Damaged Wood Floor

19 years ago

We had some remodeling work done in our kitchen. The workers taped paper down to our wood floor with masking tape and when they pulled it up it stripped the paint where the tape had been. It is in several places around the kitchen. We had someone come out and they said it cant be spot sanded and recoated because where ver the strips were the finish will flake away from it.

The remodeling company sent out the company they use and they said the same thing sand the whole floor and put down new finish. Now the remodeling company wants to send out someone else as they don't want to do the whole floor.

What do all of you think, I don't want a bandaid job that won't last.

Thanks

Call your own guy to do it right, (the remodeler wants to cut cost, by cutting corners) then have the remodeller pay their invoice cost.

Agree with floorguy, get your own contractor to remedy the situation. Hopefully you did not pay the offending contractor the final payment. It's much easier to deduct from the last payment then getting renumeration from an offending individual.

I'm not sure if this is the same thing but our floor guy spot-sanded in places to correct some flaws and the result was awful. Because they aggressively over-sanded, those areas have a different shine, color and grain. Don't do the spot sanding unless they can assure you that these areas will not look different from the surrounding floor.
