our focus on natural stone allows us to deliver superior results for materials that truly benefit from professional restoration. If you’re unsure about your stone type, we can identify it during our initial assessment.
Professional restoration preserves the value of your historic property while DIY attempts often cause expensive damage. Marble restoration requires specialized equipment, professional-grade products, and years of experience to achieve lasting results without harming the stone.
Nassau County’s real estate market rewards well-maintained historic features, making professional restoration an investment rather than an expense. We’ve seen too many beautiful marble surfaces ruined by well-intentioned homeowners using inappropriate methods or products. Our expertise protects your investment while delivering results that enhance both beauty and property value.
