Buffing for a Smooth Finish
A.L. wanted to enhance the look of their 30 sq ft hardwood floor in their Manhattan home. We started the renovation by carefully buffing the surface. Buffing helps to remove any minor imperfections, scratches, or rough spots on the floor. It prepares the hardwood for the application of a fresh protective coat, ensuring a smooth, even surface that looks and feels great. This step is crucial for bringing out the natural beauty of the wood.
Water-Based Polyurethane for Protection
After buffing the floor, we applied one coat of water-based polyurethane to seal and protect the hardwood. Polyurethane is an essential part of any hardwood floor renovation, as it helps to maintain the floor’s durability and shine. For A.L.’s floor, we chose a water-based formula because it dries faster, has fewer odors, and provides a clear, non-yellowing finish. This ensured that the natural beauty of the wood was preserved, while the floor would be better protected against scratches and wear.

Enhancing the Natural Beauty
The application of the water-based polyurethane also enhanced the natural grain and color of the wood. The protective coat gave the floor a beautiful, subtle sheen that highlighted the rich tones of the hardwood. With just one coat of polyurethane, the floor had a refreshed look, making it more resilient and long-lasting.
Quick and Efficient Service
Since the floor was relatively small, measuring just 30 sq ft, the entire renovation process was completed quickly and efficiently. Despite the smaller size, we focused on delivering the same level of care and precision as we would for larger projects. A.L. now has a beautifully refreshed hardwood floor that’s protected and ready for years of enjoyment.
