Terrazzo flooring in Cedar Hill TX - a seamless floor on a flat, dry base
Tired of grout lines and a dated floor? We check your slab first, then install terrazzo that's one smooth, seamless surface.
The owner writes your estimate
I come out to every job and write the estimate myself, so the person pricing your floor is the one who walked it. Our own trained installers do the prep and the terrazzo, not a crew we've never met.
In business since 2013
I started this business in 2013 after years of looking at worn-out floors from inside a detailing shop. Thirteen years in, the lesson hasn't changed. A floor only holds up as long as the concrete under it does.

Terrazzo flooring in Cedar Hill, TX
Terrazzo flooring is a seamless, grout-free floor of chips set in a binder and ground smooth, and it's built to last a long time. It suits Cedar Hill homeowners who want one tough surface with no grout lines to scrub.
There are two ways to build terrazzo, and for a house that's already standing, epoxy is usually the one. Epoxy terrazzo suits renovations and can go over existing tile, stone, brick pavers or wood, while the other system generally only suits new construction. The catch is that epoxy needs a flat concrete base, and getting there often means extra prep, so how much leveling your floor needs is the first thing that moves your price and your schedule.
Moisture is the other big one. Epoxy terrazzo can't go down in wet conditions, so a moisture barrier membrane underneath is standard, and any bid you compare should name it. The estimate at your house gives you the figure for your floor. Cedar Hill requires a permit for any construction, alteration or repair of a building, so we check with the city's building office before we start.
Terrazzo floors and the slab work behind them
We check flat and dry first
Before I put a price on terrazzo, I check how flat your slab is and how dry it stays, because those two things decide how big the job really is. A flat, dry slab means less prep before the terrazzo goes down. A wavy slab, or one pulling moisture up from below, means more work first, and I'd rather tell you that at the estimate than find it halfway through. If your slab isn't a fit, I'll say so.
Grinding the slab flat and sound
Since epoxy terrazzo needs that flat base, the real work usually starts with concrete grinding and surface preparation. We grind down high spots, fill low ones and open up the surface so the new floor grips the concrete instead of just sitting on it. It's the part you won't see when we're done, and it's the part that decides whether the terrazzo stays put. Cracks get a close look at this stage too, because they don't disappear under a new floor.
Bringing old terrazzo back first
If you've already got terrazzo in the house, I'll look at bringing it back before we talk about a new one. An old floor can be in better shape than it looks under years of wear, and saving it usually means less tear-out and less mess than starting over. I'll give you a straight answer on whether it's worth it. When the real problem is a damp room, our basement flooring work may suit it better than terrazzo, and I'll tell you that too.

Terrazzo flooring questions in Cedar Hill
Do I need a permit for terrazzo flooring in Cedar Hill?
Possibly, and we find that out before any work starts. If the city's building office says your job needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork, and you can follow along on the city's online permit system, where registered users can check a permit's status, pay fees and schedule an inspection.
Can my old terrazzo floor be restored instead of replaced?
Usually, yes, because terrazzo can be repaired and refinished for the life of the building. Restoring an old floor means grinding and polishing the surface you already have, though not every stain may come out. I'll point out which marks are likely to stay before you decide, so you know what you're getting.
Will terrazzo crack if my Cedar Hill slab moves?
Epoxy terrazzo can absorb some sideways movement at slab cracks and joints when a flexible membrane goes under it, but that membrane is an extra, so ask whether a bid includes it. Expansive clay is common around Dallas and Fort Worth, and too much or too little water under a house can move it and crack foundations, sheetrock and brick.
Is terrazzo flooring hard to keep clean?
No, terrazzo is about as low-maintenance as flooring gets. It's one solid surface, so day-to-day care comes down to keeping grit off it and wiping up spills. When we finish, I'll go over how to care for your floor so it keeps looking the way it did on walk-through day.
