Sanding and Refinishing for a Fresh Look
Hardwood floors can lose their shine and charm over time, especially in areas with high foot traffic. M.M. reached out to us for a complete floor renovation on their 290 sq ft hardwood space in Manhattan. Our services included sanding, refinishing, and staining to restore the original beauty of the floor. Sanding helped smooth out imperfections and remove any old finishes, preparing the surface for a fresh coat of stain and polyurethane.
Repairing the Borders
In addition to sanding and refinishing, M.M.’s hardwood floor needed some attention to the borders. The intricate detail on the edges of the floor had worn down, so our team carefully repaired and restored the border details to ensure that every corner of the floor was perfectly intact. This step ensured that the floor had a complete and polished look, especially around the borders, which are often a focal point in any room.

Selecting the Stain and Finish
M.M. selected a custom stain for the floor, which added a personal touch to the renovation. Choosing the right stain is crucial, as it determines the floor’s color and enhances the natural grain of the wood. Once the stain was applied, we used three coats of water-based polyurethane to protect the surface and add a durable finish. The water-based polyurethane is ideal for long-lasting protection while maintaining the wood’s natural look. M.M. also opted for a satin finish, which provides a soft, smooth appearance without too much shine, perfect for achieving a sophisticated yet natural look.
Final Touches for a Beautiful Floor
After the sanding, staining, and refinishing were complete, we made sure every part of the floor was clean and polished. With the repairs to the borders and the application of the satin finish, M.M.’s hardwood floors were restored to their former glory. The combination of expert craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and attention to detail left M.M. with a stunning hardwood floor that is both durable and beautiful.
