mega million dollar house with shit for floors.

[Mike Pailliotet]

Even the Travertine industry is out to ruin it for themselves., who the hell would install this?



What is the most challenging aspec of a job like this?

 

[Trip Moses]

SMH. That raw travertine is popular on pool decks here.

 

[steve_64]

The most challenging aspect would be making it look good.

I hate busting my ass to clean something and it still looks like Crap.

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

Nope.

 

[hogjowl]

The most challenging aspect would be getting the flooring store to fix it

 

[Nomad74]

It all looks good on the showroom floor.

17 years old, that ain't gonna happen.

Next?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Rip it out.

 

[Acp]

are you filling the pitting in and polishing or just cleaning/sealing?

 

[Mike Pailliotet]

First we'll show what it looks like just cleaned and then give them the price on filling and polishing..

 

[dealtimeman]

That will take 3-4 days to restore the right way.

I bet when you start to clean the floor, some of the filler will just so happen to fail.

 

[The Great Oz]

Flipperstone. Buyers want the look, don't know about the quality.

I just did one yesterday, that a customer through the had won the tile lottery paying only .35 cents a square for the tile and having a regular tile setter(mistake mistake mistake) set the travertine for only 400 dollars.

Job took me 3 hours and I don’t think it can out too bad for the amount of lippage present on the floor.

It’s about being a specialist.

That kind of job is 50% of our work.

Close enough..



Dealing with expectations..

 

[randy]

Looks like the floors in a Mexican restaurant down the street. The place opened when I was 3 and still has the same everything including floors.

 

[SuperDave212]

We deal with it all the time, we price it to remove all the grout and replace with me, change bad fill, refinish, polish, new grout, looks like a new floor...photos from a two million dollar house, didn't even regrout

 

[Acp]

wow looks great, I need to learn polishing

 

[SamIam]

That’s hone and polish

 

[Papa John]

Looks like my kitchen floor.

 

[Fat Mike]

Flipperstone. Buyers want the look, don't know about the quality.

Or the maintenance

 

[Jimmy L]

Cheap mexican installers

 

[Cleanworks]

See, you can polish a turd after all.

 

[Todd Slamen]

A little bone or linen non sanded grout floated it the holes would have made the floor look much better, don't think the customer would pay to fill with poly.

take it you honed starting with 220, how high did you go I take most travertines to 1800.
