    Default Floor Finisher Recc... Please help.

    Would anyone be able to recommend a company that could:

    Just had a pine wood floor laid after doing all the demo work myself to save some money. Apparently "install" only means install and not actually finishing the whole job... who knew? Not me... I need to do the finishing process - fill with putty, sand, and put on a finisher. Any recommendations on anyone that might be able to do it today or tomorrow?.... The company I used to lay the floor won't be able to come back for about three weeks and will charge me another grand... I know it's super late notice, most of the big box places I called are also booked like three weeks out around the same price. Doing it myself is scary as I never have before...

    Thoughts? Any mom and pop places I could try that are not on the net or that you know of? Could use some guidance...

    Thank you.

    Trying not too as I did all the demo work, etc... but it might end up that way as we are on a schedule and our time is tight... I'll let you know. Do you have experience doing this sort of thing because combined between the wife and I we have approx.... NONE... HA!

    We're screwed... lol.

    All I need to do now (I think) is to get pine putty to fill the gaps, sand it all down, and then throw a finish on it... I think...

    Finishing takes three days from what I understand. Multiple coats. Don't rush it.

    Not screwed. I have general construction experience and know not to eat the putty or finish.

    With the few repairs you've inquired about. You still haven't figured out contractors are 3-8 weeks out?

    Take your time, get the floors done. Come next summer redo them they way you should have the first time, when you're not under time constraints. For now get them sealed and call it good.
