    Refinish floors done 15 years ago

    Go to NWFA.org and get a few companies out to give u a bid. Then u can address doing the job when they are doing the estimate. It all depends on your layout & which direction your flooring is running. Anything is possible, just have to find the right people to do it. Saying that, as a floor...

    Transition piece left poly marks. Now what?

    Ernesto is definitely right on this one! Looks like your floor guy did what was best, he overlapped the flooring to make a wider safer reducer. The wider the btr because it can be on less of an angle to prevent a tripping hazard. I don't know what else u could expect!

    Homerwood wide plank

    Did an 8" floor about a month ago now. I added an extra $1.25 per sq ft and came out pretty good. We still rack out after leaving about a 18" for the glue. We always put the glue on the sub floor tho

    How to fix water stains?

    Usually over lacquer, they would apply paste wax. That would explain why it turned white. I would try a small amount of paste wax for floors with 0000 steel wool. Should take care of it

    Tile saw?

    What tile saws is everyone using? Got some big showers & floors coming up, so was going to invest in a new saw to make things faster hopefully! Need something to be able to cut at least 18" on a 45. Thanks in advance for the replies

    Swirl Marks NEED HELP

    Well all I know is I haven't used a buffer for between coat machine. For the last 10 years been using a square buff with maroon pad & 220 grit sanding tape. Can't beat the results. Works exactly like I need every time

    Floor direction for new hardwood over 1925 hardwood on sleepers?

    Or u could always install the new flooring on a 45 deg angle that would b the best of both worlds. Make it stronger & look amazing!!

    2 issues - Too light new floorboards and dark stain.

    Looks like u did a great job with the repairs. What did u use to sand everything? Doesn't really look like everything is flat with the repairs! What are u planning to do with the floors? Clear poly or stain? Water or oil based?

    Hardwood Buff and Coat

    From the pic where the stain was gone it either looked like pre finished with the over-under wood. Or maybe your floors are crowned since the stain is missing in the middle of the board but not on the edges. At any rate hand sanding should be better in either case!! It's hard as a floor...

    Hardwood Buff and Coat

    Good deal. Hopefully he can take care of the issues. What finish does he use?!

    Hardwood Buff and Coat

    Or the only other thing u must have is a crowned, or cupped wood floor. Best to sand it down and completely refinish it since it wasn't flat. Therefore the buffer went right through the finish & stain
