Sanding for a Fresh Start
E.A.G. from Medford, NJ, wanted to breathe new life into their 1200 sq ft hardwood floors. The renovation began with sanding, a crucial step in any floor restoration. Sanding removes old finishes, imperfections, and dirt, providing a smooth surface that allows for better stain absorption and an even finish. The professional sanding process ensures that every inch of the wood is properly prepped, offering a clean canvas for the next steps.
Staining with Rich Colors
Once the sanding was completed, the next step was to apply a stain. E.A.G. chose a beautiful Provincial or Special Walnut stain, which added a rich, warm hue to the wood. Staining is a key part of the hardwood floor renovation process as it enhances the natural grain of the wood and provides an updated look. The selected shade of stain gave the floor a timeless, elegant appearance, perfectly complementing E.A.G.’s home décor.

Refinishing for Durability
After the stain had dried, refinishing was the next step. This involved applying three coats of water-based polyurethane to seal in the color and protect the wood. Polyurethane serves as a shield against daily wear and tear, keeping the floors looking fresh and beautiful for years. The water-based polyurethane is a great choice for a clear finish that enhances the wood’s natural beauty without altering the color.
High Gloss Finish for Shine
To complete the renovation, E.A.G. chose a high gloss finish. This final touch added a glossy shine, making the floors look sleek and polished. The high gloss finish enhances the richness of the Provincial or Special Walnut stain and provides a reflective surface that adds elegance and sophistication to any room. It also offers protection against stains and scratches, ensuring that the floor remains as beautiful as the day it was refinished.
