- Has been the standard for decades
- 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
- Sanded flat so it’s more forgiving of slight irregularities in the homes subfloor system
- 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
- A 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)
- Small repairs are easy
- Easy to re-coat with original finish several years down the road to eliminate scratches and light wear
- Required to stay off floors for at least 12 hours after each coat (3 coats usually)
