"It was an honor to work for such a humble family. Thanks Mahesh we really appreciate you [Member Name Removed] your graciousness. Please let me know if you ever need terrazzo cleaner. Sincerely, Frank Andreou Terrazzo Care Restoration Experts"
I called to set up an estimate, Frank said his #1 guy was out of town but he would send someone over. When he arrived he didnt have a camera and was underqualified for the project. I called Frank and said this man had no idea what he was doing, Frank agreed and said he said he would send his #1 guy to which he did. This guy was great, had a camera, was qualified and gave me an estimate on the spot, which included everything, all repairs and cracks and all holes, etc. I explained that it seemed very expeensive, he said to reach out to Frank to discuss price.I did, Frank said he would re-work the quote Because I didn't need such extensive work on an area that was just poured concrete, He said he would do a different process on that spot that would look great and be much less expensive. I said GREAT! Frank said he would get back to me with a new quote.This took several weeks and after numerous calls, I mentioned I was going to leave a review on Angie's List . AFTER I said I was going to leave a review, I then heard from Frank on May 31st. NOW, this second quote, which was supposed to be less expensive Because we were doing less work on a specific area was less expensive, EXCEPT that Frank Now added ADDITIONAL costs for each Crack and Hole that was INCLUDED in the first estimate.
I wrote to Frank and asked WHY he was including this, when all the holes and cracks had been determined in the first estimate? Simple question.....
WELL, To this day, I have NOT heard back from Frank.I have called and e-mailed him several times. He is ignoring me completely. This is really quite bad because he strung me along for MONTHS and just dropped me when I was asking legitimate questions.
I turned away other companies because of Frank and now I am having to start the process all over again. This RUINED all of my renovation plans.
Thanks so much Frank!
"Dear (removed member name) I have an estimate for you in 2011. Please call me I'm not sure if you have the same company and the price I quoted to you in 2011 was $4064.00. I'm thinking your confusing me with another service and I do not bring in outside help to do the repairs I have three full time artists that work for me to make the color properly. My mobile number is 954 818-2703. It seems rather odd that your review is coming two years later also. Thanks Frank"
"Dear [removed member name]: Thanks for such a nice review. Call back any time if you need another unit done. Thanks Always Frank Terrazzo Care Restoration Experts"
"[removed member name]was wonderfull to work with. We were excited to restore his 60 plus year old terrazzo stair case. It was a pleasure to restore such a work of art and I was even amazed on how the restoration came out. We had to do all aspects of the job by hand using hand grinding machines, dremel tools, diamond discs and sand paper by hand. I not only thought the restoration came out amazing but [removed member names] his mother were amazing. [removed member name] invited me to there house warming party and I thought that was very kind. I had to miss the party since I was working but was very touched by the gesture. I wish [removed member name] success in his career and blessing upon him, his family and his new house. It has a retro moder feel where he is restoring the terrazzo and putting in modern touches that make you feel your living in an island off on your own away from the rest of the world. Thanks again [removed member names] we will be back for the rest of the floors when you settle in. It was great working for you both. Sincerely, Frank and Staff"
"[Member Name Removed] and family were great to work with. He understood the value of his floor. We unrapped a beutiful gift as layers of stained, aged terrazzo started to come to life. I was very exited to see the mother of pearl in his cabana bathroom. Thanks to [Member Name Removed] he made the process enjoyable and asked a lot of questions. Sincerely, Frank Terrazzo Care Restoration Experts"
"(Removed member names) were the most enthusiastic couple we ever worked for. Offering my crew water and lunch their kindness was overwhelming. They were so excited about there new terrazzo floor we enjoyed this enthusiasm and wanted to please them even more. They picked out a great background color, and the marble chips and glass we mixed into the epoxy worked out great. Thanks again to such kind people who have a tremendous passion for terrazzo it was very encouraging to work with them. Sincerely Frank Andreou and staff Terrazzo Care Restoraton Experts"
"Thank [member name removed] Really appreciate you. Enjoy your new looking terrazzo floors. Its always great when people take the time out of there busy day and give a review. Much appreciated."
