Woodpecker Hardwood Floors

I ordered north american cheery (select or better) thru a large flooring retail chain, but they admitted they got the flooring from woodpecker, since they had good pricing, due partially to them having their own mills back east. They delivered the hardwood in boxes, we let it acclimate in the house for 4 days, then a very experienced installer I knew personally installed it. He laid tarpaper on the 3/4" subfloor, then nailed each piece in place. Although select+, there were about 5% of pieces with white streaks thu the wood. I had ordered a bit extra, so hand picked and got rid of any big white streaks, then put them in the closets.

The Cheery had a low sheen, looked beautiful when installed. Not too busy. However, it turned out to be much softer than I expected. The "super hard" silicon dioxide ? coating scratched easily. I didnt have dogs, but do have kids. It also got +25% darker in sunlight areas, which was a pain where there were area rugs, as we had to remove them to even up the red darkening.

We moved, to west van, doing a big reno, but will get a quote for stained white oak (select or better). We also looking at sand on site, so supplied with no finish, and not micobevel type pieces, although not sure they offer that.

Approximate cost of services:
$5,000.00
