Our Services

Marble Doctor offers a unique, customized restoration process based on over 25 years of experience in the natural stone industry. Marble Doctor represents some of the most knowledgeable and expert marble artisans in the D.C. area. The technicians at Marble Doctor use skills taught to them personally by the Donatelli family in Italy. An art form that a very limited number of people take the time to learn or have the talent to perform. Marble Doctor uses an all natural process that has been around far longer than many of the chemicals and waxes people use on stone today.

Marble Doctor recommends a Maintenance Prescription Program, once your floors are properly restored, to keep your natural stone looking its best. This maintenance program can avoid the enormous cost of replacing large areas of marble that may crack or break apart due to improper care.

The technicians at Marble Doctor are thoroughly qualified to provide the following commercial services:

Repair
We repair cracks, gouges and broken stone by hand with specially formulated color match epoxy. We do limited replacement of stone (swap out of individual tiles or stone slabs.) We also remove scratches and stains by honing the stone or using specially formulated cleaners.
Restoration
Stone can be restored to its original luster and finish using the following processes:
Honing
The modern honing process uses a series of different grit industrial diamond pads to remove minute layers of stone until an appropriate finish is achieved or the stone is prepped for polishing. Our machines use water to virtually eliminate dust from the process.
Polishing
Polishing the stone involves a natural polishing powder procured from Italy that has been used through the ages in Europe to polish stone. The powder does not include chemicals, wax or acid like some modern methods (eg., re-crystallization.) This polish enables the machines to heat the floor to a point that the stone's pores open, allowing the polish to enter, naturally sealing the floors from foreign contaminants while bringing out the stone’s original natural finish. This method has been proven over time as the best treatment for stone and is more economical in the long term.
Maintenance
Marble Doctor creates a customized maintenance prescription plan for each of our customers. The plan will help avoid the enormous cost of replacing large areas of natural stone that may crack or break apart due to improper care when the only care given is washing and waxing.
