Breathing New Life Into a Greenwich Village Home
M.G., a homeowner on E 9th St in the historic heart of Greenwich Village, Manhattan, contacted Wood Flooring Masters to rejuvenate the floors of their charming apartment. The 500 sq ft project involved more than just sanding and refinishing—it started with removing old carpeting, a task many NYC homeowners face when restoring original hardwood hidden beneath years of coverings.
In addition to transforming the floors, M.G. needed furniture moved to make way for the work, and our team handled the entire process with care, efficiency, and respect for the home’s layout and decor.
A Tailored, Natural Finish for Urban Living
Once the carpet was removed, we revealed the underlying hardwood—ready for its transformation. Our crew performed a full sanding using professional-grade equipment to remove adhesive residue and smooth out wear from previous years.
M.G. chose to keep the natural look of the wood, opting for no stain or color change, allowing the inherent beauty and warmth of the grain to shine through. To protect and enhance the wood, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane, a low-VOC, quick-drying product ideal for Manhattan apartments. The final touch was a satin finish, offering a soft glow that’s both elegant and practical for everyday living.
