Sanding and Repair in Lincoln Square, Manhattan
When R.L. from W 70th St in Lincoln Square, Manhattan reached out to Wood Flooring Masters, they needed expert hardwood floor care for a small yet high-visibility area in their home. The project involved sanding, refinishing, and a precise red oak repair—all designed to restore the floor’s original elegance while maintaining the charm of the apartment’s classic style.
Restoring Character in a Compact Space
With less than 100 sq ft affected, the job required accuracy over volume. R.L. had sourced a bundle of 3 1/4″ red oak unfinished boards and trusted our team to make it blend seamlessly. The goal was to repair a damaged section, match the tone with the existing hardwood, and install baseboards that completed the space without disrupting its layout.
Sanding and Repair in Lincoln Square, Manhattan: A Hardwood Floor Renovation Story (Customer: R.L.)
Precision Floor Sanding and Color Matching
Our first step was repairing the damaged boards with the new red oak, followed by detailed sanding to create a smooth, level surface. We used professional sanding tools to ensure the new boards sat flush with the old ones. Then came the trickiest part—color matching. In Lincoln Square’s historic buildings, natural lighting and aged finishes can make blending tricky, but we created a custom tone that brought it all together.
Seamless Baseboard Installation
To complete the look, we installed brand-new baseboards that framed the room and highlighted the refinished area. Even small upgrades like this can elevate the feel of an NYC apartment. In tight Manhattan spaces, our clean, efficient installation ensured no disruption to the home while achieving a polished, updated finish.
