Your marble shower walls gleam without water spots or soap buildup. The grout lines look fresh and sealed. Every surface feels smooth to the touch again.
You walk into your bathroom and actually feel proud of it. No more avoiding that corner where the hard water stains used to be. No more wondering if guests notice the dullness.
The marble looks like it did when you first fell in love with it. Clean, bright, and protected against future damage.
High Definition Marble Restoration Inc has been restoring marble in South Hempstead, NY since 1998. We’re the company that gets called when other contractors mess up your stone.
Featured in the New York Times for our restoration work, we specialize in the kind of challenging projects that make other companies nervous. Historic marble, damaged surfaces, complex materials – that’s where we thrive.
You’re dealing with the owner directly, not a salesperson. That means real expertise, honest answers, and work that actually gets done right the first time.
First, we assess your marble surfaces to determine the right steam cleaning approach. Not all marble can handle the same treatment, and we know the difference.
We use professional-grade vapor steam equipment that reaches the right temperature – hot enough to clean effectively, controlled enough to protect your stone. This isn’t the same equipment you buy at the store.
After steam cleaning, we address any etching or damage we uncover. Then we seal everything properly so your marble stays protected. The whole process typically takes one to two days, and you can use your bathroom the next day.

Steam cleaning for marble shower walls, backsplashes, and bathroom surfaces. We handle the soap scum, hard water deposits, and mineral buildup that regular cleaners can’t touch.
Grout cleaning and sealing to prevent future staining. Re-caulking where needed to stop water damage before it starts.
In South Hempstead’s older homes, we often find marble that’s been damaged by previous cleaning attempts. We can usually restore these surfaces instead of replacing them – saving you thousands compared to a full renovation.
Yes, when done correctly with professional equipment and expertise. The key is using the right temperature and technique for your specific type of marble.
Most damage from steam cleaning happens when people use residential steam cleaners that get too hot, or when they don’t understand how different marbles react to heat. We use commercial-grade vapor steam equipment that’s precisely controlled.
We’ve been steam cleaning marble in South Hempstead since 1998. We know which marbles can handle aggressive cleaning and which need a gentler approach.
Every 6 to 12 months for shower areas, depending on usage and water quality. Marble is porous, and shower environments create perfect conditions for harmful microorganisms to grow in those tiny crevices.
Regular professional cleaning isn’t just about appearance – it’s about preventing long-term damage. Hard water deposits and soap scum get harder to remove the longer they sit, and eventually they can cause permanent etching.
South Hempstead’s water tends to be on the harder side, so we typically recommend staying closer to the 6-month schedule if you use your shower daily.
Yes, but it requires the right approach and professional-grade products. Most bathroom cleaners that can remove hard water deposits are too aggressive for marble and will cause etching or discoloration.
We use specialized techniques that break down mineral deposits without attacking the marble surface. Sometimes this involves multiple steps – steam cleaning first, then targeted treatment for stubborn deposits, followed by proper sealing.
The key is catching these stains before they become permanent. Once hard water deposits etch into the marble surface, you’re looking at restoration work, not just cleaning.
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature vapor to break down contaminants that regular cleaners can’t touch. It’s particularly effective for soap scum, mold, and mineral deposits in shower areas.
Regular marble cleaning focuses on daily maintenance and surface dirt. Steam cleaning is more intensive – it’s what you need when regular cleaning isn’t enough anymore, or when you’re dealing with buildup that’s accumulated over months or years.
We often combine steam cleaning with restoration work if we find etching or damage underneath the buildup. That’s something you won’t get from a regular cleaning service.
Most marble steam cleaning projects in South Hempstead take one to two days, depending on the size of the area and the condition of the marble.
Day one involves the actual steam cleaning, assessment of any damage we uncover, and initial restoration work if needed. Day two covers sealing and final touches. You can typically use your shower the next day.
We work efficiently, but we don’t rush. Proper steam cleaning and sealing takes time to do right, and cutting corners usually means you’ll need the work redone sooner.
Steam cleaning alone removes buildup and contaminants, but restoring shine usually requires additional polishing work. Most marble that looks dull has both surface buildup and etching underneath.
After steam cleaning reveals the true condition of your marble, we can determine what restoration work is needed. Sometimes it’s just polishing, sometimes we need to hone and re-polish sections that have been damaged.
The good news is that most marble can be restored to look better than when it was first installed. We’ve brought 100-year-old marble back to life in South Hempstead homes – yours is probably much easier to fix.
