Your marble doesn’t have to stay dull, etched, or stained. Professional steam cleaning reaches deep into marble’s porous surface, extracting years of built-up grime, soap residue, and contaminants that regular cleaning can’t touch.
The difference is immediate. Walls that looked permanently damaged suddenly gleam like they did when first installed. Shower surfaces that harbored mold and discoloration become pristine again.
You’re not just getting clean marble—you’re getting back the elegant, valuable surfaces you invested in. Steam cleaning done right protects your investment while eliminating the bacteria and buildup that cause long-term damage.
High Definition Marble Restoration has served Holtsville and Suffolk County since 1998, specializing in the challenging restoration projects other companies won’t touch. Featured in the New York Times for our expertise, we’re the owner-operated team that thrives on bringing century-old marble back to life.
Long Island’s historic homes present unique restoration challenges. Many properties in Holtsville feature original marble installations that require specialized knowledge to restore properly. We understand these materials intimately—from the limestone foundations to the intricate marble details that define the area’s architectural character.
Every project receives direct attention from our founder, ensuring the craftsmanship and care your valuable surfaces deserve. No subcontractors, no shortcuts—just expert restoration that protects your investment.
We start with a thorough assessment of your marble’s condition, identifying problem areas and determining the appropriate steam cleaning approach. Unlike DIY steam cleaners that can damage marble through excessive heat, our professional-grade equipment maintains precise temperature control.
The cleaning begins with careful preparation—protecting surrounding surfaces and ensuring proper ventilation. We use specialized steam cleaning techniques that penetrate marble’s porous surface without causing thermal shock or expansion damage that can crack or etch the stone.
Our process removes deep-seated contaminants, bacteria, and mineral deposits that traditional cleaning can’t reach. We follow up with appropriate sealing when needed, ensuring your restored marble stays protected. The entire process is dust-free and completed on-site, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

Our steam cleaning service addresses all marble surfaces in your Holtsville home—from shower walls and backsplashes to historic floors and decorative elements. We specialize in challenging restoration work that brings severely damaged marble back to pristine condition.
Holtsville’s proximity to the water means many homes deal with humidity-related marble issues. Steam condensation in bathrooms creates perfect conditions for mold growth and mineral buildup. Our professional steam cleaning eliminates these problems while restoring the marble’s natural luster and protective properties.
We also handle concrete restoration and polishing work that complements marble installations. Whether you’re dealing with etched shower walls, stained backsplashes, or century-old marble floors that have lost their shine, our expertise covers the full spectrum of natural stone restoration needs common in Long Island’s established neighborhoods.
Yes, when performed by professionals with the right equipment and expertise. The key difference is temperature control and technique. DIY steam cleaners often reach temperatures over 250°F, which can cause thermal expansion and cracking in marble.
Our professional-grade equipment maintains precise temperatures that clean effectively without damaging the stone. We understand marble’s porous nature and adjust our approach accordingly. Many homeowners have damaged their marble attempting DIY steam cleaning—we frequently restore surfaces that were harmed by improper steam cleaning techniques.
Professional steam cleaning removes bacteria, mold, and deep-seated contaminants that traditional cleaning methods can’t reach, all while protecting your marble’s structural integrity and finish.
Most marble shower walls benefit from professional steam cleaning every 12-18 months, though high-use bathrooms may need attention more frequently. The humid environment in showers creates ideal conditions for soap scum buildup, mineral deposits, and bacterial growth that penetrate marble’s porous surface.
Regular professional cleaning prevents the accumulation of contaminants that cause permanent staining and etching. If you notice dullness, discoloration, or persistent water spots despite regular cleaning, it’s time for professional intervention.
Holtsville’s water conditions can accelerate mineral buildup on marble surfaces. Our steam cleaning process removes these deposits before they cause permanent damage, extending the life and beauty of your marble installation significantly.
In most cases, yes. Marble that appears permanently damaged can often be restored to like-new condition through professional steam cleaning combined with appropriate restoration techniques. Etching from acidic substances, scratches from daily wear, and staining from spills are typically reversible with expert treatment.
We specialize in the challenging cases—the marble that other companies might recommend replacing. Our experience with historic Long Island properties has taught us how to work with marble that’s decades or even centuries old.
The key is proper assessment and technique. What looks like permanent damage is often surface-level issues that respond well to professional restoration. We evaluate each situation individually and provide honest recommendations about what’s achievable through restoration versus replacement.
Household steam cleaners pose several risks to marble surfaces. They typically operate at temperatures that cause thermal expansion and contraction, leading to cracking over time. The high heat can also cause a condition called spalling, where the marble surface pits or flakes due to pressure buildup within the stone’s porous structure.
Additionally, household steam cleaners can remove protective sealers, leaving your marble vulnerable to staining and damage. If your marble contains iron compounds, the combination of heat and moisture can cause rust-like discoloration that’s extremely difficult to remove.
Professional equipment allows for precise temperature control and proper technique. We understand how different types of marble respond to steam cleaning and adjust our methods accordingly. The investment in professional service protects your much larger investment in marble surfaces.
Our comprehensive service includes assessment, preparation, professional steam cleaning, and follow-up sealing when appropriate. We start by evaluating your marble’s condition and identifying any areas requiring special attention, such as heavy staining or etching.
The cleaning process itself removes deep-seated contaminants, bacteria, soap residue, and mineral deposits that regular cleaning can’t address. We protect surrounding surfaces and ensure the work area is properly ventilated throughout the process.
After cleaning, we assess whether your marble would benefit from sealing to protect against future staining and damage. All work is performed on-site with dust-free methods, and we provide guidance on proper maintenance to keep your marble looking its best between professional cleanings.
Several signs indicate it’s time for professional steam cleaning. Dullness that doesn’t respond to regular cleaning, persistent water spots, soap scum buildup that won’t come off, or any discoloration suggests deep-seated contamination that requires professional attention.
If your marble feels rough to the touch, has developed a cloudy appearance, or shows signs of mold or mildew in grout lines, professional steam cleaning can address these issues effectively. Etching from acidic spills and scratches from daily wear also benefit from professional restoration.
Don’t wait until problems become severe. Early intervention through professional steam cleaning prevents minor issues from becoming major restoration projects. If you’re unsure about your marble’s condition, we provide free assessments to help you understand what your surfaces need to look their best again.
