Floor Refinishing in Dumbo
Wood Flooring Masters recently completed a hardwood floor refinishing project for our customer J.S. on Front Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn. The total floor area was 300 sq ft, and the goal was to bring new life to older wood floors using sanding and a fresh finish. The existing floors had visible wear, light scratches, and had lost their shine. Our team used professional floor sanding equipment to remove the old finish and prepare the surface for a new protective coating.
Natural Look Without Stain
After sanding the floor down to bare wood, J.S. chose a natural look with no stain or color change. Keeping the original tone of the wood is a popular choice for homeowners in Brooklyn who want to highlight the natural grain and warmth of the wood. This also helps the space feel brighter and cleaner. We made sure the sanding was smooth and even so the wood would absorb the polyurethane coating evenly.

Three Coats of Water-Based Polyurethane
We finished the project by applying three coats of water-based polyurethane. This type of finish dries quickly, is low in odor, and is environmentally friendly—ideal for apartments in Dumbo. Water-based polyurethane also keeps the natural color of the wood, unlike oil-based versions that may yellow over time. It’s one of the best options for protecting refinished hardwood floors in high-traffic areas.
Smooth, Durable, and Dust-Free Finish
To ensure a clean and safe process, our team used dustless sanding techniques and high-quality tools from start to finish. We made sure the new finish was even, smooth, and durable. Now, J.S. enjoys fresh, beautiful hardwood floors that are easy to maintain and will last for years. Whether you need full wood floor refinishing or just want to refresh your floors with a new finish, our team in Brooklyn is here to help.
