Preparing for Hardwood Floor Refinishing in King Of Prussia
For this project, we provided hardwood floor sanding and refinishing services for our customer, J.Y., in King Of Prussia, PA. The renovation included removing carpet from three bedrooms, the living room, kitchen, and hallway, uncovering the hidden beauty of the hardwood underneath. Carpet removal is an essential step to prepare floors for refinishing, and it allows us to see any imperfections in the wood that need attention.
Sanding Hardwood Floors for a Smooth Finish
Once the carpets were removed, we began the sanding process. Sanding is crucial in hardwood floor refinishing as it removes old finishes, smooths out any scratches, and creates a fresh surface. By carefully sanding the floors in each room, we ensured that they were perfectly level and ready for the final steps. Hardwood floor sanding not only rejuvenates older floors but also helps prevent potential issues like splintering.

Natural Hardwood Floor Refinishing with No Stain
For this project, the customer wanted to maintain the natural color of the hardwood. After sanding, we left the floors in their original, natural hue without applying any stain. Many homeowners prefer this approach to enhance the authentic appearance of hardwood. By choosing a no-stain finish, J.Y. was able to retain the wood’s original beauty and complement the home’s overall aesthetic.
Applying Water-Based Polyurethane for Lasting Protection
To protect the newly refinished floors, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane. This type of polyurethane is a popular choice for many homes due to its quick drying time, clear finish, and durable protection. Water-based polyurethane ensures that the natural color remains bright, unlike oil-based options that can deepen or yellow the color. With three coats, J.Y.’s floors will stand up to daily wear and look beautiful for years to come.
