Sanding Process
At Wood Flooring Masters, we are proud to offer expert hardwood floor sanding services. For this project, our client, D.G., needed a 600 sq ft hardwood floor renovation in Manhattan. Our team started by carefully sanding the existing wood floors to remove any imperfections and smooth the surface. Sanding is a crucial step that ensures a clean, smooth foundation for refinishing. It removes dirt, old finishes, and scratches to give the floor a fresh look, ready for the next stages.
Refinishing with Polyurethane
Once the sanding process was complete, our team moved on to refinishing the floor. D.G. chose to maintain the natural appearance of the wood, so no stain was added to change the color. Our team applied 3 coats of water-based polyurethane to provide a durable, long-lasting finish. This type of polyurethane is a popular choice because it dries faster, is low in odor, and provides a smooth and even finish. The water-based option also helps preserve the natural look of the wood, giving it a subtle, glossy shine without altering its original color.

Why Sanding and Refinishing?
Sanding and refinishing hardwood floors is an excellent way to restore their beauty without needing to replace the entire floor. With a sand and refinish service, you can revitalize old floors, remove scuff marks, and enhance the overall appearance. For this 600 sq ft space in Manhattan, D.G. was able to enjoy a refreshed hardwood floor that looks brand new while maintaining its authentic charm. Refinishing also extends the life of the floor, making it a smart investment for any homeowner.
A Smooth, Long-Lasting Finish
The application of water-based polyurethane was the final touch. This coating not only protects the wood from daily wear and tear but also gives the floor a beautiful, long-lasting sheen. D.G. was thrilled with the results, as the water-based polyurethane finish provided a clean, natural look that enhances the beauty of the hardwood while ensuring durability.
