How quickly can you start an installation?
It generally takes at least 7 to 10 days to coordinate the start of any installation, flooring or otherwise. BHI, LLC adheres completely to all laws CT small businesses are subject to; client's legal 3 day right to contract rescission, properly signed and dated contracts and permits, obtaining any necessary permits (exterior work), scheduling and expediting material(s) delivery to the job site, acclimation of material, and coordination of scheduling are all factors that can delay the start of an installation.

How do I maintain my hardwood flooring?
The goal is to prevent sanding & refinishing by periodically re-coating when necessary. Therefore, using only approved flooring cleaners in addition to regular dust & steam mopping is recommended. Polyurethane Maintenance Guide
How long will refinishing my floor take?
It depends on several factors; size of the job, type of finish (water vs. oil), stain involved, humidity, etc. Most typical refinishing jobs will take a minimum of 3 to 5 full days, along with accommodations for dry times. On the other hand, a pre-finished floor can be installed and completed in as little as one day.
Is oil based polyurethane better than water based?
No. However, all polyurethanes (oil or water) are brand specific. We only use time tested industry leading commercial grade water base & oil base finishes. The water based polyurethanes we offer are actually significantly more durable than oil base. Yet, each brand of polyurethane finish we offer have their own pros and cons.
