FAQ: Should I use a professional marble maintenance company?

foyer with vase compressed 1200x507

Choosing to use a professional marble company depends on the extent of the maintenance needed and your level of experience. If you have minor stains or scratches on your marble, you may be able to take care of it yourself with the proper cleaning and polishing products. However, if you have deep scratches, etching, or other significant damage, it may be best to consult with a professional.

Professional marble maintenance companies have the expertise, tools, and products needed to restore and maintain marble surfaces. They can also provide guidance on the proper care and maintenance of marble, which can help to extend the life of your marble surfaces and prevent future damage. A sample of our work can be found in our project gallery.

If you choose to use a professional marble maintenance company, be sure to choose a reputable company with experienced artisans. Please reach out to us at 703-631-4625 or submit a contact request through our website to receive a free consultation.

    John Stanton

    Hassle-free service! I had a contractor remodel two bathrooms this past summer. Since the first small bath worked out great, I had him move ahead with the master bath, but I changed materials on him, 1/2″ thick marble in 3 different sizes, instead of regular tile. The marble tile floor turned out to be a challenge. The tiles were uneven, with a lot of lippage and sharp edges on the end results. Marble Doctor to the rescue! They came, saw, gave me a quote, then patiently waited for me to decide. That allowed me to compare prices. They gave me the better deal, so we scheduled a date. They showed up on time and got to work immediately and efficiently, with no mess left behind. The results were better than I expected. I now have the floor I envisioned, silky smooth, even marble floors! 🙂

    Jessie Alvarez

    Came on time. Did a good job

    Marilyn Siwek

    We had a very small residential job in DC – a powder room with onyx tiles. It had been damaged by a cleaning company that used some cleaner that ate the finish. We had installed it 12 years ago and it had dulled over time and under the influence of many children who are not good at aiming. Jose did a great job and now it’s beautiful! Back to what it looked like when we moved in! Amazing. I’m so excited about it!

    Dan T

    My wife and I had a 2-month bathroom remodel nightmare and Marble Doctor came in and saved the day, doing in two hours what no one else could do in weeks! We had slate grey floor tile installed and the tile guys were very sloppy and slow They got grout dust, drywall dust and adhesive all over the tiles and left it there for weeks during construction When it was finally time to clean the tiles it could not be done The tile had absorbed everything and looked like an old chalkboard We tried everything including me scrubbing each tile on my hands and knees for hours As soon as it would dry, it looked awful We thought we were going to have to spend thousands to rip it all up and start over Dan assured me they could do it and in two hours, Jose had not only cleaned all the tile but had sealed it with a color enhancer and it is beautiful my wife and I are finally going out this weekend to buy bathroom stuff after 11 weeks of contractor hell Thank you Marble Doctor for getting us to victory!

    Steve Wood

    We had a cleaning service ruin our new porcelain tile floors with some type of cleaning product. Marble Dr. came in and fully restored them to their original shine. Just clean with warm water they said, no need to apply polish. Very happy. Fully recommend. Service: Marble cleaning & restoration

    Fuller OConnor

    These guys ROCK! Major mishap by home owner, bleached Pennsylvania Blue Stone while using Ice Melt. Marble Doctor successfully restored Blue Stone walkway & sealed Blue Stone walkway. We highly recommend!

    Bill Moser

    I had a deep, unsightly stain on my quartzite bathroom counter caused by caustic toilet cleaner that had dripped down the side of the bottle. The Marble Doctor specialists took two hours to carefully remove the stain and re-polish the area. The result was better than I hoped for — there is no depression or remaining stain and the area is just as polished and shiny as its surroundings. It’s as if it never happened. I can’t say enough about their high-quality, professional work at a very reasonable cost. Service: Bathroom countertop installation & repair

    Mark Kontos

    Great company offering old world quality stone care for competitive prices. They restored my counter tops that had issues I did not think were fixable. They nailed it and did so professionally. I recommend them and will use them again.

    Paul Isenman

    Positive: Professionalism , Quality , Responsiveness In preparation for putting our house on the market, Marble Doctors cleaned and re-caulked the bathroom tile for us. I couldn’t believe the change; the bathrooms looked brand new. I am very specific about matching caulk colors, and they were terrific working with me on my concerns. Very easy to deal with, as well. Would highly recommend.

    Nancy Walcott

    Positive: Professionalism , Punctuality , Quality , Responsiveness , Value Marble Doctor was great. Our new home’s marble countertops were not sealed at delivery and quickly suffered surface damage. Marble Doctor came and polished each one back to perfection and sealed them properly. We couldn’t be happier with the work they did. Professional, courteous, and accommodating.Highly recommend them. Services: Countertops , Marble restoration

    Dave Hagy

    Amazing, they turned a dull, common, lackluster stone floor into a thing of real beauty. They did the same thing with a counter top. I will always use them for my stone finishing work

    Peter Hampel

    We had an excellent experience cleaning up and refinishing our master bath. Dan was quick with an estimate and Hector and the crew showed up the next day. We were so pleased with the outcome. It looks as good as the day they installed it. We could not be more pleased. The crew was great and left ZERO mess.

    Geo S

    Very impressed with the Marble Doctor. They did a fabulous job restoring my very etched and dull marble countertops. The marble restorers that worked at my house were really great at what they do, very professional, friendly and accommodating to family members working from home who needed a quiet house for a short time. Thanks so much! Service: Countertops

    Penny Atchley

    Positive: Professionalism , Punctuality , Value The Marble Doctor polished my foyer. It looks brand new! The gentleman who did the work was very clean and thorough. This is the second time they have been used for my foyer.

    Brenda Feeney

    We scheduled our marble kitchen countertops with Matt S. and they were able to fit us in the next week between some bigger job. The price was very reasonable. Jose M. and Jose R. were pleasant, worked quickly, and very meticulous about keeping everything in the area covered. Clean-up was perfect and we were completely satisfied with the craftsmanship. Service: Countertops

    Glenn Hediger

    Dan visited our house to give us advice on a flagstone issue and was very helpful and professional offering us several options for a remedy. He also gave us advice and information on our granite countertop. I highly recommend this company if you want professional advice or service that is honest and reasonably priced.

    Mary Bond

    Thank you for repairing my travertine patio—it looks great! It looks beautiful! -before, the grout was cracking and there was spalding, but now my travertine patio looks spectacular! I appreciate the expert grout work, honing & cleaning, and sealing. The new grout matches the old grout really well and the honing and cleaning that was done makes the travertine look really amazing! – it got rid of so many marks and the dirt. I appreciate being given all the specs on what was being used to get the job done so well
