Project Overview: Sanding, Staining, and Refinishing in Philadelphia
R.A. from Philadelphia hired Wood Flooring Masters to completely renovate 1,000 sq ft of hardwood flooring. The project involved sanding, applying a custom stain, and refinishing the floor with three coats of water-based polyurethane for lasting protection and shine.
Sanding: Preparing the Hardwood Floor
The first step was sanding the entire 1,000 sq ft floor. Sanding is essential to remove any old finish, dirt, and imperfections from the wood’s surface. Our team used high-quality equipment to ensure the floor was perfectly smooth and even, ready to absorb the new stain and finish.

Custom Staining: Personalizing the Floor’s Look
After sanding, R.A. chose a custom stain to enhance the natural look of the hardwood. Staining is an important step for adding depth, color, and richness to the wood, making it fit seamlessly into the home’s interior style. Our team applied the stain evenly, ensuring the color was consistent and the wood’s grain was beautifully highlighted.
Refinishing with Polyurethane: Protecting and Shining the Floor
Once the stain had dried, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to provide a protective finish. Polyurethane helps safeguard the wood against scratches, moisture, and wear. The water-based formula dries quickly and leaves no yellowing, ensuring the floor retains its fresh appearance. It also adds a glossy, polished finish, bringing out the beauty of the custom stain and protecting the wood for years to come.
