I am gonna go out on the limb and say that they patched it in with white oak.

It is the dark side on the right side i know it is red oak . but thank you

New materiali will usually stain lighter than old. They must have done a pretreatment or something different on the patch. Otherwise, iit's the incorrect wood specie.

Thank you for the info

Could also be the source location in where the replacement material came from. Northern Red Oak is different from Southern Red Oak. These days it's more about price.

"I need three bundles..." the contractor informs the supplier.

We did Bona red out on the whole floor and this is the outcome not sure if this had anything to do with it, but the guy is telling me that it is because of new versus old wood, but he never me that it will not blend in. never said anything about the staining coming out different

Just curious what any of you would tell me if I said it is not acceptable and want it redone? my entry way was done with new wood and it doesnt look like this.

Why do my floors look so parchy?

I'm not seeing the floors before staining, after Red Out and info on the stain used.

The red out may not have been dried enough before applying the stain.

I had them resand and no red out. he put some water on the floor and let it dry and then stained it but the stain is very patchy

The water did not dry completely, if, no red out was used.

No, water needs to dry completely. It can take more than a hour, depending on drying conditions.

A moisture meter reading before for a reference point is the correct way to measure if, the MC has returned to normal levels. Otherwise, allow 1 hour or more for water to dry, sometimes overnight.

Just wondering if any of you have asked for the final payment for floors you have done as the final coat of polyurethane is being put on the floors? don’t i get to look at the job once the oil base polyurethane dries and i have inspexted the floors?

I invoice electronically with a 7 day pay term. Also, explain to clients that final's aren't due until after their final inspections. Payments are all explained in my terms on my quotes/contract. Also, done on a software. No need for me to ask, since everything is in the payment terms. Late fees, interest and penalties are disclosed , laso.

So this is the final outcome please tell me what you think?

Doesn't look too bad with the poly on it. It's really up to you whether you want to mess with the finish product. If, you're not satisfied, have them fix it. It will be a after thought once you're moved in.
