Apartment - Greenwich Village, NY, NY
 
Before:
 
These customers loved the character of their old hardwood floors. However, due to an accumulation of dirt and debris over the years, the polyurethane was deteriorated in areas and the wood floor's color was beginning to fade.

 
Another view of these distressed hardwood floors shows how years of soils embedded in the wood have effected the floor. The arrows in this photo show areas on the hardwood floor where the color is faded and lifeless.

 
This close-up of the hardwood floor highlights the trouble seen throughout the rest of the apartment. Areas where the polyurethane has been completely dissolved have been highly effected by dirt and debris and lost their color.
 
After:
 
Our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process was the perfect solution to restore these hardwood floors while retaining the distressed, classic look that the customers loved so much. The results of our restoration process are seen here.

 
Our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Specialists used a series of compounds and special machinery to completely remove the years of dirt and debris emedded in this wood floor. Once the hardwood floors were completely sanitized, multiple layers of a high quality, commercial grade polyurethane were applied. At Sandless Finish we use only the industry's top quality products to ensure our customers get the highest possible protection for their floors.

 
As you can see from this photo, all of the previously faded and colorless areas of the hardwood floor were fully restored. After our Sandless Finish Hardwood Floor Refinishing Process the customers now have a beautiful distressed wood floor with a rich color and vibrant shine!

Before:
Hardwood floor refinishing, NYC

This customer was having their apartment renovated. In order for the apartment to be complete the parquet floors needed to be restored as well.

Hardwood floor refinishing, NYC

Over time soils became trapped in these hardwood floors. This debris deteriorated the polyurethane and dulled the finish and color of the wood floors.

Wood floor refinishing, NYC

Another problem these hardwood floors displayed was heavy damage in areas where tape was placed on the wood. If possible, one should always avoid putting tape onto ANY hardwood flooring. The glue of the tape is toxic to the floors and deteriorates the polyurethane. This leaves the hardwood floors unprotected and causes damage and discoloration as seen in the photo.

This photo shows another area where tape was left on the hardwood floors. In order to restore these wood floors to their original condition, the tape had to be removed and the damage repaired by our Specialists.

Apartment - Upper East Side, NYC, NY
Before:
Floor installation, NYC

This customer had their hardwood floor installed by a previous contractor. When installing hardwood flooring it is vital to follow the proper procedures. If any shortcuts are taken it will soon be obvious. This was the case with the wood floor in the photo. During installation not enough glue was used to adhere the boards to the sub-floor. Also, the quality of the glue was poor. The results of the mishandled installation are apparent in the photo. In a short period of time the floorboards began to detach themselves from the subfloor throughout the apartment.

Floor installation, NYC

Installation is an intricate process and should only be handled by professionals trained in the proper techniques. If the hardwood floor is installed incorrectly, a situation like the one in this photo is inevitable.

After:

Our Sandless Finish Specialists used a commercial grade glue to adhere the hardwood flooring to the sub-floor. During installation it is of the utmost importance to maintain a clean environment and to insure that the boards are aligned properly.

Apartment - Midtown West, NYC, NY
Before:
Painting, NYC

This customer was moving into a new apartment and wanted to have it painted. The apartment was a beautiful space but the walls were lackluster to say the least. It had not been painted in years - the walls were dirty and cracks were visible throughout the space. At Sandless Finish our Specialists are experts at the painting process.

Painting, NYC

Preparation before painting is of the utmost importance. Firstly, any greases or soils must be removed from the wall to create a sanitized surface. Cracks can not just be painted over or filled in with paint as a shortcut or they will reappear over time. Any imperfections in the surface must be filled with spackle and sanded smoothly in order to create a seamless, smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Also, proper coverage of the floor and any other surfaces where paint is not desired is crucial.

Painting, NYC

This photo gives a detailed example of the less-than-ideal condition of these walls. Oils and dirt that had built up over the years is apparent and there is a prominent crack running down the length of the wall.
After:
