Sanding and Refinishing in Chelsea
At Chelsea Hardwood, we were pleased to help Y.B. with a hardwood floor renovation project in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York. Y.B. wanted to refresh their living room and hallway floors, which together covered less than 500 square feet. Our team began the process by sanding the existing wood floors to remove imperfections and prepare them for refinishing. Sanding is a crucial first step, as it ensures the floor surface is smooth and ready for the new finish.
Dustless System for Clean Renovation
To make the sanding process as clean as possible, we used our advanced dustless system. This system minimizes dust and debris, ensuring that Y.B.’s home remained as clean as possible throughout the renovation. The dustless sanding system is especially useful for customers who want to avoid the mess that often comes with refinishing hardwood floors.

Water-Based Polyurethane and Satin Finish
After sanding, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane. This finish is a popular choice because it provides excellent protection against wear and spills while maintaining the wood’s natural beauty. Y.B. chose a natural look for their floors, so no stain or color change was applied. The water-based polyurethane allows the natural grain and texture of the wood to shine through. To finish, we used a satin sheen, giving the floors a soft, subtle shine that enhances the wood’s appearance without being too glossy.
Refined Floors in Less Than 500 Square Feet
Y.B.’s renovation project involved the living room and hallway, a total area of less than 500 square feet. After sanding, refinishing, and applying three coats of water-based polyurethane with a satin finish, the floors now look revitalized and protected. The smooth surface and natural finish make a beautiful addition to Y.B.’s home, adding warmth and elegance to the space.
The end result is a stunning hardwood floor renovation in Chelsea, Manhattan, showcasing the beauty of well-maintained wood floors. With a dustless sanding process, water-based polyurethane, and a satin finish, Y.B.’s floors are now more durable and visually appealing than ever.
