Expert wood floor refinishing services for Brooklyn homes and businesses
Wood floor refinishing in Brooklyn 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.
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.
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.
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 refinishing in Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.
