Project Overview
K.C., a homeowner in the West Village of Manhattan, sought to give their hardwood floors a fresh, modern look. Their 800 sq ft hardwood flooring required sanding and refinishing to restore its original beauty. The goal was to enhance the floor’s appearance with a Country White stain, a glossy finish, and a protective coating of water-based polyurethane. Our team at Wood Flooring Masters was delighted to take on this transformation.
Sanding and Refinishing Process
The first step in K.C.’s floor renovation project was sanding. Sanding is essential to remove old finishes, scratches, and dents, leaving a smooth surface for the new finish. Our experts carefully sanded the entire area, ensuring the wood was clean and ready for refinishing. Once sanding was complete, we proceeded with applying a high-quality Country White stain. The stain added a light, clean finish that brightened the space and complemented K.C.’s design vision.

Choosing Country White Stain
K.C. chose a Country White stain to give the floors a soft, inviting appearance. This stain color offers a bright, neutral look that works well with various home decor styles. The Country White shade enhanced the wood’s natural grain while providing a more contemporary feel to the space. This color also made the room appear brighter and more spacious, which is perfect for the chic and cozy atmosphere of the West Village.
Polyurethane and High Gloss Finish
After applying the Country White stain, we focused on protecting the floors with three coats of water-based polyurethane. Water-based polyurethane is an excellent choice because it dries quickly, has minimal odor, and forms a strong, long-lasting protective layer. To complete the renovation, we applied a high gloss finish. This finish provided a sleek, shiny surface that enhanced the natural beauty of the wood and gave the floors a sophisticated, polished look. The high gloss also made the floors easier to clean and maintain.
K.C.’s hardwood floors in Manhattan now have a refreshed, elegant appearance, with a durable finish that will last for years to come. The combination of Country White stain, water-based polyurethane, and a high gloss finish has transformed the space, making it a beautiful and functional part of their home.
