My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Gaps- seams recently finished floor

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hi! Last week had our red oak floor sandwd and finished in Bona craft oil 2k in the color air. are these gaps in the seams acceptable? am i too picky?

also, the color is a little pinker than i hoped, would you throw some whiter stain (thinking bona nordic) on there? we will be adding 2 coats of Bona Traffic HD.

thanks!

    All normal. Wood moves. It shrinks and swells when moisture changes. Red oak plus a white stain equals pink floors. More white is lighter pink floors. Red oak will never be white oak.
