When you have hardwood flooring installed, you want it to be the best quality possible, right? Regardless of what wood gets used, if the installer does a poor job, you may notice obvious imperfections that necessitate refinishing. Whether you have one or all of these issues, your flooring will not be what it truly can be, and when something is as classy as hardwood floors, you want it to be the best possible. Prior to installation, each piece of wood is intricately stained and coated to protect it from all dangers, whether it's sun damage, water damage, or general use.
