Venable terrazzo does excellent work and is in Baton Rouge.

I love terrazzo. I'm very curious how difficult it is to find an installer and how expensive it is compared to the other options.
There will be an installer in just about every decent sized city because it is still used in a lot of commercial projects. It is more expensive than just about any residential flooring option unless you are looking at something like solid Maccaser Ebony. We did a kitchen reno and did terrazzo in a the kitchen, breakfast nook and a transition area to the great room which was about 800 ft^2 and it was just over $34k. This was basic thinset single color terazzo with glass/marble aggregate. This included removing the old hardwood, grinding the slab and putting on a primer.
They make terrazzo tile which runs from very cheap to very expensive, the cheap stuff looks cheap but the expensive stuff looks great but the savings is actually pretty limited. The one we really liked was $22 per square just for the tile. If you are looking at the expensive stuff I think it is worth the extra for the monolithic pour just to have no grout lines. It is by far the easiest floor I have ever had in terms of cleaning.
Unless you have OT baller money it is a floor you have to be willing to commit to for the long haul but it can easily last longer than you will.
