Tile flooring installers serving Coconut Grove, FL

Tile flooring in Coconut Grove

The Grove has one of the highest concentrations of mid-century housing in the county, which makes it prime terrazzo territory. An enormous number of these homes have original poured terrazzo sitting under carpet, vinyl or a 1990s tile job. Pulling that up and restoring what is beneath is often cheaper than a new floor and produces something you cannot buy new.

The canopy that makes the Grove pleasant also makes it damp. Heavy shade, dense planting and slow drying mean ground moisture is a genuine consideration here, and slab moisture testing matters more than in more exposed parts of the county. Older Grove houses also tend to have been extended more than once, so floor levels and slab ages vary within a single home, which is worth establishing at the measure rather than mid-installation.
