Sanding and Refinishing Steps in Philadelphia
J.S. in Philadelphia wanted to refresh the hardwood steps in their home. Wood Flooring Masters was hired to provide sanding and refinishing services for 43 steps. The goal was to restore the steps to their original beauty with no color change, keeping the natural look of the wood. Our team ensured that the refinishing process included three protective coats of water-based polyurethane to guarantee a long-lasting, smooth finish.
Restoring the Wood’s Smooth Surface
The first step of the renovation was sanding the 43 steps. Sanding is essential for removing dirt, old finishes, and any imperfections on the surface of the wood. It helps prepare the steps for the refinishing process by creating a smooth and clean surface. Our professional sanding equipment ensured that every step was evenly sanded, providing an excellent foundation for the new finish.

Enhancing the Wood’s Natural Beauty
After sanding, the next step was refinishing the tops of the steps. J.S. decided not to apply any stain, so the natural color of the wood was preserved. We applied three coats of water-based polyurethane, a top choice for homeowners looking for durability and a clear, non-yellowing finish. This protective layer ensured the wood would stay shiny and resistant to daily wear, while keeping the wood’s original look intact.
Protecting the Hardwood Steps
The final step in the renovation was applying three coats of water-based polyurethane. This high-quality polyurethane is perfect for high-traffic areas like stairs, offering protection against scratches, spills, and general wear and tear. The water-based formula is clear and non-yellowing, which helps maintain the wood’s natural color. The three coats provided an extra layer of durability, making the steps easier to clean and maintain while keeping them looking fresh for a long time.
