Historic Wide-Plank Floor Refinishing
Original wide-plank floors throughout this 1741 home were refinished across approximately 4,266 square feet, creating a lighter, brighter appearance while preserving the character built into the house.
A brighter finish without erasing its history.
The original floors were overdue for refinishing, but the wood itself remained intact. Both the upstairs and downstairs were carefully sanded to remove the worn, darkened finish and reveal the natural variation of the historic wide planks beneath.
Bona IntenseSeal established the warmer natural foundation. Two coats of Berger-Seidle GreenStar in satin completed the system with a restrained sheen. The result renewed the entire home while allowing its age, craftsmanship, and lived-in character to remain visible.
