Your marble looks the way it did when it was first installed. The shine’s back. The etches are gone. Those dull spots from spilled wine or lemon juice? Erased.
You’re not covering up damage or masking problems. You’re reversing years of wear with a process that grinds down to fresh stone, polishes it to a mirror finish, and seals it so it stays protected. This isn’t a quick buff job—it’s a full restoration that brings back the depth, clarity, and reflection you paid for in the first place.
And it costs a fraction of what you’d spend tearing out and replacing everything. Most clients see their property value climb after professional marble restoration in Upper Manhattan—some by as much as 25%. You’re not just fixing a surface. You’re protecting an investment.
We’ve spent over two decades restoring marble across Manhattan. We’re the only marble restoration company in Upper Manhattan—or anywhere in NYC—to win the national award for Best Marble Restoration in the USA. Twice.
We work in co-ops, condos, brownstones, and commercial lobbies throughout the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, and beyond. We know what winter salt does to your floors. We know how acidic cleaners etch your countertops. And we know how to fix it without tearing anything out.
You’re hiring licensed, insured professionals who show up on time, do the work right, and leave your space cleaner than we found it. No runarounds. No surprises.
We start by inspecting your marble to identify the damage—etches, scratches, stains, cracks, or dullness. Then we map out the restoration process based on what your stone actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Next comes diamond abrasive grinding. We use industrial-grade equipment with progressively finer diamond pads to remove the damaged layer and expose fresh, undamaged stone underneath. This is where scratches disappear and etches get erased. It’s not a topical fix—it’s a structural one.
After grinding, we hone and polish the surface to your desired finish. Most clients want a high-gloss mirror shine, but we can also do honed or satin finishes depending on your preference. Finally, we apply a professional-grade sealer that protects against stains, moisture, and acidic spills. The sealer is invisible but critical—it’s what keeps your marble looking new between maintenance visits.
The whole process usually takes four to eight hours depending on square footage. You can walk on it the same day.

Every marble restoration service in Upper Manhattan includes a full inspection, diamond grinding to remove damage, multi-stage polishing to restore shine, and professional sealing for long-term protection. We also handle crack and chip repairs, stain removal, and grout cleaning if needed.
We work on floors, countertops, vanities, showers, walls, and lobby surfaces. Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, Crema Marfil—we’ve restored them all. If it’s marble, we can bring it back.
Upper Manhattan properties face unique challenges. Winter salt gets tracked in from the sidewalk and eats away at your floors. Low humidity during heating season dries out the stone. Heavy foot traffic in building lobbies wears down the finish faster than in single-family homes. We account for all of that when we plan your restoration and recommend a maintenance schedule that actually fits how you use the space.
You’ll also get transparent pricing before we start. Most marble polishing and restoration projects in Upper Manhattan run between $3 and $8 per square foot for standard work, with more intensive repairs on the higher end. No hidden fees. No upselling mid-job.
Most residential marble floor restoration projects in Upper Manhattan take between four and eight hours depending on the size of the area and the extent of the damage. A typical kitchen countertop usually takes two to four hours. Larger commercial lobbies or multi-room projects can take a full day or more.
The timeline depends on how many passes we need to make with the diamond grinders and how much polishing is required to get the finish you want. Heavy etching or deep scratches take longer to remove than surface dullness. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate after the initial inspection.
You can use the space the same day we finish. The sealer needs a few hours to cure, but you won’t be locked out of your kitchen or unable to walk through your lobby.
Yes. Etch marks are one of the most common problems we fix during marble restoration in Upper Manhattan, and they’re completely reversible with the right process.
Etches happen when acidic substances like lemon juice, vinegar, wine, or most household cleaners burn into the marble and leave a dull white spot. The acid dissolves the calcium carbonate in the stone, which is why the area looks lighter and feels rough. You can’t buff it out with a cloth or fix it with a cleaner—you need to grind down past the damaged layer and re-polish the surface.
That’s exactly what we do. We use diamond abrasives to remove the etched layer, then hone and polish the stone back to a smooth, glossy finish that matches the rest of the surface. Once we’re done, you won’t be able to tell where the etch was. Then we seal it so future spills don’t cause the same damage.
Most marble restoration projects in Upper Manhattan cost between $3 and $8 per square foot for standard grinding, polishing, and sealing. More extensive work—like deep crack repair, heavy stain removal, or multi-stage honing—can run $10 to $15 per square foot depending on the condition of the stone.
A typical kitchen countertop restoration usually falls in the $400 to $800 range. A 200-square-foot lobby floor might run $600 to $1,600 depending on the level of damage and the finish you want. We’ll give you a transparent quote after inspecting the marble so there are no surprises.
Restoration costs a fraction of what you’d pay to replace the marble. A full tear-out and reinstall can easily run $50 to $100 per square foot or more when you factor in demolition, disposal, materials, and labor. Restoring what you already have saves money and gets you the same result—often better, because you’re keeping the original stone.
We restore all types of marble commonly found in Upper Manhattan homes and buildings—Carrara, Calacatta, Statuario, Crema Marfil, Emperador, Thassos, and more. Each type has slightly different hardness and porosity, but the restoration process works the same way: diamond grinding to remove damage, polishing to restore the finish, and sealing for protection.
Carrara is the most common marble we see in Upper Manhattan kitchens and bathrooms. It’s softer and more porous than some other marbles, which means it etches and stains more easily—but it also polishes beautifully once restored. Calacatta and Statuario are higher-end marbles with bold veining, and they respond just as well to professional marble refinishing in Upper Manhattan.
We also work on travertine, limestone, and other natural stones if you have mixed surfaces. The equipment and techniques are similar, though the polishing process varies depending on the stone’s composition.
Sealing should happen every six to twelve months depending on how much use the marble gets. Kitchen countertops typically need annual sealing because they’re exposed to food, liquids, and acidic substances daily. Bathroom vanities can often go longer. Floors in high-traffic areas like building lobbies may need sealing twice a year, especially in Upper Manhattan where winter salt and moisture accelerate wear.
Full marble restoration—grinding, honing, and polishing—is usually needed every two to five years depending on the condition of the stone and how well it’s been maintained. If you’re seeing dullness, scratches, or etches that regular cleaning won’t fix, it’s time for a restoration.
You’ll know it’s time to reseal when water stops beading on the surface and starts soaking in instead. That’s a sign the sealer has worn off and the stone is vulnerable to stains. If you’re not sure, we can test it during an inspection and recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific marble and how you use the space.
