Sanding the Hardwood Floors and Steps
At Wood Flooring Masters, we understand the importance of a well-executed hardwood floor renovation. In Edgewater, NJ, we had the pleasure of working with our customer J.M. to refinish over 2,000 sq ft of hardwood flooring and 30 steps. This comprehensive project involved sanding, staining, and applying a protective water-based finish. Here’s a breakdown of how we achieved this transformation.
We started by sanding down the entire 2,157 sq ft floor area and 30 steps to remove the existing finish, smooth out minor imperfections, and prepare the surface for a fresh coat of stain. Sanding hardwood floors is crucial for restoring them to their natural beauty and providing a clean slate for the new finish. With professional-grade sanders, we achieved a consistent, flawless surface on both the floors and steps.
Custom Stain Selection for Personalized Style
Our client selected a custom stain color to complement their home’s aesthetic, so we applied one coat of this stain across the sanded hardwood flooring. Staining hardwood floors is an excellent way to bring out the rich character of the wood and match it with the homeowner’s vision. This step transformed the flooring’s appearance, highlighting its natural grain while adding warmth and depth.

Three Coats of Water-Based Polyurethane for Protection
After staining, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane to protect the hardwood and maintain its stunning new look. This eco-friendly, low-VOC finish is perfect for families, as it dries quickly and emits minimal fumes. The three layers of polyurethane provide lasting durability, ensuring that the floors can withstand daily wear and remain beautiful for years to come.
Fixing Squeaky Steps for a Quieter Home
In addition to refinishing, J.M. requested that we address squeaky steps by securing loose boards with nails. This simple but effective solution made the staircase feel solid and stable. With the squeaks resolved, the steps not only looked refreshed but also felt sturdy and quiet underfoot, adding both aesthetic and practical value to the home.
This refinishing project in Edgewater, NJ showcases the transformative power of hardwood floor renovation. By combining sanding, staining, refinishing, and some structural enhancements, we revitalized J.M.’s floors and steps, creating a space that’s both elegant and enduring.
