Terrazzo Floor Cleaning & Restoration in Miami & South Florida
MB Clean Solutions provides professional terrazzo floor cleaning, restoration, polishing, and sealing for commercial properties across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. Terrazzo flooring is one of South Florida's most iconic building materials, found in thousands of Art Deco buildings in Miami Beach, mid-century office towers in Downtown Miami, luxury hotel lobbies in Fort Lauderdale, and historic properties throughout Palm Beach County.
Terrazzo is a composite material made of marble, quartz, granite, or glass chips set in a cement or epoxy binder, then ground and polished to a smooth, durable surface. While terrazzo is one of the most durable flooring materials available, it requires specialized cleaning and maintenance that differs from standard tile or concrete care. Improper cleaning, acidic products, or abrasive equipment can etch the surface, dull the polish, and damage the binder between chips.
Our terrazzo cleaning and restoration services range from routine deep cleaning and sealing to full diamond grinding and honing restoration that brings badly deteriorated terrazzo back to its original brilliance. We understand the specific chemistry of terrazzo, the different care requirements for cement-based vs. epoxy-based terrazzo, and the polishing sequences needed to achieve a true high-gloss finish.
South Florida's humidity and salt air are particularly challenging for terrazzo floors. Moisture absorbed through the porous cement binder can cause efflorescence (white mineral deposits), while tracked-in salt crystals from coastal air act as micro-abrasives that gradually dull the polished surface. Our cleaning protocols address these specific regional factors.
Terrazzo floor cleaning and restoration is priced between $1.50 and $8.00 per square foot, depending on the level of restoration needed. A routine deep clean and seal is on the lower end, while full diamond grinding and multi-step polishing is on the higher end.
Our Terrazzo Restoration Process
Level 1: Deep Cleaning & Sealing ($1.50-$3.00/sqft)
For terrazzo floors in good condition that have lost their luster, we perform a thorough deep clean with pH-neutral terrazzo cleaner, remove all surface contaminants and old sealer, then apply a penetrating sealer that protects the surface and enhances color depth. This is ideal for quarterly or semi-annual maintenance.
Level 2: Honing & Polishing ($3.00-$5.00/sqft)
For terrazzo with moderate scratches, etching, or dullness, we use diamond honing pads in a multi-step sequence (typically 4-6 grits) to remove surface damage and restore the polish. The floor is then sealed with a penetrating sealer for protection.
Level 3: Full Diamond Grinding Restoration ($5.00-$8.00/sqft)
For severely damaged, stained, or deteriorated terrazzo, we grind the floor down past the damage using coarse diamond pads, then work through progressively finer grits (6-8 steps) to achieve a high-gloss mirror finish. This process removes deep scratches, lippage between sections, stains, and old coatings. The result is a floor that looks as good as the day it was installed.
Crack and Chip Repair: We fill cracks, divots, and missing chips with color-matched epoxy filler before the polishing process. This repairs structural damage and creates a seamless surface.
Grout Line Restoration: The divider strips and grout lines between terrazzo sections are cleaned, regrouted where needed, and finished flush with the surrounding surface.
Where You Will Find Terrazzo Floors in South Florida
South Florida has one of the highest concentrations of terrazzo flooring in the country, a legacy of the mid-century building boom and the Art Deco movement:
Art Deco District, Miami Beach: Hundreds of buildings from the 1930s-1950s feature original terrazzo floors with distinctive geometric patterns and pastel-colored chips. These historic floors require careful restoration that preserves the original character.
Downtown Miami High-Rises: Office towers, government buildings, and mixed-use developments built from the 1950s through 1980s extensively used terrazzo in lobbies, corridors, and common areas.
Fort Lauderdale Hotels & Condos: Beachfront hotels and condominium lobbies along the A1A corridor feature terrazzo that endures heavy foot traffic and exposure to sand and salt.
Boca Raton & Palm Beach Luxury Properties: High-end residential buildings and commercial properties use terrazzo for its durability and the ability to create custom patterns with premium aggregate choices.
Schools & Government Buildings: Miami-Dade County Public Schools, courthouses, and municipal buildings across all three counties have extensive terrazzo installations that require periodic professional maintenance.
Churches & Religious Facilities: Many South Florida churches and synagogues feature original terrazzo floors that are integral to the building's architectural heritage.
What's Included
Our Process
Assessment & Restoration Plan
We evaluate the terrazzo type (cement vs epoxy), current condition, existing coatings, damage areas, and determine the appropriate restoration level. Free assessment with detailed quote.
Grinding or Honing
Starting with the appropriate diamond grit, we systematically work the floor through 4-8 polishing steps, progressively refining the surface. Cracks and chips are filled between steps.
Final Polish & Sealing
The final polishing step brings the terrazzo to its target gloss level. A penetrating sealer is applied to protect against stains and moisture without changing the appearance.
Inspection & Maintenance Plan
Final walkthrough with client, before/after documentation, and a recommended maintenance schedule to keep the terrazzo looking its best between restoration cycles.
