We asked WFB followers on Facebook and Instagram what their pickiest habits are on wood flooring jobs. Here’s what they said.

Victor Hernandez

If something is not right, I'm not coating it until it's fixed. Double-checking everything before even throwing the first coat on.

Jeff Keesling

Making sure the new guy stretches the cords out straight first instead of attempting to roll them up from a tangled pile.

Thomas Lane

Yelling at all the other trades trying to invade my space.

Christopher Morrison

No talking in the house!

Jeremy Harrison

The way my cords get rolled up. Nobody’s allowed to touch them but me. I roll all my cords up, counterclockwise starting from the male end.

Marc McCalla

Paying attention to all the small things. They are the things that make the biggest differences in the end of my projects.

Chuck Bailey

No one is allowed to carry my saws. EVER!

Kenny Freshcorn

Scratches on the edges and corners.

Adam Reynolds

Vacuuming the vents and baseboards!

Jason Kng

Making sure you get a referral for the next job. 😎

Leonard A. Hall

Cleanliness.

Brad Neubert

Keeping things in order and cleaning up before the end of each day to where the only thing to see is progress … it's the little things that make the biggest impact.

Jim Hyde

I hate seeing piles of bundle straps. Clean as you go!

Bill Bagley

I have about 12, but my guy will say I have 40-plus.

Van A. Stahl

Too many to list.

Paul Lang

Detailing, detailing and more detailing.

Dallas Day

Cleaning my equipment and packing the truck so it is ready for the next job.

Rusty Tatroe

Scraping.

Donald C. Bouchard

Stressing far more about quality than quantity!
