Removing the Old Hardwood Flooring
For our customer J.J. in Manhattan, we began a comprehensive 650 sq ft hardwood flooring renovation by removing the old flooring. This step is essential to prepare the space for new flooring and ensure a flawless installation. Our team carefully removed the existing hardwood and disposed of the debris, leaving the space ready for leveling and the next stages of the process.
Preparing the Subfloor with Plywood and Soundproofing
After removing the old flooring, we leveled the subfloor to create a sturdy base for the new hardwood installation. To enhance durability and noise reduction, we installed new plywood and soundproofing material. This step is critical in urban settings like Manhattan, where minimizing noise transfer is a high priority for homeowners.

Installing 4″ White Oak Flooring
Next, we glued down 4″ unfinished white oak planks, ensuring precise alignment and a seamless fit. White oak is a popular choice for its durability, timeless appeal, and ability to match various interior designs. The careful installation process guarantees that the new flooring not only looks stunning but also provides long-lasting performance.
Sanding and Refinishing for a Natural Look
Once the white oak flooring was installed, we sanded the surface to prepare it for finishing. J.J. opted for a natural finish, preserving the authentic beauty of the white oak without adding stain. To complete the project, we applied three coats of water-based polyurethane, providing a protective layer that enhances the wood’s appearance and durability.
