A Floor Makeover in the Heart of Sugar Hill
J.S., a homeowner on Saint Nicholas Avenue in Sugar Hill, Manhattan, wanted to revitalize the original hardwood floors in their classic New York apartment. Covering 309 square feet across a bedroom, two additional rooms, a long hallway, and three closets, the floors had great bones but needed serious care—especially in damaged areas beneath old radiators.
With a vision to preserve the natural wood without changing its tone, J.S. chose Wood Flooring Masters to bring out the best in the space with expert sanding and refinishing.
A Detailed Restoration for a Multi-Room Space
Our team began with precise repairs under and around the radiator areas, carefully replacing damaged sections without compromising the surrounding floorboards. Once all problem spots were secured, we moved on to full sanding, working room by room to smooth out scratches, stains, and dull areas while maintaining a consistent flow throughout the apartment.
At the client’s request, we applied no stain, highlighting the authentic beauty of the existing hardwood. To finish, we sealed the floors with three coats of water-based polyurethane in a satin finish, creating a natural glow with just the right level of sheen—perfect for historic homes in Upper Manhattan.
