5.0from 12 Google reviews
Flooring sets the tone of every room. In East Village's older homes - brownstones, walk-ups, pre-war condos - original hardwood floors are often hiding under carpet, paint, or decades of finish. Refinishing them brings back the original character at a fraction of the cost of new flooring.
We do every type of residential flooring: refinishing existing hardwood, installing new hardwood (solid and engineered), tile floors for kitchens and bathrooms, vinyl plank for basements and rentals, and laminate where it's the right call. We tell you honestly which option fits your space and budget.

Real flooring projects in Manhattan
“Sam and the team replaced the hardwood floor in our East Village apartment after a building pipe issue caused water damage. They handled everything — moving the HVAC, the water heater, sourcing matching wood. Honest, professional, and went above and beyond to coordinate with the building. Best contractor experience I've had in the city.”
