We’ve been restoring marble in Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 25 years. We understand Inwood’s unique housing landscape, where many properties feature original marble installations that now need expert care.
Our owner-operator approach means you work directly with experienced craftsmen, not sales teams or subcontractors. We’ve been featured in the New York Times for our restoration expertise, and we specialize in challenging, historic restoration work that many companies won’t attempt.
Inwood homeowners choose us because we understand that your marble represents a significant investment in your home. We treat it that way – with the respect and expertise it deserves.

Next comes the actual restoration work using professional-grade diamond grinding and polishing equipment designed specifically for natural stone.

Yes, marble tub decks with hard water damage can absolutely be restored. Hard water creates white mineral buildup, streaks, and etching that regular cleaners can’t remove—and many bathroom cleaners actually make the damage worse by being too acidic for marble.
Professional tub deck restoration involves specialized cleaning to remove mineral deposits, re-polishing etched areas, repairing any cracks or chips, and comprehensive re-caulking and re-grouting. The process also includes mold and mildew removal, stain reduction, and sealing to protect against future water damage. The key is using the right techniques and materials. Amateur attempts often cause permanent damage because marble is easily etched by acidic cleaners or abraded by harsh scrubbing.
Most marble tub deck restoration projects in Inwood take 1 to 3 days depending on the size of the area and extent of restoration needed. Simple polishing of a small tub surround might be completed in a few hours, while comprehensive restoration of large jacuzzi decks takes longer.
The process is done on-site and dust-free in 99% of cases, so you don’t need to vacate your home or move furniture. Day one typically involves assessment, surface preparation, and the initial restoration work. Day two focuses on polishing, sealing, and final details. You can usually resume normal use of the space the day after completion, though the full curing process for protective sealers takes about a week.
Absolutely – historic marble restoration is actually our specialty. We’ve been restoring marble in Nassau and Suffolk Counties since 1998, with particular expertise in 100+ year old installations that other contractors won’t touch. Historic properties often have marble that’s actually higher quality than modern alternatives, making restoration much more valuable than replacement.
Older marble requires different techniques than modern stone. We understand the quarrying methods, finishing styles, and installation practices used in different eras, which affects how we approach each restoration project. We’ve successfully restored marble from the early 1900s that looks better than new installations. The quarrying and finishing methods were different, and the marble may have developed unique patina and character over the decades that we preserve while addressing damage and wear.
Properly maintained marble tub decks stay beautiful much longer after professional restoration. The protective sealer we apply during restoration makes routine cleaning easier and helps prevent the staining and etching that originally damaged your marble.
Use pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon-based products, or standard bathroom cleaners that can etch the marble surface. Clean spills immediately, especially from soap, shampoo, or beauty products. For Inwood’s coastal conditions, we recommend professional cleaning and inspection every 6-12 months to address salt air effects and humidity damage before they become problems.
Restoration costs 60-80% less than replacement while delivering superior results. Quality marble tub deck restoration can increase your property value by up to 25%, making it one of the best home improvement investments available in Inwood’s competitive real estate market.
Replacement involves weeks of demolition, plumbing work, and installation that disrupts your entire bathroom. Restoration is completed in 1-3 days with minimal mess and no structural changes. You keep the original craftsmanship and character of your marble while getting performance that’s actually better than new. Historic marble often has superior density and quality compared to modern alternatives. Professional restoration brings out the natural beauty that develops in quality marble over time while addressing all functional issues.
