Buffing and Polyurethane
When R.H. reached out to Wood Flooring Masters for their apartment on West 42nd Street, they wanted a simple yet effective way to refresh their laminate flooring. Covering 500 sq ft between the hallway and living room, the project required a clean, polished look without the mess of sanding. Our buffing and polyurethane service was the perfect solution for this Hell’s Kitchen home.
A Project Designed for City Living
The apartment’s laminate floors had lost some of their luster over time, and R.H. wanted to restore their beauty without a full refinishing. Since the living room had furniture, we worked in two phases—moving the furniture to one side while buffing and coating the other, then repeating the process to cover the full area. The hallway, with no furniture, was completed seamlessly. The goal was to achieve a smooth, satin finish that added protection and renewed shine.
Buffing and Polyurethane in Hell’s Kitchen, Midtown Manhattan: A Hardwood Floor Renovation Story (Customer: R.H.)
Our Tailored Buffing and Polyurethane Process
We began by carefully buffing the laminate to remove minor scuffs and prepare the surface for finishing. Once the floors were smooth and ready, we applied one coat of premium water-based polyurethane. This eco-friendly product dries quickly, has low odor—ideal for New York apartments—and provides durable protection while enhancing the satin finish. The result was a refreshed, polished look that made the entire space feel brighter and more modern.
