Sanding and Refinishing for a Fresh Look
J.J. from Manhattan reached out to us for a hardwood floor renovation in their 693.52 sq ft home. They wanted to restore the natural beauty of their floors without changing the color. Our team provided sanding and refinishing services, making sure the wood remained in its original, elegant state. Additionally, we sanded and refinished the closets and room dividers to keep everything looking uniform and polished.
Restoring Natural Beauty with Sanding
The first task was sanding, which involved removing the old finish and smoothing out the surface. Sanding is key to restoring the wood’s natural beauty, as it helps eliminate scratches, dirt, and imperfections. We also filled any gaps or cracks with wood filler to ensure the surface was smooth and even. This process set the foundation for the rest of the renovation.

Applying Protective Polyurethane Coats
Once sanding was complete, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane. This provided an extra layer of protection and durability to the floor, ensuring it could withstand everyday use. Water-based polyurethane is ideal because it dries quickly and has low odor, making it a great choice for residential areas. The three coats offered lasting protection and enhanced the natural beauty of the wood.
Achieving a Semi-Gloss Finish
To complete the renovation, we applied a semi-gloss finish to give the floor a beautiful sheen. This type of finish strikes a perfect balance between elegance and practicality. It enhanced the natural grain of the wood without being overly shiny. The semi-gloss finish not only made the floors more visually appealing but also provided a surface that is easier to clean and maintain.
