Finish reorders
Do you have to buy finish from FloorIt?
Last updated · FloorIt
No. There's no rule that you buy finish from FloorIt, and no minimum order. Your first 12 gallons come with the program. After that, you can reorder ours or use another product. Here is how it works, and what to check if you use something else.
What your starting finish covers
- 12 gallons
- Shipped to your door
- About 1.8 gallons
- A 1,000 sq ft job, one coat
- About 6 floors
- From your first 12 gallons
After that, you order when you need it, and reorders ship straight to your door. Our job math uses about 24 cents a square foot per coat for finish. Ask us for the current price and shipping before you order.
When you reorder finish from us, leads come bundled in. If you use another finish, you run your own marketing for leads.
Why there's no rule
We want you to buy our finish because it works, not because you have to. FloorIt Two-Part Finish is a two-part, water-based urethane, a proprietary mix manufactured by ProCoat. If it stops being the best choice for your jobs, you should be free to pick another.
If you use another finish
- Check that it's a two-part finish, with a hardener you mix in
- Check its coverage per gallon and how many coats it wants
- Check the warranty, and who stands behind it
- Check the VOC rules where you work. A finish that's legal in one state can be illegal in California and much of the Northeast
Why reorders matter to us
Finish you reorder is how we earn after you start. You only reorder when you're doing jobs, so the way we do well is you being busy.
