- The entire process takes almost twice as long as prefinished; therefore, costing you more in labor
- Smooth appearance with no detectable high, low points or bevels

- We use a dust-reduction system that captures most but not all dust, which means, there will be some cleaning to do after the floor is finished
- Great option if you want a custom stain color or install decorative options such as borders or medallions
- Offers more options of finishes (Oil-based poly, Water-based poly or penetrating finish)
