The hardwood floor in bathroom thing is not as big a deal as people think. If you have a flood....carpet, walls, even tile can get ruined as well. A flood is an accident that is uncontrollable. I would not live in fear that my hardwood floor would be damaged because of this, that's what HO ins. is for. Secondly, if you do a hardwood floor in a high usage bathroom, you merely need to recoat more often. After 4 or 5 coats you will have an impenetrable barrier. If you do continue to get heavy wear, like a dulling finish, you can use a refresher. Its like a light polyurethane application that you apply yourself. It helps to be neat and clean too but I guess that's not for me to worry about. Hardwood Maniac Apartment Therapy Chicago \| Look!: Wood Floors in the Bathroom Flag this comment	3/29/09 7:22 PM

I've dealt with Marc Henderson before and he was an obstinate jerk. I'm sure he will get on here and blame me or rip on my company but fact is the customer is probably telling the truth here. He threatened to sue me a bunch of times and takes things to excessive levels in his threats. Hardwood Maniac Apartment Therapy Chicago \| FloorMall.com Flag this comment	3/25/09 4:02 PM
I love coming back to this thread and still get surprised by some of the horror stories regarding LL. I have never heard about any hardwood flooring company having so many flooring failures, warranty issues, defective material, and charge backs. Hardwood flooring is a final decision that should last a lifetime. It amazes me that anyone would take a chance with a company that has so many problems just to save a couple hundred bucks. Its not worth it. I would personally help any of our customers if any problems arise and give a 100% return on anything found defective had it not been installed. In fact, I am dealing with a case right now and doing everything in my power to carry out the warranty and get the problem areas replaced even though the customer's floor shrank from being too dry. Not our fault but we are still pushing the manufacturer for a replacement of boards, and it is working! www.HardwoodManiac.com Apartment Therapy New York \| Lumber Liquidators Flag this comment	12/19/07 9:33 AM
