They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, the pictures—and the results—speak for themselves.
In a beautiful 1924 home in Royal Oak, Michigan, the original terrazzo bathroom floor, walls, and tub surround had lost their luster after decades of wear. What once was a showpiece of craftsmanship had become dull, stained, and tired. The homeowners knew the bones were there—they just needed the right team to bring that original glory back.
That’s where SRS came in.
Restoring History, Not Replacing It
Rather than replacing the terrazzo, SRS focused on restoration—preserving the character and authenticity of this historic bathroom while dramatically improving its appearance.
From the very beginning, the process was seamless.
Jeff walked the homeowners through the scope of work, clearly explaining what could be restored, how the process would unfold, and what kind of results they could expect. Scheduling was straightforward, and expectations were set clearly from day one.
On the day of the project, Terry arrived exactly as scheduled and got right to work.
Craftsmanship That Shows in Every Detail
Working efficiently and carefully, Terry restored the terrazzo surfaces throughout the bathroom:
- The floor regained its depth, color, and natural shine
- The walls were cleaned, refined, and polished
- The tub surround was brought back to a smooth finish
Equally important, the work area was left spotless when the job was complete—a detail homeowners always appreciate.
Before leaving, Terry took the time to explain the minimal maintenance steps needed to keep the terrazzo looking beautiful for years to come. No complicated routines. Just simple, practical care.
A Bathroom Everyone Talks About
Today, the bathroom is once again a highlight of the home.
“Everyone who comes to the house loves the bathroom floor,” the homeowner shared. “The end results are stunning. Thanks to the craftsmanship in Terry’s work, the original glory is truly back.”
Projects like this are why terrazzo restoration matters. These surfaces were built to last generations—and with proper care and expert restoration, they can continue to shine for decades more.
If you have historic terrazzo in your home in Royal Oak or the surrounding area, restoration may be all it needs to look extraordinary again.
