FAQs

At Tampaterrazo , we restore and care for terrazzo, marble, travertine, and concrete floors throughout the Tampa Bay area. That means deep cleaning, polishing, sealing, repairing chips and cracks, and full restoration when the surface is worn or damaged. Every floor is treated based on what it actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Terrazzo restoration starts with a careful assessment of your floor. We remove old buildup, grind down worn surfaces, polish the stone back to its natural luster, repair cracks or chips, and then seal everything so it lasts. It is a process that requires skill and proper equipment, and we do not cut corners.

If your floor looks dull, scratched, stained, or uneven, that is a good sign it needs professional care. Old terrazzo often loses its shine and shows wear from traffic over the years. A quick look at the surface will tell us if cleaning, polishing, sealing, or more extensive repair is necessary.

Yes, we repair visible damage like cracks, chips, or surface flaws before we polish and seal. Fixing these areas first ensures the repair blends into the rest of the floor. Without taking care of the damage, polishing alone will not make the floor look right.

Terrazzo is a composite surface made from marble, quartz, granite, or glass chips set in a binder — usually concrete or epoxy — and polished smooth. It is extremely durable and, when restored properly, can outlast many other stone surfaces. Marble and travertine are natural stone slabs that also need polishing and sealing but behave a little differently under wear and maintenance.

That really depends on the condition of the floor and its size. A simple cleaning and polish will take less time than a full restoration with repairs. After an initial look and measurement, we give you a realistic timeline. We do not rush work that needs detail.

Yes, sealing is an important last step after polishing and cleaning. It protects your floor from stains, moisture, and daily wear while making future cleaning easier. A good seal can extend the life of your stone or terrazzo surface.

Mostly it helps if the area is cleared of furniture and personal items so we can work without interruption. If you have coverings or previous flooring like carpet or tile over your terrazzo, we discuss what needs to happen before the restoration begins.

Yes, we work on both homes and business floors. Terrazzo and natural stone show up in many settings like entryways, kitchens, lobbies, hallways, and more, and each one gets the same careful attention we would give to our own floors.

Good maintenance depends on traffic and environment, but many floors benefit from professional polishing and sealing every few years. Regular sweeping and gentle mopping help day-to-day, but deeper care from professionals keeps the surface strong and beautiful longer.

Yes, we provide assessments and estimates so you know what needs to be done and what the cost will be before we start any work. We have been restoring floors for decades, and we want you to feel confident in what we recommend.

At Tampaterrazo, we bring over 40 years of experience to every project and take pride in doing the job right. Each floor is our artwork and we work on it as if it were our own hope. Our focus is on solutions rather than quick fixes. You get real skill, honest communication, and a floor that looks better for longer.
