The Finish.
This has got to be the most important step. When comparing quotes, always make sure to understand what finish your contractor is going to be using on your floor- if you don't ask - they usually won't tell!
We ALWAYS use Traffic by Bona Kemi. It has held the title as "the toughest finish" for years. It carries the environmental seal, and dries in less than 3 hours. It is used in commercial applications such as restaraunts, museums, and stores. We use it in all of our residential jobs - do you take off your shoes before going into your favorite restaurant? You deserve as much durability in your own home. With kids and pets (we have both!) You want something that will hold up and keep your hardwood floors protected- and looking beautiful for years to come- Without ever turning yellow!
