Clean, polish and fill cracks and holes but not level them flush with the floor. Sealed with clear penetrating sealer.
B) A full restore and make the floor look brand new again. Resurfacing to a high polish finish. Cracks and holes and ground flush with the floor and of course sealed with clear penetrating sealer.
Oddly enough I learned this trade from Dana with the monkey pad system. I love the pads for honed and patina finishes but I can't figure out how to get a clear polish finish with the pucks and 11000 pad system. I have a klindex machine that wright's about 150 lbs without weights.
The polishing compound is KP85 made by klindex. It's a bit of a pain to work with but I love the results.
Pricing. I never ever do square footage pricing but for an area this big I need to justify throwing costs. I was thinking $2.00 a square for option a. $13,400 total.
$3.50 a square foot for option b. $23,450 total. I know not every foot would have to be ground so I was thinking $3.00 a square foot but then I'm thinking why only a $1.00 more for a full grind. Clearly over thinking thus lol.
I'm assuming it would take 4-5 days for option a, 7-8 days for option b. That's a complete guess. I never restored this much marble at once before. I like to gross $1000 a day on residential job but think I should make more on a larger commercial job.
Any input would be nice. I'm not going to crystalize.
