"They quoted me $7300 for about 170 square feet of paving stones. I had received several offers for less than half that for the wood patio that I preferred, so I did not go with them."

You’ll get both in S&J. As a family owned and operated business located in Howard County, MD we have been helping homeowners in all of Howard County MD, parts of Carroll County, Baltimore County and Northern Anne Arundel County Maryland and surrounding areas with their home improvement needs for over 20 years.
"Jerry was friendly, efficient, straight-talking, and didn't try to upsell us. We didn't need (or want) a lot of design input and had a strong sense for the types of tile and fixtures we wanted. Many of the other contractors who came to give quotes pushed design services or strongly encouraged us to purchase low-quality tile/fixtures through their suppliers, but this wasn't the case with S & J. Elias was fantastic--he helped confirm our tiles and fixtures were appropriate before we finalized our purchases, and we appreciated his attention to detail throughout the process."

Properly maintained terrazzo countertops demonstrate remarkable longevity, often exceeding 75 years of service. This exceptional durability significantly outpaces many alternative countertop materials. Consistent maintenance using appropriate cleaning products helps preserve both appearance and structural integrity. While the initial investment may exceed some alternatives, terrazzo's extended lifespan often delivers superior long-term value when calculated on a cost-per-year basis.
Terrazzo countertops cost between $40 and $75 per square foot installed, positioning them in the mid-to-high range of countertop options. This pricing places terrazzo in a similar bracket to quality granite countertop and mid-range quartz countertop installations. However, terrazzo's exceptional longevity often provides superior lifetime value despite comparable initial costs. Each material offers distinct aesthetic and performance characteristics beyond simple price comparisons.
Terrazzo installation requires specialized equipment, technical expertise, and significant experience—making it unsuitable for DIY projects. Professional installation ensures proper substrate preparation, appropriate material mixing, and correct curing procedures. Attempting self-installation frequently results in structural problems, appearance issues, and potentially higher long-term costs. The complexity and weight of terrazzo materials necessitate professional handling for successful installation.
Certain terrazzo formulations—particularly cement-based versions—can function effectively in outdoor environments with proper preparation and maintenance. Outdoor applications require specialized formulations to withstand temperature fluctuations, moisture exposure, and UV radiation. Appropriate sealants provide essential protection against environmental factors. Consult with experienced terrazzo specialists regarding suitable materials and installation techniques for exterior applications.
Terrazzo demonstrates strong environmental credentials, particularly when incorporating recycled aggregates like repurposed glass or stone fragments. Its exceptional durability reduces replacement frequency, minimizing long-term resource consumption and waste generation. While cement-based matrices have higher carbon footprints than epoxy alternatives, terrazzo's multi-decade lifespan helps offset initial environmental impacts. Selecting locally sourced materials further reduces transportation-related environmental costs.
