Elevating Natural Beauty in the Upper West Side
Wood Flooring Masters recently had the opportunity to work with R.A., a homeowner at 250 W 90th Street in Manhattan’s historic Upper West Side. The project called for sanding and refinishing 1,000 square feet of hardwood flooring—with a focus on preserving the natural beauty of the wood. With no stain requested and a high-traffic Manhattan home to consider, our team delivered a clean, durable, and elegant finish.
A Smooth and Seamless Experience for R.A.
The homeowner wanted a refreshed look without altering the tone of the existing floors. We provided a detailed consultation to understand their goals, which centered around keeping the wood’s authentic appearance while enhancing its durability and shine. With years of wear on the surface, it was time to restore these floors to their original charm—something we specialize in for prewar and modern buildings alike in the Upper West Side.
Natural Hardwood Refinishing in Upper West Side, Manhattan: A Hardwood Floor Renovation Story (Customer: R.A.)
Our Process: From Dull to Dazzling
We began with a dust-free sanding process, stripping away the old finish and smoothing out imperfections across the entire 1,000 sq ft. Once prepped, the floor was sealed with three coats of water-based polyurethane, offering a strong, low-VOC finish that’s ideal for families and urban living. Since no stain was applied, the polyurethane allowed the natural tone and grain of the wood to shine through—creating a bright, timeless look that complemented the home’s character.
