"Back when I first started my company, if I was on a job and got a call from someone interested in getting a wood floor, I'd be like, 'Cool, I'll leave the job right now to come over and measure it.' That resulted in a lot of me running around like a lunatic. It's been many years since those times ..." Read more from Dan Portu of Heritage Hardwood Floors here 👉 https://bit.ly/3E2QuFG

Peeling at the Edges—Reason #368 Why You Should Use a Reputable Wood Floor Pro

We got this video from pro James Harbour of Harbour Precision Floors: "A builder I had never worked for called me. He had a guy finish the floor in a new house and, when he called him back to fix the floor, he just disappeared. Wouldn’t answer his calls or call the builder back. The finish was as you see in the video, mostly around the edges where he didn’t sand in between coats, and some out in the middle. I dislike going behind someone else’s work, but it had to be sanded back down and fixed so the older couple who owned the house could move in and enjoy their new home." Do you have an interesting wood floor video? A problem floor, wood floor oops, Trick of the Trade, or anything else? Send it to us at editors@woodfloorbusiness!
