designer的报价1500刀. 这个价钱值吗?
p.s.木地板的面积是300sq ft.

差不多.....我之前问VALECRAFT的木地板UPGRADE要1800...不过不是很SURE多少的范围...后来发觉VALECRAFT的UPGRADE太宰人了就放弃了...

建议去RONA自己亲自看看价格....另外可以跟不同的BUILDER问价钱对比一下.....

May be, oak costs about 3.5 per sq feet. Some wood costs like 8.5 per sq. So it is 1500 dollar more.

You have to sure they will use different wood not the same wood with different surface treatment.

是啊, 我已经觉得被宰了. 我买的是Unbandale的房子, 目前正在定室内装修. 感觉designer在漫天要价.

designer asks $1500 for stain change, but not the wood.
I found the same oak in homedepot, it costs 6.99 /sq ft with different stain choices.

now, my questions are:
is it worth to change the stain only?
should I change the wood instead?

P. S. When talking about the surface treatment, I was told the supplier had environmental friendly cut, environmental friendly treated and stained solid wood. That's why the price is way up higher than the regular flooring.

It is bullshit. It costs same for them to change the stain.

But oak is neutral color. It isn't impressive by itself, but It goes with everything.

The yellowish oak is so common in the old days. You may find a little bit boring and not impressive. Maybe you can try some darker color like gunstock, early American, or English cherrynut. Believe me, it looks much impressive for oak. The other choice is to change to other wood. Maple looks very nice, but easy to get scratch and damaged, not because of the hardness, as maple doesn't have any grain. Any damage will be shown. Birch/cherry looks nice too, but soft. Exotic wood seems to be the trend, you need more money.

Thank you very much for your advice.
I don't quite understand the Exotic wood. would you please explain it?

 

[novadalhomes]

You can google to get better answer. From my understanding, the exotic hardwood means those hardwoods imported from outside of north America, especially refers to Latin American tropical hard wood.

Thank you very much for your advice.

谢谢个位回贴, 顶贴的. 我家内装修的部分已经告一段落.
就地板的事给大家汇报一下,我们最终没有要builder的地板, 打算以后DIY自己想要的木地板.
以后有不懂的地方还得烦请各位多多指教!
