Hi, we just had new American Oak floor boards laid, sanded and polished. Selected Bona Traffic HD Satin as research shows it is very hardy and durable. The one Sydney company did the whole job. Overall it looks good and am happy with the sheen.

On closer inspection there are marks on the floor that look like a boot print (doesn't look like the top layer but on lower layers) and burnt marks like as made from a blunt planer from the saw mill (in three different rooms).

Should I accept this quality of work, particularly the 'burnt' marks? Will sanding remove the mark or will they need to replace the boards?

PS. Don't mind the different colours of the flooring in these photos, it's just the angle I used to show the imperfections. The floors are more the colour of the first photo.
