Terrazzo Restoration in Boca Raton

Terrazzo flooring is a hallmark of timeless South Florida design—elegant, cool underfoot, and incredibly durable. But in Boca Raton’s coastal environment, even terrazzo can become dull, scratched, or stained over time. At Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration, we specialize in bringing worn terrazzo floors back to a natural, high-end finish without waxes or topical coatings.

Whether you own a mid-century home east of Federal Highway or a contemporary commercial space near Mizner Park, our terrazzo restoration process is designed to reveal the original beauty of your floors and make them easier to maintain long-term.

Our Wet Grind & Wet Polish Terrazzo Process

We use a 100% natural “Wet Grind and Wet Polish” system—no waxes, no plastic-looking coatings. Instead, we refine the actual surface of the terrazzo with diamond tooling and water, creating a dense, reflective finish that resists wear and cleans easily.

Step 1: Deep Grinding with Metal Dot Diamonds

To remove years of wear, scratches, lippage (uneven tiles), and stubborn stains, we start with a controlled grinding phase using Metal Dot Diamond Infused Pads:

• 30 grit – Heavy cut to remove deep scratches, old coatings, and severe wear.
• 60 grit – Refines the floor, leveling and removing the 30-grit scratch pattern.
• 120 grit – Further smooths the surface and prepares it for polishing.

This wet grinding process allows us to correct imperfections while protecting the terrazzo matrix and stone chips. It is ideal for both older terrazzo homes in Boca Raton and high-traffic commercial spaces that have never been properly restored.

Step 2: Progressive Polishing for a Natural Shine

Once the floor is flat and uniform, we switch to Diamond Infused Resin Pads to build a smooth, naturally reflective finish:

• 50 & 100 grit – Remove remaining metal-bond scratches and begin smoothing.
• 200 & 400 grit – Tighten the surface and increase clarity.
• 800 & 1500 grit – Develop a soft sheen or satin finish, if preferred.
• 3000 grit – Achieve a high-end, mirror-like natural polish.

Because the shine comes from the stone itself—not from wax—your restored terrazzo in Boca Raton will look rich and refined without the plastic buildup associated with topical coatings.

Terrazzo Sealing Options

After polishing, we offer several sealing options tailored to your building’s use and desired appearance:

• Oil-Based Sealer – Deep-penetrating protection that enriches color and helps resist stains from spills, oils, and daily use.
• Water-Based Acrylic Sealer – A durable protective layer designed for daily wear protection in busy Boca Raton households and commercial properties.
• Sealer Crystallizer – For clients seeking an “airport” or hotel-lobby look, this system delivers maximum shine and added surface hardness.

We will recommend the best combination based on your floor’s condition, traffic patterns, and maintenance expectations.

Chip & Crack Repairs

Many terrazzo floors in Boca Raton have settlement cracks, chips around doorways, or holes where old fixtures were removed. Our team performs meticulous chip and crack repairs using color-matched materials designed to blend with your existing stone chips and matrix. Once refinished, these repairs become far less noticeable, protecting both the beauty and structural integrity of your floor.

Why We Never Use Wax on Terrazzo

Wax and heavy topical coatings might seem like a quick fix, but they create long-term problems:

• Wax yellows over time, especially in Boca Raton homes with strong natural light.
• It collects dirt and scuffs, leading to a hazy, uneven appearance.
• It requires constant stripping and re-waxing, increasing your maintenance costs.

Our natural grinding and polishing approach eliminates the need for wax. Once restored, your terrazzo is easier to clean and maintain, saving you time and money.

Terrazzo Maintenance Tips for Boca Raton Homes & Businesses

To keep your terrazzo looking its best after restoration:

• Dust mop regularly to remove sand and grit brought in from outside.
• Use neutral-pH cleaners only—avoid acidic or harsh chemicals that can dull the finish.
• Place mats at entryways to catch abrasive debris from Boca Raton’s outdoor areas.

