Terrazzo Restoration in Plantation

Terrazzo flooring is one of the most elegant and durable surfaces you can have in your home or business in Plantation. But years of foot traffic, spills, improper cleaning products, and past wax coatings can leave terrazzo dull, scratched, or yellowed. Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration specializes in bringing terrazzo back to its original, natural beauty using a true professional “wet grind and wet polish” process — never wax.

Serving discerning homeowners and business owners throughout Plantation, we restore terrazzo floors to a smooth, reflective finish that is easier to maintain and designed to last.

Our Wet Grind & Wet Polish Terrazzo Process in Plantation

Unlike quick “shine” methods that rely on topical waxes or coatings, our approach is a full mechanical restoration of your terrazzo. Everything we do is designed to expose fresh stone, refine the surface, and create a natural, long-lasting polish.

Step 1: Assessment & Protection

• Inspect existing terrazzo for cracks, chips, stains, and previous coatings.
• Protect adjacent walls, baseboards, cabinetry, and furnishings in your Plantation property.
• Plan custom repair and finish options based on the way your space is used (residential, retail, office, etc.).

Step 2: Wet Grinding – Metal Dot Diamond Infused Pads

To remove years of wear, old coatings, and deep scratches, we perform a true wet grind of your terrazzo using Metal Dot Diamond Infused Pads:

• 30 grit – Heavy cut to remove lippage (uneven tiles), deep scratches, and stubborn coatings.
• 60 grit – Refines the surface, removing 30-grit marks while continuing to flatten the floor.
• 120 grit – Smooths the terrazzo and prepares it for the polishing sequence.

This grinding phase is done wet to control dust, protect indoor air quality, and give you a safer restoration environment in your Plantation home or business.

Step 3: Chip & Crack Repairs

After the initial grind, we address structural and cosmetic issues in your terrazzo:

• Repair chips and holes caused by furniture, impact, or previous carpet tack strips.
• Fill and blend cracks to reduce visibility and prevent further damage.
• Color-match repair materials to your existing aggregate and matrix for a cohesive look.

Step 4: Wet Polishing – Diamond Infused Resins

Once the surface is flat and repaired, we move through multiple stages of Diamond Infused Resin pads to build a natural, reflective sheen — with no waxes or coatings:

• 50 & 100 grit – Begin the refining process after metal grinding.
• 200 & 400 grit – Tighten the surface, increasing clarity and smoothness.
• 800 & 1500 grit – Develop a soft, elegant sheen.
• 3000 grit – Achieve a high-end, natural polish that highlights the character of your terrazzo.

The result is a glossy, stone-polished finish that reflects light beautifully, even in demanding commercial spaces around Plantation.

Step 5: Professional Sealing Options

After polishing, we apply a sealer tailored to the way you live or work:

• Oil-based Sealer – Deep penetration into the terrazzo matrix for long-lasting protection and enhanced color depth.
• Water-based Acrylic Sealer – Ideal for daily wear protection and a more subtle sheen in residential settings.
• Sealer Crystallizer – For maximum shine and a hard “airport finish” in high-traffic commercial areas in Plantation.

Why We Never Use Wax on Terrazzo

Many floors in Plantation are still being coated with waxes or “maintenance polishes” as a shortcut to shine. Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration takes a different, more durable approach.

• Wax Yellows Over Time: Especially under UV exposure, wax turns yellow, making floors look aged and dirty.
• Wax Collects Dirt: It acts like a dust magnet, trapping soil and requiring frequent stripping and recoating.
• Higher Long-Term Costs: Constant waxing and stripping cost more over time than a proper natural polish.
• Natural Polishing is Low Maintenance: A mechanically polished terrazzo only needs simple, routine care.

By relying on true diamond grinding and polishing instead of wax, we give Plantation property owners a brighter, clearer terrazzo floor with lower maintenance and longer life.

