Thank you! I was choosing between Cool Classic and First Crush. I have seen photos of Road Trip online and that color looks good. I chose CC because they were lighter and I really wanted a bright, light space. But First crush is really good looking. It’s so hard! I bought a box of each first crush and cool classic and moved them all over the house to see how they would look at different times of the day. And cool classic won but it was a close call. They are similar.

@ Bigrednole - I'm interested in the Sand/refinish quote. As a rule of thumb a full sand and refinish (including stain) should run $5/sf (might be a snick more if you go with the HEAVY DUTY Bona Traffic HD or Loba 2K Supra AT). But not by much (maybe $1 more per square foot). A $3.50 LVP is midrange quality. Some of the best products run $4.99 - $6.99/sf. Those are the one's with a rigid WPC core and 20mil wear layer (which is the BEGINNING of a good wear layer). To install LVP you should be adding $2.50 - $3/sf for labour to INSTALL. This does NOT include subfloor preparation. You will need to add on for the LVP install: 1. Removal of hardwood floors - $2-$3/sf for removal and dumping fees 2. Subfloor preparation (sanding/filling/sanding and repairing) $2-$4/sf ($2/sf is most common) 3. Removal and replacement of baseboards/adding shoe or quarter round ($1-$2/ linear foot) The TOTAL cost of your $3.50/sf LVP: $3.50/sf material + $2 removal of hw + $2/sf subfloor prep + $2.50/sf install labour + $1/lf trim = $10/sf + cost of trim/mouldings At the end of the day, there is NO WAY a hardwood sand and refinish ($5-$7/sf at most) will be TRIPLE the cost of install of LVP. There is just no way a full sand and refinish of a wood floor (assuming the wood is fully intact and no additional repairs are needed) would cost. That would put the cost of refinishing the hardwood at $30 per square foot. I'm sorry but I just don't see that happening. What is the actual quote for your hardwood and what is the square footage of your hardwood?

@Judy Frank are the ”saw” marks these textured stripes that run horizontally throughout the planks? my sample board of Finally Mine has them and wasn’t sure if defect of sample or true of the floor overall. Does anyone have experience and insight on these ”saw marks” sometimes I see them referred to as ”cut marks”
