Hello, I paid to get my floors refinished, was just under $8,900 total for a full sand, stain and finish. It is just under 2,150 square feet. Does this look like a normal way for a floor refinish to turn out? You can see some areas are very light spots and others very dark, then there are sanding marks everywhere. They look like swirls. The swirls can be seen when standing up. And if looking closely there are so many of them. There is also lots of areas where it’s really gritty and not smooth. And then areas with lots of bubbles or like something is in the floor, they didn’t clean cabinets and window seals of dust so not sure if all the wood dust created got blown back onto the finish? All the gaps weren’t filled all the way with wood filler, and you can see some of the edges are very dark compared to the middle of the floor. Any input would be appreciated.

From what you are describing the flooring contractors did not deliver a job up to standards. They had better stop and redo the work before more finish is applied. A halo around the room and scratches that you notice from a standing position after the first coat is not good workmanship. A supervisor needs to see the work, and maybe stay for another try. After the first coat has been applied, you will not get a better look with more coats of finish!
