Building a Home Other Design Dilemma

Does this patch of floor look off?

5 years ago

Just doing my final walkthrough on our hardwoods after they’ve been installed/sanded/finished and noticed this patch of floor in a hallway now that the afternoon light is hitting it. Does this look off? Like its wavy or something? The other floors look totally fine and smooth.

Real hard or fair to evaluate from an image.

Yes I can see chatter marks- as Mark says sometimes cameras make it look worse. Is the raking light accentuating it? Is it just an awkward spot that they had problems maneuvering in?

@HALLETT & Co.

this is the photo not zoomed in. I don’t think it’s my camera as beyond that patch it looks pretty smooth. This is the only patch of floor that they didn't install, hallway flooring was already there from previous owners and they just sanded and finished it.

@Mark Bischak, Architect I just posted another photo above, perhaps that helps? That other photo was zoomed it. Beyond that patch it looks smooth.
