We are Colonial Floor Care!

We are South Florida’s flooring specialists. Whether your floor is marble, terrazzo, travertine, concrete or granite, we are the floor care company for all floor types. We specialize in cleaning, polishing, restoration and repair.

Many local companies offer prices that are slightly lower than ours- here’s why. First, the contractors they hire do not have much training- they typically learn on the job. Second, most local companies use old or inexpensive equipment. More often than not, people who think they are saving a little bit of money hire one of these inferior companies, only to discover that their workmanship is shoddy. They then call us to repair the faulty work. In the end, they spend much more than they would if they had called us the first time.

When it comes to your home, you want the very best to enhance your investment and the quality of life of your home. Call Colonial Floor Care today!

Hello! I am writing to tell you about an exciting menu of services that Colonial Floor Care is currently offerring.

Many interior designers and home renovation companies are responding to the challenges of the current economy by tailoring their services to fit every budgret. For example, some design companies are offering to rearrange existing decor to maimize their imapct on the overall design of the hoem, rather that providing a complete redecoration. The cost is of course, sugstatially less costly.

At Colonial Floor Care, we are offerring similar services. For example, if you are not currently able or willing to have a complete floor restoration on your terrazzo, concrete, marble, granite or slate floor, but you would like to upgrade its appearance, let’s say, for the holidays, then Colonial Floor Care can provide a simple grind/polish at a lesser cost.

For more information about these services, give us a call at 305-731-2242 in Miami, 954-566-4555 in Ft Lauderdale and 561-337-1408 in Palm Beach.

In addition to the many interesting and diverse topics available on this page, we are also pleased to inform you that we have another site, terrazzorestoration.net, where we publish articles of related interest.

From making your home green through home restoration, to articles of interest to the design, art and architecture enthusiasts.

We hope you take the time to visit us at terrazzo restoration.net. We would love to get your input, so if you have the time, please leave a comment.

Also, you can give us a call at 954-566-4555!

To clean your newly restored terrazzo floor, we recommend using a neutralizer rather  than soap or detergent. Neutralizers can be purchased at any home care or hardware store.

Soap and detergents can dull the terrazzo floor’s shine and actually attract dirt because of the residue they leave behind.

Many people, especially those new to South Florida, aren’t exactly sure what terrazzo is. According to The National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association, the word terrazzo is derived from the italian “terrace” or “terrazza” and was defined over the centuries as “a form of mosaic flooring made by embedding small pieces of marble in mortar, and then polishing”.

Today, the NTMA defines this traditional material as follows: “Terrazzo consists of marble, granite, onyx or glass chips in portland cement or resinous material. The terrazzo is poured, cured, ground and polished. ”

According to Marble Masters UK, Terrazzo has been used as a flooring product since Roman tomes. Today it enjoys an enviable reputation as an attractive hard flooring that delivers an appealing combination of durability, ease of maintenance, beauty and performance.

Terrazzo is an amazingly “green” product. It is environmentally safe to install or restore (if green , chemical- free methods are used by experts such as Colonial Floor Care). It is also easy to maintain and very hygenic. It does not harbor dust mites or mold, and helps keep Florida homes cool.

I hope you found this article interesting. Give us a call at 954-566-4555 if you need more information, or visit us at our website.
