Terrazzo Restoration in Palm Beach Gardens

Terrazzo floors are a hallmark of refined South Florida design—durable, elegant, and timeless. But over the years, even the best terrazzo in Palm Beach Gardens homes and businesses can become dull, stained, or uneven. At Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration, we specialize exclusively in high-end floor restoration, bringing worn terrazzo back to a smooth, glass-like finish without waxes or topical coatings.

Our process is a true wet grind and wet polish system that works with the original terrazzo surface. We restore the stone itself rather than covering it up. The result is a naturally polished floor that is easier to maintain and perfectly suited to the coastal lifestyle of Palm Beach Gardens.

Our Wet Grind & Wet Polish Terrazzo Process

Every terrazzo floor is different, but the foundation of our process remains the same: expert surface preparation, precise mechanical grinding, progressive polishing, and tailored sealing. This is a 100% mechanical, non-wax restoration system.

1. Surface Preparation & Evaluation

• Walk-through inspection of your Palm Beach Gardens property
• Identification of cracks, chips, stains, and previous coatings
• Protection of adjacent surfaces, baseboards, and built-ins
• Moisture and movement evaluation where necessary

2. Metal Dot Diamond Grinding (30, 60, 120 Grit)

We begin by flattening and resurfacing the terrazzo using Metal Dot Diamond Infused Pads in a progressive sequence:

• 30 grit: Opens the surface, removes heavy wear, lippage, and deep scratches.
• 60 grit: Refines the initial cut, smoothing out grinding marks.
• 120 grit: Further levels and closes the surface, preparing it for resin polishing.

This wet grinding step removes years of traffic lanes, etching, and discoloration, revealing the original aggregate and terrazzo matrix beneath. Because it is a wet process, dust is minimized—important for occupied homes, condos, and commercial spaces in Palm Beach Gardens.

3. Diamond Resin Polishing (50–3000 Grit)

Once the surface is properly ground, we move to Diamond Infused Resin Pads, gradually refining the floor to achieve a natural, long-lasting shine:

• 50 grit: Starts the resin stage, removing remaining metal pad marks.
• 100 & 200 grit: Tighten the surface, improving clarity and smoothness.
• 400 & 800 grit: Build medium sheen and enhance color depth.
• 1500 & 3000 grit: Produce a high-end natural polish with mirror-like reflection.

Because we refine the stone itself instead of adding a coating, your terrazzo retains a natural, breathable finish that won’t peel, flake, or trap dirt.

4. Terrazzo Repair: Chips, Cracks & Holes

We handle all common terrazzo repairs during the restoration process:

• Crack repairs: Filling and stabilizing structural and hairline cracks.
• Chip and hole repairs: Custom color-matched patching to blend with existing aggregate.
• Old tack strip and anchor holes: Ideal for terrazzo revealed under carpet or tile.

Our goal is to make repairs flow with the original floor so the terrazzo in your Palm Beach Gardens property looks cohesive and intentionally designed.

Professional Terrazzo Sealing Options

After grinding and polishing, we select the right sealer based on how you use the space—whether it’s a busy Palm Beach Gardens commercial lobby or a quiet residential living room.

• Oil-Based Sealer (Deep Penetration): Soaks into the terrazzo for rich color enhancement and deeper protection from within the stone. Ideal for older terrazzo that needs revitalization.
• Water-Based Acrylic Sealer (Daily Wear Protection): Provides a durable barrier against everyday spills, foot traffic, and light staining while maintaining a natural look.
• Sealer Crystallizer (Maximum Shine / Airport Finish): A professional-grade treatment used to achieve an ultra-high-gloss, “airport-style” finish for showpiece spaces and high-end commercial environments.

Why We Never Use Wax on Terrazzo Floors

Many floors in Palm Beach Gardens look dull not because the terrazzo is damaged, but because they are covered in old wax or topical coatings. We do not use wax on terrazzo for several reasons:

• Wax yellows over time, especially in Florida’s bright sunlight.
• Wax collects dirt and grime, quickly looking cloudy and streaked.
• Wax increases maintenance costs because it must be regularly stripped and reapplied.

By naturally grinding and polishing the stone itself, we eliminate the need for wax altogether. Your floor stays brighter longer and requires far less aggressive maintenance.

