Metal Man Restoration brings dull, scratched, and etched stone back to a finish you would expect from new. We restore and polish marble, granite, terrazzo, and travertine floors, lobbies, countertops, and vanities across Mount Vernon and Westchester County, and we repair the chips and cracks most companies simply fill and leave visible.
Marble Restoration and Floor Polishing
Marble is soft, porous, and quick to show wear. Foot traffic dulls it, spills etch it, and grit scratches the surface. We hone marble back to a flat, even plane, then polish it to the finish you want, removing scratches, dull spots, chips, cracks, and acid etching along the way. We also supply marble-safe cleaners so the floor keeps its finish after we leave.
Granite, Terrazzo, and Travertine Restoration
Granite holds up well but still loses its polish at entries and around sinks. Terrazzo and travertine are porous and take damage from foot traffic and spills. We clean, fill chips and cracks, polish out scratches and dull spots, and convert open travertine to a filled, easy-to-clean surface. Repairs are color-matched and blended so the patch does not read as a patch.
Chip, Crack, and Etch Repair
We assess each chip for size, spread, type, and color, then match it with a color-matched portland cement or epoxy resin. The repair is honed flat and polished with the surrounding stone so it blends into the existing floor rather than sitting proud of it. Acid etching from cleaners, wine, or citrus is polished out rather than covered.
Honing, Polishing, and Sealing: Picking the Right Finish
Matte, semi-gloss, and gloss all wear differently. A high-gloss lobby looks striking but shows every scuff, while a honed finish hides traffic better in a busy entry. We talk through the room, the traffic, and the maintenance you are willing to do, then hone or polish to that finish and seal the stone so spills have time to be wiped up.
Countertops, Vanities, and Stair Treads
Stone restoration is not only floors. We refinish kitchen and bathroom countertops, vanity tops, windowsills, stair treads, and thresholds. Countertops are usually done on-site in a day, and we mask and contain the work so the rest of the room stays usable.

Common Questions About Marble and Stone Restoration
These are the questions Westchester homeowners, building managers, and designers ask us most about marble and stone.
Can a dull, scratched marble floor really be restored?
Yes. In most cases the marble is not damaged, it is worn. Honing removes a thin layer of stone to take the scratches out, and polishing brings the shine back. Replacement is rarely necessary.
How much does marble floor polishing cost?
It depends on square footage, the current condition, and the finish you want. A lightly worn floor that only needs polishing costs far less than one that needs honing, chip repair, and sealing. We quote after seeing the floor.
Can you work around a lobby or office that stays open?
Yes. We section the work, contain dust, and schedule around building hours where needed so the space keeps working while we do.
Will you seal the stone when you are done?
Yes. Sealing is part of the job. It does not make stone stain-proof, but it buys you time to wipe up a spill before it soaks in.
Do you repair chips and cracks or only polish?
Both. We color-match and fill chips and cracks, then hone and polish the repair flush with the surrounding stone so it blends in.
