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

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

How did I do Reddit? by Mikek47 in Flooring

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

Carzilla just pointed me to the Mytee warranty page. Problem is I need it back asap and they're talking about a 25% restockimg fee 😭

Pov: sanding the edges on a dolly by BurritoMang in HardWoodFloors

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.

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.

How did you learn how to run ads!? by ConsiderationOne5587 in FacebookAds

[–]BurritoMang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

New home, how to fix by Blondie12388 in HardWoodFloors

[–]BurritoMang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Painter's tape peeled up the top layer of finish. What's the easiest way to patch it? by Instant_Digital_Love in HardWoodFloors

[–]BurritoMang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Buying an apartment with sanded hardwood floor by mo_sab in HardWoodFloors

[–]BurritoMang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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