Red Oak Installation and Sanding
For this stunning hardwood floor renovation in Highland Park, IL, Wood Flooring Masters transformed 985 square feet of space with a gorgeous new red oak floor. The customer, S.S., selected unfinished Number 1 NEW HARDWOOD red oak boards in both 2 ¾” and 3 ¾” sizes. Our team installed 500 square feet of the red oak hardwood, bringing a warm, inviting look to their home. We began by carefully installing the boards, ensuring precise placement to create a seamless, smooth foundation for the next steps.
Sanding and Staining Process
After the installation was complete, our expert technicians moved on to sanding the surface of the new floor. Sanding is a crucial part of the hardwood floor renovation process, as it removes imperfections and prepares the wood for staining and finishing. We paid close attention to every detail, ensuring the floor’s smoothness and consistency. S.S. chose a custom stain that would match their vision for the space, and we applied the stain to enhance the natural beauty of the red oak. Staining not only brings out the wood’s rich colors but also adds depth and character.

Polyurethane Finishing
Once the stain had dried, it was time for the finishing touches. Our team applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to the floor. This type of finish is known for its durability and long-lasting protection, making it an ideal choice for homes with high foot traffic. The satin finish was selected by the customer for its elegant, matte look that provides a soft sheen without being too glossy. This combination of stain and polyurethane ensured the floor would remain beautiful and resilient for years to come.
A Beautiful Result
The final result was a beautiful red oak floor that enhances the entire home. The 985 square feet of hardwood flooring in S.S.’s Highland Park home now shines with a smooth, refined surface and a luxurious finish.
