What Method Used in Terrazzo Restoration in Ft Lauderdale, South Florida

Terrazzo Restoration is a trade that comes in handy especially here in South Florida where most of the older homes have terrazzo flooring. When I moved to Florida back in 1994 I bought an old home in a Fort Lauderdale downtown neighborhood called Victoria Park. I had never seen this type of flooring before so I asked my realtor how I could restore them. Back in 1994 there were only a few people out there that did this type of restoration. The realtor, Greg talked me out of restoring them because it was very expensive and finding the right stones to fill in the holes where virtually impossible since these floors weren’t installed anymore in new homes. So unfortunately for me I listened to him and put tile over it. Years later I ended up buying the leading Terrazzo restoration in Ft Lauderdale, Terrazzo Restoration.

I bought this company only because I owned a carpet cleaning company and when I became aware of Terrazzo people telling me the best guy was this English gent named Phil Jones who did outstanding work. So for years I would refer customers to Phil\’s company, Colonial Floor care. I sent him customers that were looking to restore their floors. Then one day out of the blue I get a call from Phil in 2006 saying that he was interested in selling his business. His wife gave him two choices. One was to return back to England with her to raise the kids or stay in South Florida and work on his business, he choose the family. So when I got the call I was smiling from cheek to cheek. I had been trying to find a way to get into the marble business because in the early housing boom people began removing carpet from their floors and I noticed that my wall to wall carpet cleaning business changing. We arranged a meeting, I immediately agreed to a price and for the next six month we worked side by side. I became a skilled terrazzo restoration expert under the training of the master Phil Jones.

I found out that my realtor from years past lied to me that the terrazzo chips are hard to find. The chips are easily found in Georgia, the only problem is the expense of shipping. The only thing about these floors that the realtor Greg didn’t mislead me was that they aren’t being installed in new homes anymore. These floors are horribly expensive to have installed. Even the new mansions that are contemporary in design have something else installed on their floors. If you should ever go into a new constructed house and see these floor freshly installed it is safe to assume that these people are really rich.
