hardwood floor problem

'I can call the guy up, but I think it's going to be a hassle.'

Hmmmmm.

Define 'Hassle'. You aren't telling us something.

Well he seems to be a nice guy when he's sober, but who knows. I just think he isn't the best hardwood floor refinisher, but I had to go with him initially because time was a major factor.

How can the wood filler come up the finish sealed it in 3 coats minimum , right. Yes save your self the hassle of calling him , file in court because that is where this will end up.

Do you live in a area that has higher humidity in winter than summer? It sounds like the filler is being squeezed out as the wood expands, but that's normally something that would happen if the wood was very dry and then the interior humidity took a big blip upwards (which is normally the exact opposite of what one usually sees in a Northern Hemisphere winter).

It was a cash job!!!

I live in Canada in Nova Scotia. Cold winters hot summers.

What does cash job have to do with it. Work was done, you paid, you are unhappy, the job failed. You have the same rights.

It is always a wrong to guess, but I will anyway. It may be the floor has dried some more after the filler was put in and it is now loose and coming out.

It is a difficult thing. I can't help you to decide if the job was as good as it could have been or should have been on not. I suggest you may want to check with another local flooring person to see what they suggest and what they suggest to reduce the problem.

....assuming they got a receipt or at least prove this person did the work.....again assuming that the worker denies he did it. But then this assumes....never mind.

Why did he put in wood filler? How large is the area of flooring? Real wood? Licensed contractor? Written bid? Brother-in-law?
