Maria speaks hardwood floor refinishing

She can tell a raw sand from a abrasive grit sequence, knows what cupping / crowning and overwood mean, and doesn’t stall when a caller rattles off feather sand or screen and recoat (scuff & coat). So the homeowner on the other end gets qualified, not fumbled — and while you’re behind a floor sander, she’s booking jobs.
