Project Overview: Sanding, Staining, and Refinishing in Manhattan
In Manhattan, J.A. wanted to give their hardwood floors a fresh, updated look. At Wood Flooring Masters, we provided professional sanding, staining, and refinishing services for their 1,425 sq ft space. The goal was to restore the floors to their original beauty while adding a new custom stain to match the home’s décor. With the right finishing touches, we ensured the floors would be durable and beautiful for years to come.
The first step of the renovation was sanding. Sanding is essential to remove old stains, imperfections, and the previous finish. It helps smooth out the surface, making it ideal for a new stain or finish to bond well with the wood. We used advanced equipment to sand the 1,425 sq ft area, leaving the hardwood smooth and ready for the next step. Sanding is key to ensuring the floor gets a uniform, flawless finish.
Staining: Adding a Custom Touch to the Hardwood Floors
Once the sanding was complete, it was time for staining. J.A. had chosen a custom stain to bring out the natural beauty of the wood while adding a rich, elegant look. Staining helps enhance the wood grain and gives the floor a unique appearance. The stain chosen for this renovation added depth and warmth to the floors, matching J.A.’s style and vision for the space.

Refinishing: Protecting the Floors with Polyurethane
After staining, we applied a 3-coat layer of water-based polyurethane. This polyurethane is perfect for protecting floors from scratches, spills, and wear over time. Water-based polyurethane has a clear, non-yellowing finish that preserves the natural beauty of the stain. The three coats ensure that the floor is not only durable but also has a smooth, glossy finish that highlights the wood’s grain. This step is essential for providing long-lasting protection.
Polyurethane: The Final Touch for Longevity
The final stage of this hardwood floor renovation involved applying three coats of water-based polyurethane. Polyurethane is a protective layer that safeguards the floor against daily wear and tear. Its high durability ensures that J.A.’s floors will maintain their beauty for years. This finish is perfect for homes in Manhattan where the floors may be exposed to more traffic and heavy use. The water-based formula gives the floors a sleek, shiny finish while maintaining the natural look of the wood.
