Expert micro cement finishes services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
Micro cement finishes in Brooklyn deliver a contemporary, seamless aesthetic — continuous surfaces with no grout lines on floors, walls, countertops, showers, and built-in elements. Lion Construction Management applies micro cement as a specialty finish for clients seeking a modern, industrial-yet-refined look. Our applicators are trained in multi-layer systems that deliver consistent color, smooth or textured surfaces, and waterproof performance in wet areas. Micro cement works over existing substrates including tile, concrete, and drywall — often reducing demolition scope.
Brooklyn renovation permitting varies significantly by neighborhood and building type. Brownstone and townhouse renovations in landmarked districts like Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, and Fort Greene require Landmarks Preservation Commission approval for any exterior work and sometimes interior structural changes. Attached row houses share party walls with neighbors, which introduces structural considerations and party-wall agreements for any work that touches shared walls. Brooklyn co-ops and condos have their own alteration agreement processes, though typically less onerous than Manhattan. Lion Construction Management has filed hundreds of Brooklyn DOB permits and LPC applications — we know the neighborhood-specific requirements before work begins.

Specialty finishes in Brooklyn homes enhance the character of brownstone, townhouse, and loft spaces. Venetian plaster adds warmth and depth to parlor-floor walls. Wallpaper transforms brownstone bedrooms and dining rooms. Micro cement brings contemporary edge to converted warehouse lofts. Our specialty applicators understand the specific wall conditions found in Brooklyn's building stock — old plaster that needs stabilization before wallpaper application, brick walls that need furring and skim-coating before Venetian plaster, and concrete floors in loft conversions that need profiling before micro cement. Expect careful wall preparation (often 1-2 days before application begins), followed by meticulous application with proper cure times between coats.
When properly sealed, micro cement is water-resistant and suitable for showers, bathrooms, and wet areas. It's not submersion-proof like pool tile, but it performs excellently in residential and commercial wet environments with proper sealer application and maintenance.
Yes — micro cement can be applied directly over existing tile, concrete, wood, and other stable substrates without removal. This saves significant demolition time and cost, making it ideal for Brooklyn renovation projects where minimizing disruption matters.
Micro cement application in Brooklyn typically runs $25–$50 per square foot for floors and $20–$40 per square foot for walls, including surface preparation and sealing. A typical bathroom (80–120 sq ft) costs $3,000–$6,000. Large-format floor projects benefit from economies of scale.
Properly applied and sealed micro cement is highly durable — resistant to stains, water, and daily wear. It's used in restaurants, hotels, and high-traffic commercial spaces as well as residential bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas. We recommend resealing every 2–3 years for optimal performance.
