Our floor guy put a sealer, Golden Oak Minwax stain, and three coats of water-based satin finish polyurethane on our pine floors. They looked absolutely beautiful — a very even shade of medium brown. But we were concerned the satin finish wouldn’t be strong enough for soft pine floors, so he suggested one more coat of high gloss. Though now he says he used semi-gloss. Anyway, so we saw the floors today, and now they are too dark and the color has changed. They look orange, purple, and yellow. Plus the finish is uneven, so they are shiny in some parts, matte in others, and look like someone spilled sticky candy in places. It is totally unacceptable, we have already paid him most of the balance, and we have to move Tuesday. He says he will come back Monday and buff out the semigloss and put down one more coat of satin. He swears the color and finish will be like before. I am dubious. Anyone know? Anyone had this problem before?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
