I want to thank you sincerely for what you shared. I am a long way from you just doing a kitchen, and this is very beneficial to me. I wish they would have paid you to do a deeper coarse polish at the start for this church... but then again perhaps it is better to not take off too much material so the floor will last the longest possible. It's fantastic either way. The city hall in my city has marble stairs, and they are getting worn. As i walk up those steps, I think of how many millions of footsteps people have laid on those steps in order to get a marraige license, pay tax, register a car, and more. So even though you can see some wear left by the prior floor contractor, I like that the floors are talking and telling their story to us!

Im new working as a janitor in an ancient school turned into county administration building and the terrazzo is Hit 😢...they've been waxed ages ago and barely kept up...the front foyer is bare and pitted where the most traffick flow is at, salt stains and fog all over...even the stairs are terrazzo and are in need of some special care...only I don't have have those floor supplies offered to me...that's for maintenance 😕 what a lovely job on the church, I would love to see my place shine like that again!

Absolutely amazing work. Thank you for upholding the standard our industry needs.

[@aaronprosin7002]

What an incredible transformation. Hours upon hours getting it like this but you and your crew are truly artists in your own right!

[@mattmason7554]

Excellent description of work. You have some heavy artillery and a good crew. Great job.

[@faramund9865]

Looks like a fantastic job, I'm sure the community was very pleased.

[@faramund9865]

Stuff like cleaning and polishing is such a satisfying thing to do.

[@faramund9865]

Floor looks pretty good actually for 70s years. I've heard it say that peoples shoes act like a natural polisher over time, so the floor keeps a decent look. The only reason it looks dim or dusty, whatever you may call it, is because it was already done with 100 grit.

[@shawnsturgeon1014]

That three driver scrubber is cool, I’ve never seen one like that before. I can only imagine what something like that would cost.

[@gregdurham2730]

That is freaking awesome!

[@harvindersidhu530]

interesting very good work

[@harvindersidhu530]

india they used lot of terrazo floors in 70's -but no restoration companies to do work - i am impressed in these countries still its possible

[@davidfleuchaus]

Great job,

[@Jonathan-rz8jk]

Wow great job , I have a terrazzo floor which sealer should I use and how often .. thanks from Nice France

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

Thank you. This floor was sealed with micro topping burnishable sealer. We recommend re sealing based on foot traffic and wear and tear.

[@Jonathan-rz8jk]

Any brand company better or worse for sealer ?

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

@@Jonathan-rz8jk I like Scotchguard Stone protector

[@TimKollat]

great work guys. How do you like the Klindex edge machine? Im in need of a new edge grinder for grinding/polishing concrete and terrazzo. Also have you tried the Klindex/Hypergrinder Lithium Guard WP2? Best polish guard Ive used so far for both concrete and terrazzo. Does not let any water or oil penetrate like traditional guard products.

[@jimdonaghy422]

I have the waterfire and extrema. Easy to use and quality. I also have the lithium material used on terrazzo.

[@EnriqueMartinez-cg7yd]

You supposed Star 30 metal grit..in 70 years old Terrazzo..I can see te lines..that indicate your guys don Grinder correct The floor.. vitrification ir very nice..but under you can see east to west lines

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

You obviously didn't watch this video or especially listened to it. It was grind down by other company and we jumped to it after 100 grit. That's one thing. Another thing is that the terrazzo was grind down with 30 grit metal bond using 1500 LB Terco machinery. The discoloration pattern you see on terrazzo caused by pew chair system that was on it for many years. I suggest to watch and listen more carefully before making your statements.

[@EnriqueMartinez-cg7yd]

Excuses only...go deep Mr..we do this for 35 years..but the rest is so nice..if you don’t like criticism..you never grow

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

Which company do you represent?

[@timemachineeddie1146]

Wow!

[@elitesupremecleaning1566]

Nice!

[@youcefkahtal1322]

You use poudre Polishing for finishing ?

[@mikedee8876]

gem quality

[@user-jm3ir2hx1l]

Hi! How would you remove or what would you do with old battery stains in your terrazzo floor?

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

It depends how deep it penetrated. Cement terrazzo is very porous material and usually stains will go deep into it. Of grinding process doesn't remove it Is would tru poultice but the chances will be too low.

[@cgeorge6786]

You make shiny!

[@Jonathan-rz8jk]

Another question, I have a long small crack about 2 feet long in my terrazzo floor how can I fill it ? Thanks

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

You would need a professional for that type or repair.

[@Unknown-nf1se]

How can I get rid of water stains in terrazzo?

[@jasondockery704]

killed it

[@jimdonaghy422]

What are you using for the vitrification compound and pads?

[@jimdonaghy422]

By the way, great job. Great video as well. I use the Klindex line as well.

[@pinnaclestonerestoration]

Thank you Jim. Over the years we developed our own unique way to vetrify terrazzo and marble. I am sure you'll understand me not giving up my secret formula...)))

[@jonparker9651]

How do you clean up the sludge from Wet grinding

[@edwardtemporado9806]

I think he had a auto scrubber
