How do you know it's time to trade your floor for terrazzo?

  • Cracked or hollow tile

    You step on a tile and hear a hollow click, or a corner has cracked clean through. That usually means the tile has let go of the floor under it, and the longer you wait, the more tiles follow and the more patching the base needs before anything new goes down.

  • Grout that won't come clean

    The grout lines have gone gray no matter how hard you scrub, because grout is porous and soaks up dirt and spills over the years. Every month you put up with it is another month on your knees with a brush for a floor that still looks tired.

  • Dark or damp patches

    You spot dark areas on the slab, a white powdery film, or a musty smell where the carpet meets the floor. That usually means moisture is coming up through the concrete, and you want to find that out before a new floor goes on top, not after.

What does it take to put terrazzo in a Pinecrest home?

Terrazzo flooring is a floor of marble, granite or glass chips held in a binder, poured in place and ground smooth. For homes in Pinecrest we usually install it as epoxy terrazzo, which gives you one hard, polished surface with no grout lines to scrub.

Most folks who call me about terrazzo are done with tired tile or carpet and want a floor that looks like it was built into the house, not laid on top of it. What moves the price is the size of the room, what's on the floor now, how much work the base needs and how many chip colors and patterns you pick, while the schedule turns mostly on that base work and on the slab being dry enough to pour. I'll give you your own number once I've seen the floor, because a photo can't tell me how flat the base really is.

How we install terrazzo flooring

In a house that's already built, I'll usually point you to an epoxy terrazzo system, because it's the one made for updating an existing home. Before anything gets poured, the base has to be flat and dry, so our crew checks what's underfoot now, takes up anything that won't make a sound base and grinds and fills until the surface is level. Then we set the divider strips that hold your pattern, mix the epoxy with the stone and glass you chose, pour it, let it cure and grind it down until the chips show through clean and smooth. Before any of that, I'll sit down with you over the stone and glass choices and the care the floor will want, so you know what you're living with before you pay for it.

Terrazzo often rides along with other work. If your slab needs more than a light pass before the pour, our concrete grinding and surface preparation is how we get it flat and clean, and if you're weighing floors for a lower room that tends to run damp, it's worth looking at our basement flooring options before you settle on a finish.

Work that often goes with terrazzo

  • Concrete Grinding & Surface Preparation

    When an old slab is uneven, patched or coated, grinding it first gives a terrazzo floor the flat, clean base it needs to sit right.

  • Basement Flooring

    For a room below grade or one that stays damp, we'll talk through floors that handle moisture before you commit to one that can't.

What happens when you call about terrazzo in Pinecrest?

  1. Call or send the form

    Call (786) 435-0197 or send the form with the room and what's on the floor now. We'll find a time for me to come out that fits your week.

  2. I come look at the floor

    I check the slab, tell you what it can and can't take, and hear what look you have in mind. You get a written estimate that spells out the prep along with the finish, so the base work never shows up later as a surprise.

  3. We prep, pour and grind

    Once we set a date, our installers do the work and I'm on site with them through the job. The base work comes first, then the pour, the cure and the grinding.

  4. We walk the floor together

    Before we pack up, we walk the finished floor with you so you can look it over in good light. Chip by chip, if you're the type.

Questions before you book terrazzo flooring

Can terrazzo go over my existing tile floor?

Usually, yes, as long as it's epoxy terrazzo, which can go over existing tile, marble, brick pavers or wood once the base is flat. Traditional cement sand-cushion terrazzo is generally too thick and heavy for a renovation, which is why I steer existing homes toward epoxy. Epoxy terrazzo doesn't handle moisture well, so a moisture barrier, a layer that keeps dampness from coming up into the floor, is a standard part of the job, and we plan the pour for dry conditions.

How much does terrazzo flooring cost in Pinecrest?

Installing terrazzo flooring across the US usually costs about $14 to $17 per square foot, and that's the going rate nationally, not our price. Where your floor lands comes down to the room size, the chips and pattern you pick and, most of all, how much the base needs before the pour. Your written estimate spells that out line by line after I've seen the floor.

How do I care for a terrazzo floor?

Dust-mop it daily and clean it with a pH-neutral cleaner, a mild one that's neither acidic nor alkaline. Cement-based terrazzo also gets sealed every year with an acrylic sealer, but epoxy terrazzo skips that step, so the kind we usually install asks less of you each year.

Can old stains come out when terrazzo is restored?

Some can, but some staining may not come out when an older terrazzo floor is restored. If you have one, ask early which stains are likely to stay, and I'll tell you what I see while I'm looking at it, before you decide whether to restore it or start over.

Do I need a permit for terrazzo flooring in Pinecrest?

The State of Florida and the Village of Pinecrest set which work needs a permit, so before we start we check with the village on whether your job does. If it does, you and a registered contractor both sign and notarize the application, and as a licensed and fully insured contractor we handle our side and walk you through yours. It's not a step to skip, because in Pinecrest work done without a required permit can face removal or other costly fixes, and the village checks work against the Florida Building Code.

How long does a terrazzo floor last?

The terrazzo trade association calls both cement and epoxy terrazzo highly durable and long-lasting, with a grout-free finish. In its view both can be repaired and refinished for the life of the building, so a worn floor gets renewed rather than torn out. Our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
