  3. Meticulously reinstall the original parquet flooring, ensuring proper alignment and fit
  4. Sand the entire floor to create a smooth, even surface
  5. Apply a custom stain to enhance the wood’s natural beauty and match the church’s aesthetic
  6. Seal the floor with a durable finish to protect against wear and tear
