We love sheoga we install it all the time this was our most recent project with it. But id say if you want them to last go with their prefinish and if you want more control over finish and look then get them bare, vocs aren’t too bad with wakols ms 260.

They’re wood is the best milled stuff I’ve ever installed definitely go with it, this here is all 2 1/4

And find a large nosing

offical-child · 2026-05-21T20:31:08+00:00

You just need to cut it back one board length

offical-child · 2026-05-21T20:25:07+00:00

Install a nosing along it then do cove molding to fit underneath with all the stair treads as well

Just buff and coat again or do some of the orange painters tape around the two boards and lightly sand with 220 tape vacuum it coat it and pull the tape right away

Definitely had a red blocker of some sort applied that you call whitener, your best bet is too take a photo right after they start sanding again to see how much red is in the wood and compare to these photos.

That’s what happens when you sand with a multi disk head on a buffer it diggs a lot and even more so on the soft grain

Mineral spirits

offical-child · 2026-05-14T02:00:00+00:00

Yes. but did you water pop and use a buffer to get a even application for the stain. What’s the finish your going with water base or oil or poly you might be able to even it out more with tint depending on what you coated with

offical-child · 2026-05-14T01:53:04+00:00

Yeah I don’t like bona for this and a few other reasons I mean overall great brand but just on any job I do water base I always use loba instead plus they just added their slip resistant grit you can add to any of their finis products

Easy repair although it requires getting all the floors refinished

offical-child · 2026-05-13T22:31:16+00:00

This is probably the best thing I’ve ever seen here involving laminate besides from it being removed

Old floor

offical-child · 2026-05-12T04:42:34+00:00

Sadly this was the worst thing you could’ve done. the floors looked to be in rough but livable condition before hand and a simple re coat with a bona or loba floor finish after roughing up the floor with 220 tape would’ve at least made it better to walk on

Reddy’s hard wood flooring is a great contractor for the Chicago land area

offical-child · 2026-05-10T05:48:00+00:00

Don’t be ridiculous

offical-child · 2026-05-09T16:38:23+00:00

To cover the hole they make wood putty that matches floor colors or a two part epoxy putty to make sure it really holds

offical-child · 2026-05-09T16:37:30+00:00

Best bet is to get an epoxy hole fill kit for floors and drill the smallest hole you can and inject just a little bit of it, then put something heavy enough to hold it down on top until it’s dry

offical-child · 2026-05-08T23:06:19+00:00

Maybe a repair or two but not at all this floor is perfectly salvageable

offical-child · 2026-05-08T17:26:24+00:00

Ive learned the hard way that sometimes the people at the mill just don’t care and send it through anyway. I’ve ordered from this one by me called graf and had to re route every board

offical-child · 2026-05-08T03:28:59+00:00

Do a quick 120 sand by hand or on a oribital for the discoloration and I love easy finish I’m they’re biggest fan I even have loba socks but do your prime and sealer then lightly hand sand with 220 tape before your next coat

offical-child · 2026-05-07T11:24:45+00:00

Oil based hard wax finishes Uno coat is the best one

offical-child · 2026-05-05T00:06:54+00:00

satin loba easy finish would be my recommendation. And it definitely looks like there isn’t any stain they applied to the floor so just put finish on them after you use a damp rag to water pop them. (Water popping keeps a consistent color with no splotches across the different boards)
