Serving Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, West Village, Flatiron, and Hudson Yards
Chelsea is a dynamic neighborhood where pre-war townhouses sit alongside converted galleries, modern condo towers, and the iconic High Line. Renovations here range from townhouse gut renovations to sleek condo updates, with a design-forward sensibility shaped by the neighborhood's gallery district and creative community.
Lion Construction Management provides professional wood floor refinishing services throughout Chelsea and the surrounding Manhattan neighborhoods.

The Chelsea housing stock - primarily townhouses, pre-war walk-ups, and modern condominiums - presents unique opportunities and challenges for wood floor refinishing projects. Whether you're updating a single room or undertaking a complete transformation, Lion Construction Management has the experience to navigate Chelsea's specific requirements while delivering the quality and craftsmanship this neighborhood demands.
Manhattan renovation projects follow a structured process shaped by the borough's unique building requirements. After your initial consultation, Lion Construction Management prepares a detailed scope of work and submits your building's alteration agreement package - including architectural plans, insurance certificates, and a construction schedule that complies with your building's specific rules. Once your co-op or condo board approves the project (typically 3-6 weeks), we file for DOB permits and begin material procurement. Construction in Manhattan typically occurs between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays, with all materials delivered through freight elevators on a pre-arranged schedule. Our project managers conduct weekly walkthroughs with you, provide photo updates, and manage every trade to keep the work moving efficiently within your building's constraints. Final inspections, building sign-offs, and security deposit return coordination are all part of our close-out process.
Most wood floor refinishing projects in Chelsea take 8-14 weeks for a full renovation, though cosmetic updates can be completed in 4-6 weeks. Co-op and condo board approvals typically add 3-6 weeks before construction begins. Lion Construction Management provides a detailed timeline during pre-construction that accounts for building-specific scheduling constraints, material lead times, and inspection milestones.
Costs for wood floor refinishing in Chelsea vary based on scope, materials, and building requirements. Manhattan projects often include additional costs for building insurance, alteration agreement fees, and labor premiums for urban logistics.
