in New Orleans

Terrazzo Restoration for historic homes, restaurants, bars, hotels, renovated condos, and older commercial spaces. Stone Trends restores existing stone instead of pushing replacement when restoration is the better answer.

Terrazzo Restoration for New Orleans Homes & Businesses

Between the humidity rolling off the Mississippi and the occasional cocktail spill on a marble bar top, stone surfaces in New Orleans take a beating that most cities can't match.

Terrazzo floors are built to last a lifetime — they just need someone who knows how to bring them back. Many Mid-Century and historic homes in the Gulf Coast have gorgeous terrazzo hidden under carpet, tile, or decades of yellowed wax. Our restoration process strips it all away, grinds out imperfections, and polishes your terrazzo to a stunning high-gloss finish. It's one of the most dramatic transformations we do.

New Orleans' subtropical humidity and frequent rain drive moisture into stone, accelerating etch marks and mold growth in grout lines. That's part of why professional-grade restoration and sealing matters here more than in drier climates.

In New Orleans, we work on historic homes, restaurants, bars, hotels, renovated condos, and older commercial spaces. Each property type has different stone care challenges, so the recommendation starts with the surface in front of us.

Real Stone Care for New Orleans Properties

Public proof from local customers

Stone Trends' public reviews mention marble kitchens that looked new again and terrazzo floors brought back to life after glue and years of wear. That before-and-after proof is the point of the service.

Terrazzo FAQ

Is my terrazzo floor worth restoring?

Almost certainly. Terrazzo is one of the most durable flooring materials ever made — it routinely lasts a hundred years or more. Even floors that look hopeless under layers of glue, wax, or carpet usually clean up beautifully. We've uncovered stunning terrazzo in homes where the owner had no idea what was under their feet.

How do you remove carpet glue from terrazzo?

Mechanical grinding with diamond abrasives. Chemical strippers alone won't do it — they leave residue that prevents a proper polish. We grind the surface down past the adhesive layer, then progressively refine it through multiple polishing steps until we reach a high-gloss finish.

How long does terrazzo restoration take?

A typical room takes two to three days: one day for glue removal and grinding, one for polishing through multiple grits, and a final day for sealing and curing. Larger projects — like a whole-house floor — can take a week. The results are worth the wait.

Can you fix cracks in terrazzo?

Yes. We fill cracks with color-matched epoxy that's ground and polished flush with the surrounding floor. We match the aggregate color and chip size so the repair blends in. Most cracks in terrazzo are caused by foundation settling and are purely cosmetic — the repair is permanent.
