Old marble

[Braden bell]

This is in our local City Hall. There's old finish on it.
There's almost no chance I would tackle it but I'm curious how some of you would deal with it. Thanks

 

[Braden bell]

And it is 100 years old. Zero lippage and that is gold (of some kind) in between

Terrazzo

Terrazzo

very astute of you Ladwigs.

strip everything off and either polish it up (some) with DIPS or apply more wax if you want to get even for high taxes or "progress".....

Hire a floor guy and mark him up 20%.

that' s a poured floor and then ground

 

[Braden bell]

Just to be clear I'm not under any pressure do it.
My experience is carpet and vct. We took over this janitorial account and the previous janitor put finish on it then kind of removed it.
But if they never have it done right are you saying it could be stripped with traditional vct methods

 

[hogjowl]

Let the vct and terrazzo go or you’ll turn into a bitter old janitor like Ladwig

 

[Desk Jockey]

Good you mentioned bitter. Got to BE sure that's in there for sure!

Yes!!!! Strip it. And either polish it or refinish it. No big deal. I refinish most of mine, which are in churches. Time is of the essence and can’t waste time in between pews, so we refinish.
