Sanding for a Smooth Foundation
J.K. from Hamilton Township, NJ, decided it was time to refresh their floors with a complete renovation. The first step in this process was sanding. Sanding is essential for removing old finishes, dirt, and imperfections from the floor’s surface. For this 800 sq ft floor, our expert team carefully sanded down the wood to reveal its natural beauty and prepare it for the next steps. This also included refinishing the tops of 11 steps, ensuring every inch of the floor had the same smooth, polished finish.
Staining with Dark Walnut
After sanding, the next step was staining. J.K. selected a rich Dark Walnut stain to enhance the natural grain of the wood and add a deep, elegant color to the floor. Staining is an important part of the hardwood floor renovation process, as it transforms the look and feel of the wood, providing warmth and sophistication. The Dark Walnut stain perfectly complemented J.K.’s home decor, giving the floors a timeless, classic appearance.

Refinishing for Protection
Once the stain was applied and dried, the floor was ready for refinishing. Refinishing involves applying a protective layer over the stained wood to lock in the color and provide durability. J.K.’s 800 sq ft floor was treated with three coats of high-quality, water-based polyurethane. This protective layer not only enhances the color of the wood but also shields it from wear and tear, helping the floor maintain its beauty for years to come.
Satin Finish for a Polished Look
The final touch in this renovation project was applying a satin finish. The satin finish offers a subtle sheen that gives the floor a polished and smooth look without being overly glossy. It strikes the perfect balance between elegance and practicality, providing a durable surface that’s easy to maintain and clean. The satin finish gives J.K.’s floor a sophisticated, natural look, making it a perfect addition to their home.
