Introduction to the Project
Hardwood floor sanding and refinishing in Philadelphia can completely transform the look and feel of a home. D.L., located on Kimball St in Philadelphia, reached out to us for help with their 1,320 sq ft hardwood floors. The goal was to restore the floors’ natural beauty, without changing the color, and to apply a protective finish to ensure they would last for years to come. Our team at Wood Flooring Masters provided sanding, refinishing, and protective coating services to bring the floors back to life.
Sanding the Hardwood Floors
The first step in D.L.’s hardwood floor renovation was sanding. Sanding is essential for removing old finishes, dirt, and any imperfections from the surface. It helps smooth out rough spots and prepares the wood for refinishing. Our team used high-quality equipment to sand the floors carefully, ensuring that the wood’s natural grain was preserved. After sanding, the floors were smooth, clean, and ready for refinishing.

Refinishing with Natural Finish
For the refinishing, D.L. chose a natural look with no stain or color change. This allowed the wood’s original beauty and grain to shine through. Refinishing involves applying a fresh layer of finish to the sanded floors to restore their original appearance and enhance their durability. Our team carefully applied the finish to ensure an even, smooth surface that would look great for years to come. The natural finish helped maintain the wood’s timeless and classic look.
Applying Polyurethane Coating for Protection
After sanding and refinishing, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to protect the newly refinished floors. Polyurethane is a protective layer that helps shield the floors from scratches, moisture, and daily wear. The water-based polyurethane dried quickly, preserving the natural color of the wood and ensuring that the floors would be durable and long-lasting. With this protective coating, D.L.’s floors are now ready to withstand daily use while maintaining their fresh appearance.
