Im sitting here in Rural Australia. Just admiring your work. If you ever take a trip to Sydney, I'm upper hunter Murrurundi . 3 half hour drive from airport. Go through our wine fields and reach the start of our cattle and horse country. You have a place to stay . Thankyou Ive learnt heaps.
Awesome job Courtney. I’ve been looking at your videos cause I’m a carpet cleaner and I’m looking to add cleaning wood floors and wood floors maintenance to my services. I have a question what is the name of the machine you use to wash the wood floors after screening them and where can I find it?
I need to get mine done too. I am in morgantown Kentucky. Who do I contact. I don't know if I have solid wood floors. They shining and I can't get the scuff marks out the floor. I just bought this home. Wandering what would I pay? Thanks!
Don't waste your money insuring your equipment. The minute you file a claim your rates go way up. I had a $800 machine get stolen while on a job. I filed a claim my business insurance raised my rates 75%.
They look great ! I have an apt in NY that needs the same thing . What color pad are you using to scuff the old finish and do you screen between coats .? Did you use the same pad between coats ?
Hey! What machine do you prefer, that vibrating square pad machine to adjutate or that spinning machine with the pad? Like that mashine with what you losen up all the dirt and way etc.?
Flooring guy came for just 2 hrs to do 1000 sf. Of reseal first coat. I’m wondering if he and helper really prepared the floor first in that time? He used oil based varathane. I can’t get them to come back for the second coat after 10 days😢. They keep saying they’re coming back but they haven’t. I see footprints on the hall and miss spots along the wall too. I don’t know what to do! Great video!
Couple problems we had with this sort of job. First, customers would accuse us of "ruining the finish" because after a good scrub and cleaning the oils and dirt are so well removed from the floor it's not as shiny. It takes all kinds of explaining to calm them down after and educate them that I didn't do anything to harm the finish. Then second, to avoid the dullness effect of cleaning, we had a polish coating we would swiffer on. It used to work great, but because the frequency of hardwood jobs is so rare, like 2-3 jobs per year, the polish would get too old on the shelf, and when we used it, it comes up streaky, no matter what you do, again causing all kinds of problems with customers. Third, we would almost NEVER get a nice empty house like this. It's usually filled with rugs and furniture and everything has to be moved, making the job take literally 3x as long to do. We finally had to give it up.
Looks like the 3m abrasive pad removed some of original stain from what I could see.. would have concerns about the amount of protective grams of poly you are getting on with a flat pad as opposed to a roller - roller I would say you would get twice the application
@@trumanhardwoodfloorservices I am not great with social media but when in Rome do as the Romes do the name of my new company for carpet cleaning is Oxyfresh carpet cleaning
The swirls are from the edger machine that sands around the walls. They were careless. Live your content
Please tell me the pad you use to strip the polyurethane

I can tell you’re proud of your work
Because of washing you videos , I purchased the vacuum and the scrubber
Dude, you are full of knowledge.
thanks
I don't know why, but that "Thank you Becky " cracked me up so bad 🤣
What grit sand paper did you use?
What grain you use on the machine
Those swirls are from trash or a rock under his screen and pops out when you stain the wood ! Nice work!
Awesome work and finish, I wish you could come up to N. Virginia and work on my floors.
How does a slab built house have a heating and air system with ducts under the floor?

Good evening… I have wooden floors in my apartment and was using Rejuvenate 😢…so I do i remove the old wax and what do you recommend for my floors ?
Awesome work. Check out using a T-bar for applying the poly.. goes a lot easier. Beautiful job though.
One thing I noticed watching this channel, Courtney has top of the line equipment for his company to use any type of job.

To clean them use vinegar and hot water to clean your floors.
this really works for you?
Amazing results!
Subscribed! enjoying your videos...looks like you have Dirt Dragon and more recently the Karcher BR 40/10 C. Which do you prefer?
We used Karcher from Home Depot for my floors, it did worked well.
If it can not be sanded u can hand scrape it !
how is it on a slab when there are ac ducts on the floor? sanding abrades the surface lol
what vacuum are you using? It is a Kaercher but which model? Nt 40/1 Tac?
40/10
