Common Questions

Hardwood Flooring NYC — FAQ

Hardwood flooring installation in NYC costs $8–$20 per square foot for materials and labor combined. New solid hardwood installation typically runs $12–$20/sq ft, engineered hardwood $8–$15/sq ft, and floor refinishing $4–$8/sq ft. Total project costs depend on room size, wood species, subfloor condition, and stain selection. Dream Build Construction provides free written estimates — call 929-842-1717.
New hardwood floor installation in a typical NYC apartment (500–1,000 sq ft) takes 2–5 days for installation plus 1–2 days for finishing coats and drying time. Full floor refinishing takes 3–5 days including sanding, staining, and 2–3 coats of finish. Dream Build Construction provides exact timelines in every written estimate before work begins.
After the final coat of finish, hardwood floors typically need 24 hours before light foot traffic and 72 hours before furniture is moved back. Full cure takes 7–30 days depending on the finish type. Dream Build Construction uses water-based polyurethane for faster dry times and lower VOC odor — typically ready for light traffic in 24 hours and furniture in 72 hours.
For most NYC apartments and brownstones, engineered hardwood is often the better choice — it handles humidity fluctuations better, can be installed over radiant heat systems and on-grade or below-grade subfloors, and can be refinished 2–3 times over its life. Solid hardwood is ideal for ground-floor rooms and spaces with stable humidity. Dream Build Construction helps you select the right wood for your specific space during the free consultation.
