Your marble walls and shower surfaces don’t have to stay dull and stained. Steam cleaning removes years of buildup while protecting the stone underneath.
You get back the original beauty without the risk of damage that comes with harsh chemicals or inexperienced cleaning. The process actually strengthens your marble by increasing its density and compression strength.
No more worrying about whether your cleaning method is slowly destroying your investment. Your restored surfaces resist future stains and daily wear better than before.
We’ve been restoring Huntington’s historic stone surfaces since 1998. We understand the unique challenges that come with Long Island’s older homes and their delicate marble features.
Huntington’s rich architectural history means many homes have marble installed decades or even centuries ago. These surfaces need specialized care that respects their age while bringing back their beauty.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen, not subcontractors who might not understand your stone’s specific needs.
We start by identifying your specific marble type and its current condition. Different stones require different approaches, and we adjust our steam cleaning process accordingly.
Our specialized equipment combines controlled steam with soft brush vertical scrubbing designed specifically for delicate stone surfaces. This removes deep-seated dirt and stains without the abrasive action that can scratch or etch your marble.
The steam penetrates porous areas to lift out contaminants while the controlled brushing action polishes the surface. We finish with appropriate sealing to protect against future damage and make ongoing maintenance easier.

Steam cleaning covers all your marble wall surfaces including shower walls, backsplashes, and decorative wall features. We handle everything from minor cleaning to full restoration of heavily stained or damaged areas.
Huntington’s coastal climate creates unique challenges for marble surfaces. Salt air and humidity can accelerate wear and create conditions for mold growth in grout lines and porous stone areas.
Our process addresses these local environmental factors. We remove existing buildup, restore the stone’s natural protective qualities, and apply appropriate sealers that work well in Long Island’s climate conditions.
Professional steam cleaning actually protects historic marble when done correctly. Our controlled steam process uses pH-neutral treatments and specialized soft-brush equipment designed specifically for delicate stone surfaces.
The key is understanding your marble’s composition and age. Historic marble often has different characteristics than modern stone, and we adjust our approach accordingly. Improper cleaning with harsh chemicals or aggressive scrubbing can cause permanent etching or staining.
Our process strengthens the marble by removing contaminants that weaken the stone over time. The result is a surface that’s cleaner, stronger, and better protected against future damage.
Marble shower walls typically need professional steam cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage and water quality. Huntington’s hard water can accelerate mineral buildup, requiring more frequent attention.
Daily steam from showers creates the perfect environment for soap scum, mineral deposits, and even mold growth in grout lines. Regular professional cleaning prevents these issues from becoming permanent stains or damage.
Between professional cleanings, use only pH-neutral cleaners and avoid anything acidic. Even natural cleaners like vinegar or lemon can etch marble surfaces permanently.
Steam cleaning penetrates deep into the marble’s porous structure to remove contaminants that surface cleaning can’t reach. Regular cleaning only addresses what’s visible on the surface.
The controlled steam process lifts out oils, soap residue, and mineral deposits that have soaked into the stone over months or years. This deep cleaning restores the marble’s natural ability to resist stains and maintain its appearance.
Steam cleaning also sanitizes the surface naturally without harsh chemicals. This is especially important for shower areas where bacteria and mold can develop in the warm, moist environment.
Yes, kitchen marble backsplashes present unique cleaning challenges that steam cleaning handles effectively. Cooking oils, food acids, and daily splashing create stubborn stains that regular cleaning can’t remove.
Steam cleaning removes grease buildup and food stains without the harsh degreasers that can damage marble. The process is particularly effective on textured or honed marble surfaces where residue gets trapped in the stone’s natural texture.
We protect surrounding surfaces and appliances during the process. The steam cleaning also sanitizes the area, which is crucial for food preparation surfaces where bacteria can accumulate in porous stone.
Most residential marble steam cleaning projects take 2-4 hours, depending on the area size and condition of the stone. Heavily stained or neglected surfaces may require additional time for proper restoration.
We work efficiently but never rush the process. Each area needs adequate time for the steam to penetrate and lift contaminants. Rushing can leave residue behind or require multiple treatments.
The surface is ready to use immediately after cleaning, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before applying any new products to allow the stone to fully dry and any sealers to cure properly.
We provide a one-year warranty on our restoration and cleaning work. This covers the quality of our cleaning process and any protective treatments we apply during the service.
The warranty doesn’t cover new damage from improper maintenance or use of inappropriate cleaning products after our service. We provide detailed care instructions to help you maintain the results.
If you notice any issues with the cleaning quality or protective treatments within the warranty period, we’ll return to address the problem at no additional cost. Our goal is your complete satisfaction with the restored marble surfaces.
