Expert wood floor refinishing services for The Bronx homes and businesses
Wood floor refinishing in Bronx breathes new life into original hardwood — restoring the warmth and character of oak, maple, walnut, and Douglas fir floors that have aged under decades of wear. Lion Construction Management provides dustless sanding, custom staining, and professional-grade polyurethane and hardwax oil finishes. Whether you're restoring original 1920s oak strips or refreshing a more recent installation, our flooring teams deliver smooth, even results with minimal disruption to your home.
The Bronx offers some of NYC's most impressive residential architecture — the grand Tudor, Colonial Revival, and Mediterranean-style homes of Riverdale, the waterfront cottages and Victorian houses of City Island, the well-maintained brick colonials of Pelham Bay and Morris Park, and the emerging loft-style developments in Mott Haven and the South Bronx. Renovation in the Bronx often involves restoring substantial single-family homes to their full potential — updating kitchens and bathrooms, refinishing original hardwood floors, upgrading outdated electrical and plumbing systems, and creating open-concept living spaces while preserving the period details that give these homes character.
State-of-the-art dustless sanding systems that remove old finish without filling your home with fine particulate.
Sample stains applied on-site so you can see exactly how your floors will look before committing to a color.
Oil-based and water-based polyurethane options — from satin to high-gloss — for durable, beautiful protection.
Damaged, warped, or missing boards are replaced with matching wood, sanded flush, and finished to blend invisibly.
Pet stains, water damage, and discoloration treated with oxalic acid bleaching and spot repairs.
Rubio Monocoat, Bona, and Pallmann hardwax oil finishes for a natural, matte look popular in modern interiors.
We inspect your existing floors, identify damage, test finish type, and determine the number of sandings remaining in the wood.
Floors are sanded in multiple passes with progressively finer grits, removing old finish and creating a smooth, even surface.
Custom stain samples are applied on-site for your approval. Once selected, stain is applied evenly across all floors.
Three coats of polyurethane or oil finish are applied, with light sanding between coats for maximum adhesion and durability.
Bronx renovation projects often involve substantial single-family homes with significant potential — large rooms, generous lot sizes, and architectural details worth preserving. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management develops a renovation plan tailored to your home's style and condition. Riverdale Tudor homes may need careful restoration of leaded glass, decorative plaster, and period-appropriate finishes alongside modern kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Pelham Bay colonials often benefit from opening up compartmentalized floor plans. We manage DOB permits, any required structural engineering, and coordinate all trades. Expect a thorough pre-construction phase that identifies hidden conditions (especially in older homes), followed by a phased construction schedule with regular updates.
Hardwood floor refinishing in The Bronx typically costs $4–$8 per square foot for sanding and polyurethane finish, or $6–$10 per square foot with custom staining. A 1,000 sq ft apartment refinishing project averages $5,000–$10,000. We provide exact pricing after inspecting your floors.
A typical The Bronx apartment or home can be sanded and finished in 3–5 days, with an additional 2–3 days of drying time before furniture can be moved back. Water-based polyurethane dries faster (24 hours between coats) than oil-based (48 hours). We schedule around your timeline.
Solid ¾" hardwood floors can typically be refinished 4–6 times over their lifetime, depending on how aggressively they've been sanded. We measure remaining wood thickness before starting and advise on the best approach to preserve your floors' longevity.
Engineered hardwood with a wear layer of 2mm or more can usually be refinished once or twice. Thinner veneers may only tolerate screening (light abrasion) and recoating. We measure your wear layer and recommend the appropriate approach.
