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