Daily Care & Maintenance for Terrazzo in Plantation

After we restore your terrazzo, maintaining its beauty is simple:

• Dust mop regularly with a microfiber or treated dust mop to remove grit that can scratch the surface.
• Use neutral pH cleaners designed for stone or terrazzo — no harsh acids, alkaline degreasers, or abrasive powders.
• Wipe spills promptly to minimize staining and etching.
• Use furniture pads under chairs, tables, and heavy items.

With these basic steps, your restored terrazzo in Plantation will stay bright and inviting for years.

Mexican, Spanish & Saltillo Tile Refinishing in Plantation

Mexican, Spanish, and Saltillo tiles bring warmth, color, and old-world charm to homes and businesses throughout Plantation. Over time, however, thick sealers, grime, and improper maintenance can mask their natural vibration and beauty. Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration specializes in carefully refinishing these handcrafted surfaces without damaging their character.

No Chemical Strippers – Only Mechanical Removal

We don’t use any chemicals to remove old sealer. Instead, we rely on controlled mechanical removal that gently abrades the old layers without attacking the tile body or the grout. This approach is safer for your indoor environment and kinder to delicate, handmade surfaces.

Our Tile Refinishing Process

We use a combination of professional pads to gradually clean and refine your tile:

• Black Pad – Initial cut to break down heavy sealer build-up and embedded soils.
• Green Pad – Intermediate cleaning to refine the surface and remove residual coatings.
• Red Pad – Light cleaning and preparation for final finishing.
• White Polishing Pad – Final buff and enhancement to restore a clean, natural presentation.

Sealing Your Mexican & Saltillo Tiles

Once cleaned and refined, we seal your tiles for protection and beauty:

• Oil-based sealer – Excellent for deep penetration and enhancing the rich, earthy tones typical of Saltillo and Mexican pavers.
• Water-based acrylic sealer – Provides a protective, easier-to-maintain surface with a range of sheen options.

Special Care for Saltillo & Spanish Tiles

• Saltillo (highly porous and rustic) – Requires careful saturation with sealer to guard against staining and moisture while preserving its handmade, rustic look.
• Spanish / Hand-Painted Tiles – We use gentle, controlled processes to protect the glaze and painted designs while removing soiling and outdated coatings.

Whether you have a cozy Saltillo patio or a Spanish-style foyer in Plantation, we bring back the warmth and authenticity that made you fall in love with these tiles in the first place.

Marble, Travertine & Limestone Floor Restoration in Plantation

Natural stone floors — marble, travertine, and limestone — lend a luxurious, timeless presence to Plantation properties. Over time, however, they can become scratched, etched, or dull. Our comprehensive stone floor care restores clarity, smoothness, and natural shine through precise Grinding, Honing, and Polishing.

Phase 1: Grinding – Beveled Diamond Infused Disks

For floors with lippage, deep scratches, or heavy wear, we begin with a full grind using Beveled Diamond Infused Disks:

• 30 grit – Levels the floor, removing lippage and severe damage.
• 50 grit – Refines 30-grit marks and begins to smooth the surface.
• 100 grit – Prepares the stone for the honing steps.

Phase 2: Honing – Refining the Stone

Honing removes fine scratches and etches while tightening the stone’s surface:

• 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 grits – Each pass progressively refines the surface, improving clarity and smoothness and setting the stage for a premium polish.

Phase 3: Polishing – Natural Shine Without Wax

To achieve a refined, elegant finish — from soft matte to high gloss — we polish your marble, travertine, or limestone using:

• 1500 & 3000 grit pads – Build a natural, reflective shine that enhances veining and color without the need for wax.
• 5x Polishing Powder – Used as needed to further enhance gloss and clarity on marble and some limestones.
• Sealer Crystallizer – Added on select surfaces for a durable, high-sheen “airport finish” in busy areas.

The result is a beautifully restored stone floor in your Plantation property that looks luxurious yet remains practical for everyday living and business operations.
