Question from Beth
Housing is tight in SF. My partner and I found a house that is perfect in every way EXCEPT – the lovely hardwood floors were just polyurethaned. Is it reasonable to think 3 months might be enough? How long does it usually take?
Thanks

The time it takes for any finish to cure is greatly affected by the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air. Hotter and drier will make it cure faster, so if you can apply heat, it will speed the process.
Also, you need to know if it is water-based polyurethane or oil-based. In California, it’s probably water-based, but double check.
Three months is probably fine.
