When is it time to look at terrazzo for your floor?
Most of these start small and get harder to fix the longer they sit, so it pays to have the floor looked at before the slab underneath is involved.
Old terrazzo gone dull
The chips look cloudy and the shine is gone where people walk most. That usually means a worn surface, and grit keeps wearing it down the longer it goes.
Stains that won't wash out
Dark spots that cleaning won't lift have usually soaked in from old spills or a failed sealer, and the longer they sit, the harder they are to draw out.
Cracks or loose pieces
A crack line or chips coming loose usually points to movement in the slab underneath. Left alone, the edges break down and water can work in beneath the floor.
Bare concrete you'd like finished
A plain slab in a basement, entry or shop can take a terrazzo topping once it's flat and sound, which beats living with dusty, stained concrete for years.
Worn tile you're ready to replace
Cracked tiles, broken grout and curling vinyl usually mean the old floor is finished. Waiting tends to let dirt and water work down into the slab below.
A damp or uneven slab
Dark damp patches or a floor that's out of flat need sorting out before any topping goes down, because a new floor won't hold on a bad slab.
How we lay and restore terrazzo flooring
I start every terrazzo job by asking where the floor is and how you'll use it, because that decides between epoxy and cement terrazzo and between poured and tile. Epoxy terrazzo is a thin resin topping laid over a flat concrete slab. It's light and flexible, which suits buildings with more than one story, and it soaks nothing in, so it costs the least to keep up. A poured floor is one of the most durable floors you can put down. Once we've settled the system, I test the slab, our crew grinds and preps it, and we place the terrazzo, let it cure and polish it. On an older floor, we restore what's there and tell you plainly what a restoration can and can't do. The price moves with the size of the floor, the system you choose and how much prep the slab needs, and the schedule turns on that prep and the cure, so my estimate lays out the prep as well as the finish.
Concrete grinding and surface preparation comes first on nearly every terrazzo job, because a topping holds only as well as the slab under it. When the floor is going in a lower level, we look at it alongside our basement flooring work, since that's where we watch the slab most closely.

Terrazzo questions we hear often
These are the questions people ask me most about terrazzo. If your floor raises something different, call or send the form and I'll answer it for your job.
How long does a terrazzo floor last?
Poured terrazzo can last 40 to 100 years depending on maintenance, and it holds up longer than terrazzo tile. The owners who keep up the care get the most years from it, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How much does terrazzo flooring cost per square foot in Kokomo?
Across the US, terrazzo tile or poured terrazzo materials usually cost about $4 to $15 per square foot, with labor added on top. That's the national range for materials, not our price, and poured terrazzo carries higher labor per square foot than tile, so that choice shapes your total. I'll give you your own figure once I've seen the slab.
Can epoxy terrazzo be used for an outdoor floor?
It isn't a good choice outside, because epoxy terrazzo can peel and fade there, and one cost guide recommends cement terrazzo for outdoor floors instead. Cement costs more, so if you're planning an outdoor floor, budget for that from the start.
Will restoring my old terrazzo floor remove every stain?
Not always, because some old stains may not come out even after a full restoration. New chips used for repairs can also differ a bit from the original color, since the mined chips change over time, so I'll tell you what to expect before we start.
How long does terrazzo installation take?
One cost guide puts the install of epoxy or cement terrazzo at roughly one to two days, and longer when the slab needs more prep. The floor then has to fully cure before you use it, and the polishing often happens on a return visit, so plan some time off that floor.
What is the best way to prepare a concrete slab for terrazzo?
Test it first, starting with moisture, because some existing slabs laid on the ground may need extra steps when the results call for them. I test the slab when I come out, and since federal repair guidance says to install terrazzo only between 50°F and 90°F, we'll plan how the room stays in that range.