With proper care, your restored terrazzo will remain beautiful and inviting for many years.

Mexican, Spanish & Saltillo Tile Refinishing in Boca Raton

Handcrafted Mexican, Spanish, and Saltillo tile floors are full of character and warmth, but old sealers, grime, and improper maintenance can rob them of their original charm. Our Boca Raton tile refinishing service is designed to restore that authentic “old world” vibration without damaging the tile surface or artwork.

Mechanical Sealer Removal – No Harsh Chemicals

We don’t use any chemicals to remove old sealer. Instead, we rely on controlled, mechanical removal to safely strip away failed coatings, build-up, and embedded soil. This protects both your indoor air quality and the integrity of the tiles themselves.

Multi-Pad Refinishing System

We use a sequence of specialized pads to gently clean and refine your tile:

• Black Pad – Aggressive mechanical removal of heavy sealer build-up.
• Green Pad – Further refinement and residue removal.
• Red Pad – Light cleaning and preparation for final finishing.
• White Polishing Pad – Final buffing for an even, rich look.

Tailored Care for Mexican, Saltillo & Spanish Tile

• Saltillo Tile – Highly porous and rustic, Saltillo demands deep cleaning and proper sealing to prevent staining and flaking. Our process respects its handmade character while improving durability.
• Mexican Clay Tile – We remove dingy coatings and restore the warmth of the clay, highlighting variations in tone that give these floors their signature charm.
• Spanish / Hand-Painted Tile – These tiles often feature delicate artwork and glazes. Our non-chemical, mechanical techniques are designed to clean without stripping away the design.

Sealing Options for Tile Floors

Once restored, we protect your tile with the appropriate sealer:

• Oil-Based Sealer – Penetrates deeply to enrich color and offer strong stain resistance.
• Water-Based Acrylic Sealer – Provides a durable, protective wear layer suitable for everyday traffic in Boca Raton homes and businesses.

The result is a floor that looks authentically aged, not artificially coated—perfect for Mediterranean, coastal, and Spanish-style properties throughout Boca Raton.

Marble, Travertine & Limestone Floor Restoration in Boca Raton

Natural stone floors such as marble, travertine, and limestone add a luxurious touch to Boca Raton residences and commercial properties. Over time, however, traffic patterns, etching, and improper cleaning can leave these surfaces dull and uneven. Our stone restoration service returns your floors to a refined, natural polish—again, without wax.

Grinding: Correcting Damage & Unevenness

We begin by addressing lippage, deep scratches, and heavy wear using Beveled Diamond Infused Disks in progressive grits:

• 30 grit – Heavy grinding to remove severe damage and level tiles.
• 50 grit – Refines the surface and removes 30-grit marks.
• 100 grit – Further smooths and prepares for honing.

Honing: Refining the Stone Surface

The honing phase tightens the stone’s surface and removes fine etching and traffic wear:

• 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 grits – Used as needed to achieve the desired clarity and finish, from matte to satin.

This step is especially important for travertine and limestone, which can be more porous and softer than marble.

Polishing: Achieving a Natural, Reflective Finish

To create a high-end polish without wax, we use finer diamond grits:

• 1500 grit – Begins to develop a clear, reflective sheen.
• 3000 grit – Produces a crisp, natural gloss that enhances the stone’s color and veining.

For added clarity and depth, we then utilize a 5x Polishing Powder, a professional-grade compound that reacts with the stone to heighten its natural luster.

Final Protection: Sealer & Crystallizer

To lock in the finish and increase resistance to wear, we offer:

• Sealer Crystallizer – Helps harden the surface, add shine, and improve scratch resistance—ideal for busy areas in Boca Raton homes and commercial spaces.
• Additional penetrating sealers can be recommended based on the stone type and use.

The end result is a beautifully restored natural stone floor that is easier to maintain and better suited to Boca Raton’s lifestyle and climate.
