It has nothing to do with the builder installing the hardwood or anything else.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the hardwood floors are installed after the house is set & not at the "factory"?
But regardless where the floors are installed, NO trades care that the hardwood floors are installed. They walk in with muddy boots (full of stones), they drop their tools, spill coffee, all the brick layers from the neighbourhood have lunches in the houses because it's nice & clean. That's where the damage comes from, other than the speedy installers that cares only about a quick install & on to the next house...
