I recently had my hardwood floors restained a much darker color. I like the color and the finish, but I'm looking at the details of this job and cannot I believe I paid for this! I'm trying to decide if I have unreal expectations, or if these issues justify him coming back to resand/ etc....and concerned that fixing these issues is even possible! Any suggestions, input, etc is greatly appreciated. First issue, there are many marks on the floor where it looks like he was too aggressive with the orbital sander. Second issue, there are at least a dozen areas where it looks as if he turned on the belt sander and left it in one spot, so there are divots in the floor. Third, there are two areas where the color is inconsistent (light/ dark patch.) And last, there are several (3 or 4) areas that are quite rough...either air bubbles or improper cleanup after sanding (and some spots where I see strands of hair trapped in the finish.) What is a realistic expectation for a refinish/ restain and what should I insist he fix?? This is an area of about 600 sq feet. Should I be concerned this will be an issue if I am trying to sell my house?! Thanks very much.
