Introduction to the Renovation Project
Hardwood Floor Renovation in Manhattan was the goal for M.G., a customer looking to refresh their 1,000 sq ft prefinished wood floors at 303 E 77th St, Lenox Hill, Manhattan, NY 10075. Our team at Wood Flooring Masters was hired to perform sanding, staining, and refinishing to breathe new life into M.G.’s floors. We worked diligently to ensure that every detail met M.G.’s expectations and gave their space a fresh, modern look.
Sanding with Dustless Technology
To begin, we used dustless sanding on the floors, ensuring a cleaner and healthier process. This technology eliminates nearly all dust, which is especially important in apartment settings like M.G.’s Manhattan home. The sanding process smoothed out the existing wood and removed the old finish, preparing the surface for the stain and polyurethane. Our team made sure the sanding was done thoroughly across the 1,000 sq ft area, including all rooms and hallways, to guarantee a flawless finish.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing in Lenox Hill, Manhattan: A Hardwood Floor Renovation Story (Customer: M.G.)
Staining and Custom Color
M.G. selected a grey stain for their floors, giving the space a sleek and modern look. Grey is a popular choice for those looking for a contemporary, minimalist style. After sanding, we applied the stain evenly, achieving a uniform grey color across the prefinished wood. This choice of stain provided a perfect balance between modern aesthetics and the natural wood grain, helping to create a beautiful foundation for the refinishing process.
Refinishing with Polyurethane
For the final step, we applied three coats of Bona Traffic HD, a high-performance water-based polyurethane. This product is ideal for ensuring a long-lasting, durable finish in high-traffic areas. M.G. also opted for a satin finish, which provided a soft, low-luster shine, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood without being too glossy. The polyurethane layers not only added a protective coating but also ensured that the floors would maintain their pristine appearance for years to come.
