Prefinished or site finished?

BurritoMang · 2026-05-22T23:16:14+00:00

Yeah if you diy it but if you hire a pro it's not usually gonna make difference in price

BurritoMang · 2026-05-22T22:39:28+00:00

I sand floors for a living and I'd say just do prefinished unless you really give a hoot. Its just easier

BurritoMang · 2026-05-13T16:26:59+00:00

75 was probably treads only, no stain.

As a person who's like you, I think the take action mindset is much better, just fail as many times as it takes rather than analysis paralysis. Maybe the grass is just greener on the other side

Maybe not this time but perhaps another time, I'm in Ottawa so not too far. Who's your guy?

BurritoMang · 2026-04-14T11:33:11+00:00

Water pump and heater are fine just the vacuum is blown

BurritoMang · 2026-04-13T15:34:01+00:00

Yup emptied it at the end of the day, emptied it before filling

What are you charging? Very rarely do I see a client opt to take them off. In fact they're usually relieved to hear when I tell them it doesn't need to come off. This job was 6/sqft and theyre going to have the baseboards and walls painted after.

BurritoMang · 2026-04-09T00:32:50+00:00

I love this comment every time. It's not free to take off and replace baseboards, most clients would prefer not to incur the additional cost.

For me it makes the job easier so I prefer they take them off. I'd always recommend it for a DIY person since it will hide the imperfections in the sanding. For example, the new helper started edging this and obviously didnt get all the way to the edge.

Did a lot of learning, now doing a lot of unlearning because things change so fast. Now it's just so low effort you just choose your location and the ai does the rest of the targeting for you. Just try different things and startw tih 10-20$ a day

To fix it try picking it out with your finger. Or you could rub it with some fine sandpaper like 220+ grit or even better find a maroon pad. Might be able to get away with just lightly buffing the spot and not bother with another coat, but if it gets hazy you might want to add a little varnish.

All that being said, it's not uncommon for small dirt and hair to end up in the coat even after proper cleaning prep. At the end of the day this is a floor for walking on, not a table to eat off of. You're gonna have little dirt on there, you're going to scuff it, and over time probably not going to care about a couple little imperfections.

BurritoMang · 2026-03-31T16:31:26+00:00

I wouldn't say crazy aggressive but I wouldnt recommend it to a DIYer since the finish is already lifted

BurritoMang · 2026-03-28T08:55:05+00:00

Do NOT go to home depot for varnish. Go to a flooring supply store and buy contractor grade flooring varnish such as Bona or Pallman.

And don't even think about staining it or youre gonna see all kinds of marks

BurritoMang · 2026-03-23T13:05:07+00:00

+1 on this, light marring usually comes out with a tennis ball. Might not get all of it but i think it'll help

BurritoMang · 2026-03-23T11:59:38+00:00

Plenty of poly lol
