Expert wood floor refinishing services for Staten Island homes and businesses
Wood floor refinishing in Staten Island 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.
Staten Island's suburban character sets it apart from every other borough — larger lots, detached homes, private driveways, and a residential scale that allows for renovation projects rarely possible in the rest of NYC. From the estate-sized homes of Todt Hill and Emerson Hill to the waterfront colonials of Great Kills and the Victorian gems of St. George, Staten Island homeowners often undertake ambitious projects: full-home additions, master suite buildouts, outdoor kitchens and living spaces, finished basements with walk-out access, and garage conversions. Lion Construction Management brings the project management rigor and trade network of a top NYC firm to Staten Island's residential landscape.
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.
Staten Island renovation projects often take advantage of the borough's larger homes and lot sizes — additions, extensions, full-floor master suites, and outdoor living spaces are common projects that would be impossible in denser boroughs. After your consultation, Lion Construction Management assesses your property for renovation potential, including zoning analysis for additions (most Staten Island lots are in R1-R3 zones with specific FAR and setback requirements). We manage DOB permits, any required FEMA compliance for flood-zone properties, and coordinate structural engineering for additions. Expect a comprehensive pre-construction phase covering site survey, zoning review, design coordination, and detailed cost estimating before construction begins.
Hardwood floor refinishing in Staten Island 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 Staten Island 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.
