Hardwood Floor Sanding and Refinishing in Garden City
J.M. from Garden City, NY, wanted to refresh their 285 square feet of hardwood floors. The project focused on sanding and refinishing the existing wood, which had previously been covered by carpet. The goal was to restore the natural beauty of the floors while providing a durable, long-lasting finish. Our team at Wood Flooring Masters carefully handled every detail, ensuring the floors looked their best.
Carpet Removal and Floor Restoration
The first step in the process was the removal of the old carpet, which had been covering the hallway and part of the floor. After the carpet was removed, the hardwood underneath was revealed, though it needed some attention. We carefully sanded the floors to eliminate any imperfections, scratches, or old finishes, leaving behind a smooth and clean surface for the refinishing process. The sanding process helped restore the wood’s natural appearance, ready for its new finish.

Natural Look with No Stain
J.M. decided to keep the natural color of the wood without adding any stain or color change. This decision allowed the rich, original tone of the hardwood to shine through, preserving its classic beauty. The natural look highlights the wood’s grain and texture, making the floor feel fresh while maintaining its original character.
Water-Based Polyurethane and Satin Finish
After sanding the floor, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to protect and enhance the hardwood. The water-based formula is eco-friendly and provides excellent durability, making it ideal for homes with high foot traffic. To achieve the desired look, we finished the floor with a satin sheen. This satin finish provides a soft, elegant shine without being overly glossy, giving the floors a smooth and refined appearance that complements any style of décor.
J.M.’s hardwood floors in their Garden City home now have a fresh, new look, with natural wood tones and a durable, protective finish.
