Floor Refinishing Service. Hardwood Floor Sanding & Installation
I recently had the opportunity to work on a challenging and rewarding hardwood floor refinishing project. The task at hand was to restore the elegance of two rooms, a dining room and a front room that faced the street, both of which were adorned with beautiful custom dark walnut frames.
The first step in the process was to carefully prepare the rooms. We began by clearing out all the furniture and covering the custom walnut frames to protect them from any dust or debris. Proper preparation is crucial in ensuring a clean and smooth refinishing job.
Next, we started the sanding process. The existing hardwood floors had seen their fair share of wear and tear, with scratches, scuffs, and signs of aging. We used professional-grade sanding equipment to meticulously sand down the old finish, taking care to maintain a consistent and even surface. This process also revealed the natural beauty of the wood beneath.
With the floors now beautifully sanded, we reached the exciting part of the project – refinishing. To enhance the appearance of the hardwood, we opted for a water-based finish, which is not only environmentally friendly but also dries quickly, reducing downtime for our client. However, to achieve a brighter and more milky look that complemented the custom dark walnut frames, we decided to incorporate a special touch.
We introduced Loba EasyFinish Whitener into the water-based finish. This whitener added a subtle milky tint to the finish, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere in both rooms. The final result was truly remarkable. The custom dark walnut frames were beautifully contrasted by the bright and milky finish, creating a striking visual impact.
Once the refinishing process was completed, we allowed ample time for the finish to dry and cure. This step is crucial in ensuring the durability and longevity of the newly refinished hardwood floors.
The clients were delighted with the outcome. The combination of the custom dark walnut frames and the Loba EasyFinish Whitener-enhanced water-based finish not only restored the natural beauty of the hardwood but also gave the rooms a fresh and contemporary look. The dining room and front room facing the street were transformed into inviting, well-lit spaces that retained their elegance while embracing a modern aesthetic.
This project beautifully demonstrated the profound transformation achievable through hardwood floor refinishing. It highlighted the importance of thorough groundwork, a keen focus on details, and a dash of ingenuity in rejuvenating the living area, culminating in a welcoming and visually striking space that homeowners will relish for the long term.

He flawlessly sanded out the scratches, fixed some holes, and applied a seal and coating that left the floors looking beautiful. He was efficient, professional, and paid attention to detail. We’re very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Standup Floor for any flooring work! Jonathan LeiterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stand Up Flooring was an absolute LIFESAVER! After more than 10 years in our home with multiple large dogs, the damage was impossible to ignore. Wojciech did an amazing job – when the work was finished, it was hard to believe we had ever had dogs! The color is perfectly even, and the result exceeded all our expectations. On top of that, Wojciech was kind enough to help move some of our heavier furniture back into place. We HIGHLY recommend Wojciech and Stand Up Flooring!

A lucky phone call found us Wojciech. He replaced the damaged section and the entire house has gorgeous new floors. He is personable, hard working, and honest. He was so good that when we needed to have carpet removed and vinyl floors put in at another location we knew just who to call. Thank you Wojciech for another job well done Brittany EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have to commend Wojciech for his easygoing patience and understanding when monkey wrench after monkey wrench was thrown and the process. The planks arrived damaged from Home Depot 5 times, constantly rescoping the completion date — and if that wasn’t enough when the day finally came to complete the floors a lost phone got in the way. Throughout the entire process Wojciech was incredibly calm and understanding and he didn’t hesitate to turn the car around to meet me. I think about how easy it could have been to decide he didn’t want to deal with this and leave the remaining 10% of the job unfinished, but he has a great work ethic. The floors were part “marble” tile and part carpet. He removed the carpet, leveled that area with the tile, and then applied the COREtec luxury vinyl planks.

We had our wood floors finished and stained and even needed some of the wood replaced. He was on time, worked really hard, stayed late to fish the job. His work was first class and it looks fantastic. Also, he is a great communicator and I was able to get updates and work with him always knowing where we were at in the project. He is honest and hard working. I would recommend him and Stand Up Flooring to anyone. MM BadgerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
