Marble Restoration · Chaska + SW Twin Cities · Owner-operated since 1996
Marble etches easily, scratches readily, and dulls faster than granite. Most homeowners assume aged marble needs to be replaced; almost all of it can be restored. We polish and seal marble countertops, floors, vanities, and fireplace surrounds using progressive-grit techniques that lift the etched top layer, then finish with HydroShield protection that holds the result for years. HydroShield is a licensed, pro-only product; it isn't sold in retail stores or online, only through certified dealers, and Clear View backs the HydroShield application with a 10-year written warranty.

Why marble etching is fixable
Marble is calcium carbonate, which reacts chemically with even mild acids. A glass of red wine, lemon juice, or vinegar left on the surface causes a chemical reaction that dulls the top layer. The damage is real but it's only on the surface; the marble underneath is unchanged. Progressive polishing lifts the etched layer and exposes the unaffected stone underneath. That's the entire reason restoration works.
If your marble has been hit with bathroom cleaner, glass cleaner, or vinegar-based products, it's almost certainly etched. Restoration is the only real fix.
Restore or replace?
Marble is softer than granite and etches from anything mildly acidic. Most of that damage looks worse than it is. Honing and polishing reset the surface; sealing buys you years of forgiveness. We'll only point you toward replacement when restoration genuinely won't carry the load.
Marble is more forgiving than its reputation suggests. Text David a photo and we'll tell you honestly which bucket it sits in.
Transparent Pricing
Marble pricing tracks scope, surface size, depth of damage, and the type of marble. Whiter marbles (Carrara, Calacatta) often need lighter touch; darker marbles or heavily-veined stones take more work. Ranges below are typical project totals. Quote is written and fixed once the surface has been seen.
Localized repair or polish
Typical bathroom or single-run counter
Foyer, bathroom floor, or multiple counters
Heavily etched marble or surfaces that have been damaged by acidic cleaners over years take more polishing passes. We're honest at the assessment about what the work will look like and what it will cost.
The 6-step install
Same approach on every marble project. Marble is more vulnerable than granite, which means the prep and the sealer matter more.