Terrazzo Maintenance for Palm Beach Gardens Homes & Businesses

Once restored, terrazzo is easy to care for with the right routine:

• Daily dust mopping: Use a microfiber dust mop to remove sand and grit common in coastal areas.
• Neutral pH cleaner: Damp mop with a neutral floor cleaner—avoid harsh chemicals, vinegar, or acidic products.
• Protective pads: Install felt pads under furniture to prevent scratching.
• Periodic professional touch-ups: Light honing and polishing as needed, depending on traffic levels.

With this approach, your terrazzo in Palm Beach Gardens will maintain its luxurious finish for many years.

Mexican, Spanish & Saltillo Tile Refinishing in Palm Beach Gardens

Mexican, Spanish, and Saltillo tiles bring warmth, color, and old-world charm to Palm Beach Gardens properties—but they are also among the most misunderstood surfaces. At Coast to Coast Terrazzo Restoration, we specialize in restoring these unique clay and hand-painted tiles without damaging their character.

No Chemicals for Sealer Removal – 100% Mechanical

We don’t use any chemicals to remove old sealer. Instead, we rely on controlled mechanical removal to safely strip away failing coatings while preserving the tile.

Our process uses a sequence of professional pads:

• Black pad: Aggressive removal of thick or uneven sealer build-up.
• Green pad: Intermediate cut to even out the surface.
• Red pad: Smoothing and preparing the tile for finishing.
• White polishing pad: Final refinement for a clean, uniform appearance.

Saltillo & Spanish Tile Specific Care

• Saltillo Tile (Porous & Rustic): These handmade clay tiles absorb liquids quickly and often develop deep, patchy coloration. We carefully clean and open the pores, then apply the right sealer to enhance color and protect against staining without creating a plastic-like film.
• Spanish & Hand-Painted Tiles: The glaze and artwork require gentle handling. Our non-chemical, mechanical approach avoids stripping away delicate finishes or patterns while still removing failing sealers and soil.

Sealing Options for Mexican, Spanish & Saltillo Tile

• Oil-Based Sealer: Deep, warm color enhancement that highlights the earthy tones and variations.
• Water-Based Acrylic Sealer: Practical protection for daily wear while maintaining a more natural, breathable appearance.

The result is a floor that regains its original “vibration” and charm, perfect for Palm Beach Gardens homes, patios, and boutique commercial spaces seeking a distinctive Mediterranean or hacienda feel.

Marble, Travertine & Limestone Floor Restoration in Palm Beach Gardens

Marble, travertine, and limestone floors can transform any Palm Beach Gardens property into a luxury environment—but only when they are properly maintained. Etching, scratches, and dull spots are common, especially in kitchens, baths, and high-traffic entryways. Our stone restoration system brings these surfaces back to life with a natural, non-wax polish.

Grinding: Beveled Diamond Infused Disks (30, 50, 100 Grit)

We begin with Beveled Diamond Infused Disks to correct lippage, deep scratches, and heavy wear:

• 30 grit: Initial flattening and heavy damage removal.
• 50 grit: Refinement of the grind, removing coarse marks.
• 100 grit: Smooths the surface in preparation for honing.

Honing: 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 Grits

The honing phase removes etching, light scratches, and traffic patterns while developing a soft, elegant sheen:

• 50 & 100 grit: Deeper honing for more damaged stone.
• 200 & 400 grit: Brings clarity and a matte to satin finish.
• 800 grit: Prepares the surface for high-end polishing.

Polishing: 1500 & 3000 Grits (No Wax)

We bring marble, travertine, and limestone to a refined, natural shine using:

• 1500 grit: Creates a bright, reflective finish.
• 3000 grit: Delivers a premium polish with depth and clarity.

No wax is used at any stage—only professional diamond abrasives and stone-specific compounds.

Final Finish: 5X Polishing Powder & Sealer Crystallizer

To complete the restoration, we:

• Apply 5X Polishing Powder to enhance gloss and color.
• Use a Sealer Crystallizer where appropriate to boost surface hardness and deliver a luxurious, showroom-quality shine.

Whether you have a marble foyer, travertine living room, or limestone bath in Palm Beach Gardens, our process restores a sophisticated, long-lasting finish that reflects the quality of your property.
