https://photos.app.goo.gl/B41N6gQmbd2FAMfE9Our white oak floors were just refinished and there are a few issues. There are 2 spots just inside mstr bdrm doorway, one is a spot of the oil based poly that appears to not have leveled correctly and dried to a sharp point(at first I thought I had stepped on a nail) and the spot right next to it, i’m not sure if that’s another drop of poly or a spot that was just not covered w/ poly. Then in the kitchen, there are 2 boards that have holes in them by the kitchen sink in the area where some wood was replaced due to water damage and one of those boards doesn’t seem to butt up as close as it should to the board it’s next to, leaving a gap and the poly isn’t totally covering that area(some appears to have dripped down in the gap but not in all areas). The company that did the work is, I believe, the largest and best hardwood flooring company in town. Yesterday, I emailed them photos of the issues and then called them and spoke with one of the owners of the company (the wife who runs that admin side of things) and she said she’ll have the guy who refinished our floors come take a look later this week and said the holes could probably just be filled with putty and that would take care of the holes. My thought was, “well then they won’t be protected with poly,” which doesn’t seem right; it sounds like she’s just trying to do a quick fix and so they can be done with it. We’ve been living downstairs in the basement for almost 2 weeks now and the movers are supposed to come tomorrow or Monday to move the furniture back in place on the main floor where the floors were refinished and if we have to be down here another 2 weeks, hubs going to lose it, as am I!!
Is her suggested “fix” of just puttying the 2 holes really acceptable and what is an acceptable fix for the drop of poly that dried to a sharp point and feels like a nail sticking up and the spot near that where it seems the poly doesn’t cover?
Thanks
