Expert wood floor installation services for Queens homes and businesses
New wood floor installation in Queens 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.
Queens is home to NYC's most varied housing stock - attached and semi-attached brick row houses in Astoria and Jackson Heights, detached Tudor and Colonial homes in Forest Hills and Bayside, waterfront luxury condos in Long Island City, and multi-family buildings throughout the borough. This diversity means renovation projects range from opening up compartmentalized pre-war floor plans to finishing basements, adding rear extensions, and converting garages into living space. Lion Construction Management brings versatility and trade depth to every Queens project - we have the crews, subcontractors, and experience to handle any building type the borough has.

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.
Queens renovation projects span the borough's diverse housing stock - from attached row houses in Astoria to detached colonials in Forest Hills and waterfront condos in Long Island City. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management tailors the approach to your building type and project scope. Detached homes often allow more flexibility - rear extensions, second-story additions, and major layout changes are common and generally straightforward from a permitting perspective. Row house renovations require attention to shared walls and neighborhood construction norms. We manage DOB permits, any required zoning analysis, and coordinate with your HOA or condo association if applicable. Expect detailed planning documents, a clear construction schedule, and regular communication throughout the project.
Hardwood floor installation in Queens 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 Queens 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.