The Good:
It's absolutely worth the price, mess, effort.
I live in an older home that had the terrazzo built in with it back in the 50's. Since then, the subsequent owners seem to have tried to keep with the times, installing tile, carpet and god-knows-what over on top of these floors. This is like putting a bad paint job on a '57 chevy and changing the interior leather with corduroy. Frank informed me of the actual cost to lay single slab terrazzo like my house has, and the value is somewhere between 50-60k to get this work done brand new. Unfortunately, the years of abuse and improper care left the floors in a state of disrepair. Full disclosure, when we bought the place 3 years ago, we planned on throwing bamboo floors on top of it because of the condition it was in.
Luckily we didn't.
Over time, we realized that these floors did an amazing job of keeping the house cool, and were easy to clean. After dropping a multitude of heavy tools from on high, also realized they are incredibly durable. So we decided that we wanted to keep them, but needed to restore them.
Enter Frank and crew. Frank will talk your ear off about terrazzo, but it's because he is really passionate about it. After spending some time on the phone with him explaining their process I requested an estimate. In the estimate they did a demo to show the process...right in the middle of the floor (if you're on the fence about the price or actually getting it done, I'd recommend not getting it done there, as it will look 100x better than the floor around it and you'll just be angry at that patch of floor). We knew we wanted the work done, so for us it was ok to have the patch reminding us how good our floors were going to look when all was said and done. The estimate was fair, but there was the matter of hole patching, which is going to run you $2 per quarter sized area. A hole may run you $2-6 depending on how many quarters fit in it, which was fully disclosed up front. Also it was fully disclosed that the count would be taken once the work started on the grinding. For us, we took the high estimate of how many holes we thought we could have (1200+) and everything less than that was profit (total of 715).
Overall, there were no unpleasant surprises between estimate and actual cost.
The process itself consists of essentially grinding away all top layers of wax and whatever you've got, until they get to the underlying stones. Then using a finer grain buffer, they will polish the stones giving your floor the most natural shine, that of each stone glistening individually.
The end result is me sitting here staring at my beautifully resurfaced floor, feeling pretty good about my '57 Chevy.
Additional Notes: (full disclosure)
Couple of issues we had:
If you have holes along your baseboard, you should remove it, or at least label it. They'll have to remove the baseboards and ours weren't marked, so getting my walls back together was like a jigsaw puzzle from h***.
Not sure how your floor is, but mine is a very "busy" looking floor, so some holes were missed, or done to a lesser degree than the others because staring at my floor too long will make you go cross-eyed. Frank has been incredibly professional and responsive in sending his crew out to rectify those.
Closed cabinet doors are not going to protect whatever is behind them. Move EVERYTHING out.
Conclusion:
If you have the budget, get this done. Getting your terrazzo waxed will put shine on it, but you'll need to continue waxing and the buildup will eventually make your floors lose their true beauty. Grinding down and shining your floor stone by stone is such a better look that you will just sit and find yourself staring at your floor. Frank and crew have displayed a degree of professionalism that my wife and I demand of all our contractors, and a dedication to leaving you with a quality product which is the most you can hope for.
"[member name removed] was a pleasure to work with and I explained to her that in the last Six Months our company had to go back over 47 jobs that other companys did work at. The customers were not happy with these other services because of 1. Crystallization which is a topical coating after grinding. 2. Hole repair did not look good and 3. Stain removal. [member name removed]commented on the fact that when we cant see what the floor looks like until after we remove the carpeting. Then we have a decision to make either go right into grinding or grind with the metal honing discs and then apply a peroxide bleach solution for one week. This step is crucial if there is heavy staining. Note; not everyone needs it but grinding the surface of terrazzo does not mean we can remove the stains below the surface. Thats why a poultice which we use is cruicial to drawing out deep staining. Thanks Again [member name removed] your an awsesome person and we loved working for you. Sincerly Frank Andreou and staff."
