Here is a more in-depth look at how these factors can determine the length of a project:

Sanding Times: 12th & Oak typically can sand around 1,000 sq feet per day. This means 12th & Oak can have floors sanded and prep at a quick pace. Sanding newly installed hardwoods can take little to no time but it is important to understand that older, untreated hardwoods may take a longer process.

Stains: When reviewing the timeline of a flooring project, different stains will determine how long the process may take. For example, an oil-based finish on a 1,000 sq ft surface should take up to 3 days to complete. This is due to coating the floor three times which includes a sealer coat. Each coat needs at least 12 hours to dry before applying the next.

With a water-based stain, this only takes 2-3 days, due to water-based stains drying much quicker. While three coats are still required, the water-based stain can dry within 2-3 hrs.

Here is a brief timeline of an oil-based finish of 1,000 sq ft. that 12th & Oak takes in ensuring the best finish and stain on hardwood floors around:

Day One - 12th & Oak sands floors to bare wood.

Day Two - Apply coat sealer then apply one coat of oil-based stain.

Day Three - Lightly abrade the hardwoods and then apply a third coat of polyurethane.
