Terrazzo Flooring in Seguin TX - a floor matched to your slab and your room
Want terrazzo but not sure your slab or your room can take it? We check first, then pour a floor that fits.
Is terrazzo the right floor for your Seguin home?
Terrazzo flooring in Seguin, TX is a floor poured in place from marble, granite or other stone chips set in a cement or resin base, then cured and ground down to a smooth, hard surface that's easy to keep clean.
Most people who call me about terrazzo have a plain slab or a tired floor and want something that looks like stone. Before we talk chips and colors, I look at what's under the room, because the slab, the room's height and whether the floor is inside or out decide which system works. The price moves with that system, the size of the room, the chips you pick and how much the slab needs before we pour, and the schedule turns mostly on the prep. Your written estimate spells all of that out for your room.
We're fully licensed and insured, and the City of Seguin won't issue a permit until the contractor is registered with its Development Services Center, so that registration comes before we start any job here. If you want to do some of the work yourself, the city allows it with the proper permits on a house you own, live in and have registered as a homestead with the Guadalupe County Appraisal District, but anyone you hire for part of the job has to be licensed with the city.
- Terrazzo systems run from 3/8 inch to 2 1/2 inches thick, and most past 1/2 inch need a lowered base.
- Epoxy terrazzo bonds right to the slab, so the slab's flatness and cracks carry into the finished floor.
- The chips can be marble, granite, onyx or other stone, and resin floors can also take glass.
What happens after you call about terrazzo in Seguin?
Every terrazzo job starts with me looking at the floor, because the slab and the room decide the system. Here's how it goes from your first call to the finished floor.
Tell us about the room

I check the slab myself
I check the slab for moisture and cracks, see how much height the room can give and ask how you use the space. You get a written estimate that names the system, the prep it needs and what's driving the price.

Once you go ahead, we set a date, and our own crew does the prep and the install with me running the job. Work starts once any permit the city requires is in hand.

(830) 340-0036Common questions about terrazzo floors in Seguin
These are the questions people ask me most about terrazzo before they call. If yours isn't here, ask me when I come out to look at the floor.
Can terrazzo flooring go outdoors in Seguin?
Yes, if it's a cement or polyacrylate system, because those can be used inside or out. The terrazzo trade groups don't recommend epoxy terrazzo outdoors, so for a patio or porch I'd plan on cement or polyacrylate and keep epoxy for rooms inside the house.
Will terrazzo work over my concrete slab or plywood floor?
Usually, yes. Epoxy terrazzo can go over a sound concrete slab or over plywood that's properly installed and prepared. Over concrete, the trade guidance offers a flexible membrane, an extra layer under the terrazzo, that can absorb some movement from horizontal cracks and control joints. I check what's under your floor when I come out and tell you straight if it isn't ready.
What adds to the cost of a terrazzo floor?
The chips, the slab and the system add the most. The national terrazzo trade group notes that glass and other decorative chips raise the cost of an epoxy floor, and one regional trade group's guide prices a moisture barrier as a separate cost when slab moisture tests come back high. I test the slab for moisture at the estimate, so you'll know whether that applies to your floor.
How do I care for a new terrazzo floor?
Clean up spills as fast as you can, because quick cleanup prevents stains and damage and keeps upkeep costs low over the years. Beyond that, terrazzo is an easy floor to look after.
How long does a terrazzo floor installation take?
Epoxy terrazzo is usually the quickest, because it has the shortest wait between pouring and grinding of any terrazzo system. The rest of the schedule comes from prep, mainly how much grinding and crack work the slab needs, and your written estimate lays out the plan for your room.
Can an old terrazzo floor be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Federal repair guidance written for historic buildings covers regrinding, crack repairs and fixing delamination, where the top layer pulls away from the base. I'll look at yours and tell you honestly whether it's a repair or a new floor.
