Expert wood floor installation services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
New wood floor installation in Brooklyn transforms the foundation of your living space - solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, wide plank, herringbone, and chevron patterns tailored to your home's style. Lion Construction Management installs wood flooring as part of larger renovation projects or as standalone transformations. We handle subfloor preparation, moisture testing, installation, and finishing - using nail-down, glue-down, or floating methods based on your building's construction and your flooring selection.
Brooklyn's building stock tells the story of over a century of New York architecture - from the brownstone rows of Park Slope and the limestone townhouses of Brooklyn Heights to the converted warehouses of DUMBO and Williamsburg and the pre-war apartment buildings that line Ocean Parkway. Renovation in Brooklyn often means restoring historic details - original plaster crown moldings, pocket doors, decorative fireplace mantels, and ornate stair balusters - while modernizing kitchens, bathrooms, and building systems. Lion Construction Management specializes in this balance of preservation and modernization that Brooklyn homeowners value.

Existing flooring is removed, subfloor is inspected, moisture-tested, leveled, and prepped for installation.
Hardwood is delivered and acclimated in your home for 3–7 days to reach equilibrium moisture content before installation.
Flooring is installed using the appropriate method - nail-down, glue-down, or floating - with staggered joints and tight seams.
Floors are sanded smooth, stained to your specification, and finished with three coats of polyurethane or hardwax oil.
Brooklyn renovation projects reflect the borough's architectural character - brownstone gut renovations, townhouse floor-through reconfigurations, and condo updates each follow different paths. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management develops a scope of work tailored to your building type. Brownstone renovations often require structural engineering for load-bearing wall modifications, LPC review if you're in a landmarked district, and DOB permits for any plumbing, electrical, or structural work. We manage brownstone-specific logistics: narrow stairway access requiring pre-cut materials, party-wall considerations with attached neighbors, and cellar-level waterproofing for below-grade spaces. Expect weekly check-ins, detailed photo documentation, and proactive communication about schedule and budget throughout the project.
Hardwood floor installation in Brooklyn ranges from $8–$14 per square foot for standard solid or engineered hardwood, to $15–$25+ per square foot for wide plank, herringbone, or premium species. A 1,000 sq ft installation project typically costs $10,000–$20,000 including materials and subfloor prep.
White oak is the most popular choice for Brooklyn homes - it's durable, takes stain beautifully, and works in both traditional and modern interiors. Walnut offers rich dark tones, maple provides a light contemporary look, and hickory delivers dramatic grain variation. We help you select based on style, traffic, and budget.
Yes - engineered hardwood is the best choice over radiant heat systems. It's dimensionally stable and can be glued directly to the heated subfloor. Solid hardwood is not recommended over radiant heat due to expansion and contraction issues. We select compatible products and installation methods.
Installation of 1,000 sq ft of hardwood flooring typically takes 3–5 days, plus 3–5 days for acclimation beforehand and 2–3 days for finishing afterward. Total project timeline is usually 2–3 weeks from material delivery to final coat. We coordinate flooring with your overall renovation schedule.
