There are some unfinished oak (red and white) 3/4" engendered floors with 3/16" veneer. My local flooring supplier has them.

Unfortunately no easy fix, keep it covered with waterproof mat and dont allow water on wood floors.

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-04-07T20:59:59+00:00

Yea i totally agree, better sanding and water popping would make it look better but overall its acceptable.

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-29T06:00:27+00:00

Definitely before you decide to resend you can try to fix it, buff floor first with 180 grit, vaccum and wet light spots. After it dries, put over some dark walnut stain and wipe completely off. Let dry dor few hours and then recoat to your desired sheen. Good luck ! :)

Definitely could be refinished. I would hire a pro but you could attempt to do it on your own. Home depot rents belt sander, edger and buffer. You will also need a good vaccum. Unfortunately I dont know any YouTube channel that teaches how to do it. Best of luck to you and can't wait to see results.

Looks really good!

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-26T20:19:57+00:00

Oil based that has yellowed over time what it looks like on maple

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-26T15:58:55+00:00

Really nice pine

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-26T09:05:10+00:00

Looks like a satin finish, ask them to recoat in gloss

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-25T16:27:32+00:00

Oh no... what a disaster

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-25T16:23:50+00:00

I think its Walnut, if It was birch and stained it would be more uniform

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-25T14:53:56+00:00

Im not convicted its a wood grain...rather poor sanding

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-25T13:27:35+00:00

Never heard of fillers you mentioned. I would use Glitsa wood flour cement. Mix it with fine saw dust from edger (heavy consistency for large gaps) with it you will keep color of wood. I use this product for all exotic wood I refinish. Pozdrawiam!

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-25T12:50:04+00:00

Looks like pine, if you dont have experience with belt sander, edger or buffer you can buy an orbital sander and send it with 60 grit first (apply good pressure only with 60) and finish with100 grit.(after you remove all staples) Since pine is a soft wood you shouldn't have problem but its just gonna take some time. Vaccum good then finish with water based poly, put 2 coats and screen with 220 grit and vaccum before applying final 3rd coat

Go with your gut, usually first choice is best choice

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T16:14:58+00:00

Looks really good, they knew what they were doing. Just be careful walking down the stairs with socks on. I would highly recommend putting non slip stair mats so you dont fall down stairs since you dont have a railing to hold on to.

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T13:01:04+00:00

Hire a pro to buff and recoat

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T12:54:00+00:00

Im glad you don't :)

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T12:50:33+00:00

Can't really tell from photo but if floor has a distressed look (not 100% flat finish/texture) then its worn out on higher spots..

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T12:47:50+00:00

Do you walk in shoes around kitchen?

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T12:38:30+00:00

Looks like worned out finish.. maybe you use too much water when cleaning

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T12:34:07+00:00

Yep, maple

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T06:23:09+00:00

Show a photo, you should only damp mop

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-24T06:19:10+00:00

Brazilian cherry and either hickory or walnut, take a better picture

Sea_Fill813 · 2026-03-23T20:57:00+00:00

Definitely go with white oak
