What is Terrazzo flooring? Terrazzo flooring is a composite material that either comes precast or is poured on site. Used for wall and floor treatments, Terrazzo can be any combination of marble, granite, glass, quartz, stone and porcelain. Artisans can create everything from patios, countertops, and tile, to walls and floors. The process is begins by exposing chips of marble, and other aggregates, onto the surface of finished epoxy resin or concrete. Terrazzo is timeless and can be used on an already existing floor.
The first thing you should do is contact Terrazzo associations. These groups should know more about finding quality contractors in your area. Another option is finding the contractor yourself, but sometimes finding the right people for your project, who meet your standards for quality and professionalism, can be a challenge. Contractors who are especially successful know their own strengths/weaknesses and their experience teaches them when to bring an equally experienced subcontractor in to help deliver the results you desire. Remember that hiring subcontractors can be a risky business, but fortunately there are industry associations who have set standards that are designed to help mitigate these risks. Most flooring contractors will have to subcontract for the grinding and polishing processes, this is a crucial part of the project, so some companies may have their own fully trained crews to see this through with specialized machinery.
There is a lot of information on the internet so you need to do your research. Contact the associations you can find and ask them about the most reliable contractors. Some companies will even have staff that offer services to help customers through this process. These same companies can also provide professional consultation on your project, and their professionals will soon be ready to get to work. Overall, contacting the associations is probably the best idea. They will not only help you find a quality contractor, like the one found at Trend Terrazzo, but they will also support you if you are not satisfied with the work.
If you are looking to hire a contractor yourself, one way of determining their reliability would be of course to speak with them. With that in mind, you should interview them and find out if they have any industry experience, education, certifications, and ask how they’ve helped to bring about innovation in their respective fields. You can also go online to find reliable contractors and check their reviews (if there are any) to help you choose the right people who will work hard. If you’re disappointed with the end result, you can go find the appropriate association and request an on-site inspection. If the work is insufficient, then the contractor will be put up for review.
