Restoring the Natural Beauty of Hardwood in Roxbury
J.B., a homeowner in the vibrant neighborhood of Roxbury in Boston, reached out to Wood Flooring Masters for a full sanding and refinishing project. The job covered approximately 1,000 square feet, spanning four rooms and one main hallway in a charming older home on Mills Street. With a desire to preserve the natural color of the wood and bring out its original beauty, J.B. requested no stain and a clean, natural finish with semi-gloss oil-based polyurethane. The goal was to enhance, not alter, the existing character of the floors—and we were excited to take on the task.
Detailed Craftsmanship Across Every Inch
The process began with a full evaluation of the existing floors to determine the level of wear and any areas requiring special attention. Our sanding phase was carried out carefully and thoroughly, removing years of scuffs, scratches, and dullness. With every pass, the true texture and grain of the wood emerged, revealing the craftsmanship beneath. In Roxbury’s historic homes, it’s especially important to maintain original elements while modernizing their appearance, and this project was a perfect example of that balance.

A Clean Natural Finish That Lasts
After sanding, we applied two coats of oil-based polyurethane in a semi-gloss finish, chosen by J.B. to give the space a timeless, subtle sheen without overpowering the natural look of the wood. Oil-based polyurethane offers durability—especially in high-traffic areas like hallways—and brings out depth in the wood grain, making the floors feel both fresh and classic. With no stain used, the warm, organic tone of the wood took center stage, allowing each room to feel open, clean, and renewed.
