Slate Restoration

MicroGuard ADSIL Permanent Protection

Slate is common in entryways, mudrooms and showers, and terracotta and Saltillo cover many kitchens, sunrooms and porches. These soft, textured surfaces usually have old coatings that wear unevenly, chip and trap dirt, leaving the floor dull, patchy and dark.

Our Restoration Process

  1. Strip old coatings and wax from the surface and grout, down to raw stone or clay.
  2. Deep clean the stone and grout.
  3. Repair scratches, grout cracks and chips, and replace broken pieces or tiles when needed.
  4. Grout: color seal it for a uniform look, or leave it clean and stripped.
  5. Final finish: enhance the slate for richer color, apply a floor coating to slate, terracotta or Saltillo, or upgrade to MicroGuard ADSIL permanent protection.

Slate Showers

Slate showers get our full Shower Refresh, plus we remove efflorescence and calcium buildup from the shower floor, clean up flaking slate and enhance the stone to bring back its color.

Cost and Timing

Cleaning starts around $2 per square foot. Full restorations with stripping, repairs and refinishing can run up to $15 per square foot or more, depending on the floor’s condition. Most stripping jobs take 2 to 3 days. Call (708) 582-6904 for a free quote.

Terrazzo floor refinished by Prestige Grout

Terrazzo Cleaning and Refinishing

Terrazzo is built to last a lifetime, but years of wax, foot traffic and the wrong cleaners leave it cloudy, scratched and yellowed. Many terrazzo floors are still being waxed, which only hides the stone under layers that scuff, trap dirt and have to be stripped again and again. We take it back to the stone and restore the shine terrazzo was made to have.

Our Terrazzo Process

  1. Strip all old wax and coatings down to the bare terrazzo.
  2. Deep clean the floor to remove embedded dirt and residue.
  3. Repair cracks, chips, holes and damaged areas, filling them as closely matched as possible, then grinding them flat with the rest of the floor.
  4. Diamond refinish the surface in multiple steps, the same way we refinish marble, removing scratches, wear paths and dullness. You choose the sheen, from a soft matte to a high polish.
  5. Seal the floor to protect it from stains, with no wax needed.

No More Waxing, No More Scratches

Once your terrazzo is diamond refinished, the shine comes from the stone itself, not a coating. No more waxing is required, so there’s no more wax coating to scratch, scuff or strip and redo. When it’s time for a touch-up, we use specialty pads for easy maintenance at a fraction of the cost of a full restoration, saving you time, money and effort.

Homes and Commercial

We restore terrazzo in homes, from foyers and kitchens to mid-century floors, as well as lobbies, hallways and other commercial spaces across Chicagoland.
