Make one trip count

  1. Measure before you call. Square footage, number of coats, species and whether the floor is getting stain.
  2. Call (508) 524-8957 with the full list, not a partial one. We confirm stock and quantities on the phone.
  3. Pick up the morning you start or the day before, with the order staged at the counter.
  4. Round up on finish and abrasives. On the Outer Cape, running short costs half a day.

For coverage, calculate Bona Traffic HD at 350 to 400 square feet per gallon per coat and Mega ONE at 500 to 600, per Bona's current data sheets. The contractor supplies checklist covers the rest.

Rental season shapes the calendar

Chatham, Harwich, Orleans and the Outer Cape towns are heavy on vacation rentals. Owners want work done in early spring or after Labor Day, so supply demand peaks in April, May and September. If you are planning a spring job, call in late winter and we will help you plan quantities for the season. For rental floors, Traffic HD is worth the premium, and waterproof vinyl plank belongs in mudrooms, outdoor shower areas and basements.

Salt, sand and cottages

Outer Cape cottages take beach sand from May to October and sit closed through winter. That is hard on finish at entries and on floors that move with the seasons. Engineered flooring handles unheated winters better than solid, and a maintenance recoat before the season is cheaper than a full sand afterward.
