Restoring the Natural Beauty of the Floor
D.K. from Stowe, PA, wanted to bring the original beauty of their hardwood floor back to life. The 460 sq ft floor required sanding and refinishing to restore its elegance without changing its natural color. Our team was able to carefully sand the surface, removing dirt, imperfections, and the old finish to reveal a smooth, fresh surface.
Sanding for a Smooth Surface
Sanding is a critical step in the hardwood floor renovation process. We used specialized equipment to smooth out the floor, eliminating scratches and imperfections. By sanding down the old finish, we prepared the wood for refinishing, ensuring that the final result would be flawless and durable.

Applying Oil-Based Polyurethane for Durability
Once the sanding was completed, we applied two coats of oil-based polyurethane. Oil-based polyurethane provides excellent durability, ensuring that the floor will withstand heavy foot traffic for years to come. It also enhances the natural beauty of the wood by adding depth and richness to the grain, while also offering strong protection from scratches and spills.
Achieving a Satin Finish for Elegance
The final step in this renovation project was applying a satin finish. Satin finishes offer a smooth, elegant look that isn’t too glossy, making it perfect for homes like D.K.’s. The satin finish provides a subtle sheen that highlights the wood’s natural beauty without being too shiny, creating a sophisticated and low-maintenance surface. It also adds an extra layer of protection to the floor.
