Builder hardwood or re-stain solid hardwood?
We are the in the GTA area. Our builder is installing 3" red oak solid flooring in the main floor standard, but the nicest upgrade (and the one we love the most) is almost 14K for a white oak stain wire brushed 5" engineered flooring (approx 1300 sq ft). Obviously you'll never get a great deal with the builder, but how bad is the up charge here?
The other option is to have the solid 3" sanded, stained, and sealed after we move in but I'm hearing that would be at least 8K for a good job, or are we being quoted too high/low for this?
Any thoughts appreciated.
