Overview of the Project
B.B., a valued customer from Mott St, Manhattan, NY, contacted Wood Flooring Masters for expert hardwood floor sanding and refinishing. The project involved refinishing 219 sq ft of hardwood flooring. Our goal was to enhance the natural beauty of the wood without changing its color. To ensure a smooth process, our team took care of moving the furniture, allowing us to focus on every detail of the floor restoration.
Sanding and Refinishing Process
The hardwood floor renovation began with sanding, an essential step to remove imperfections and old finishes. Sanding ensures the new polyurethane finish will bond properly to the wood, creating a smooth and flawless surface. B.B. decided to keep the wood’s original, natural look without applying any stain, letting the authentic wood grain shine through. This decision helped maintain the classic, timeless appeal of the hardwood floors.

Protective Coating with Polyurethane
After sanding, the next crucial step was refinishing with a durable protective coating. B.B. selected a water-based polyurethane finish for its fast-drying qualities and eco-friendly benefits. To provide the best protection, we applied three coats of polyurethane to guard against daily wear and tear. The finish also highlights the natural wood grain, enhancing the beauty of the floor with a clear, smooth finish that is long-lasting and resilient.
Satin Finish for a Perfect Look
To complete the renovation, B.B. chose a satin finish for the hardwood floor. The satin finish provides a soft, elegant sheen without the heavy glossiness that can sometimes feel too bright. It strikes the perfect balance, giving the floor a polished, clean look while also helping to hide dust and dirt. The satin finish suits various interior styles, providing a sophisticated and understated charm.
This hardwood floor renovation transformed B.B.’s space, providing them with floors that are not only beautiful but also protected for the long term.
