Terrazzo is built to last for generations, but years of foot traffic, wax buildup and harsh cleaners leave it dull, yellowed and scratched. Instead of covering it up or replacing it, professional terrazzo floor polishing in Metro Detroit MI brings back its natural shine, color and strength.
At ARC Building Solutions, we specialize in terrazzo wax removal, diamond grinding and honing, polishing and sealing, so your floors look polished, stay slip-resistant and are easier to maintain.

At ARC Building Solutions, we follow a proven 5-step process to deliver top-quality terrazzo floor polishing in Metro Detroit MI. Our expert team restores your floor’s shine, color and durability while protecting it for years to come.
We start by stripping away old wax, sealers and topical coatings that make terrazzo look cloudy and yellow. We use pH-neutral, terrazzo-safe products that won’t etch the marble chips, then deep clean to remove embedded dirt and grime.
With the floor clean, we inspect for cracks, chips, pinholes and voids. We fill these with a grout or epoxy matched to your floor’s matrix, so repairs blend in and damage doesn’t spread under daily traffic.
Using industrial-grade grinding machines and diamond tooling, we level the surface and remove scratches, etching and stains. We work from coarse to finer grits, which smooths the floor and reveals fresh, vibrant terrazzo.
We move through progressively finer diamond grits to bring out a deep, natural shine. Whether you want a satin, semi-gloss or mirror-like finish, polishing creates a durable shine that doesn’t depend on wax.
To finish, we apply a high-quality penetrating sealer that:

Signs your terrazzo needs polishing:
It depends on traffic. High-traffic areas like school hallways, lobbies and retail floors usually need periodic burnishing or light re-polishing every 6–12 months to keep their shine. A full grind-and-polish restoration is only needed when the floor is badly worn, scratched or stained. Not sure what your floor needs? Contact ARC Building Solutions for a free terrazzo floor assessment.
Waxing adds a coating on top of the floor that wears down, scuffs and yellows over time, so it has to be stripped and reapplied again and again. Diamond polishing refines the terrazzo surface itself, creating a natural shine that lasts much longer and needs less maintenance.
Yes! Many Metro Detroit homes and buildings have original terrazzo hidden under carpet, tile or linoleum. Once the covering is removed, we clean off adhesive residue, repair damage and grind and polish the floor to restore its original beauty.
