Hardwood Flooring Services on the Upper East Side

Hudson Floors has spent more than two decades laying, sanding and reviving wood floors on the Upper East Side and across Manhattan. Every building in this neighborhood has its own quirks. We work regularly in pre-war co-ops, white-glove condos and townhouses, from the blocks around Museum Mile, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Carl Schurz Park to the streets bordering Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill and Midtown East.

For interior designers specifying a finish, we handle the building approvals, keep common areas covered and clean, and finish with a floor built to last.

FAQs About Flooring on the Upper East Side

Do you serve the Upper East Side?

Yes. Hudson Floors works on the Upper East Side regularly, along with Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill and Midtown East. Call (973) 560-0090 to check availability for your address.

Can you meet my building's insurance requirements?

We carry $5M liability coverage, which satisfies the certificate of insurance requirements at most co-ops, condos and managed buildings on the Upper East Side. We issue the COI naming your building, managing agent and owner before work begins.

How long does refinishing take in an occupied apartment?

Most single-room refinishes take two to three days including cure time, and a full apartment usually runs four to seven days. We use dust-containment equipment, so you can often stay in the unit for part of the job.

Should I refinish or replace my floors?

If the boards are solid and have wear layer left, refinishing is generally the better investment — common in the pre-war buildings on the Upper East Side. We will tell you honestly which one your floor needs at the estimate, even when replacement is the smaller job.

Do you handle the co-op or condo board approval process?

Yes. We are used to alteration agreements, COIs and building rules in pre-war co-ops, white-glove condos and townhouses. Send us your managing agent’s contact and we will deal with the paperwork directly.

What are your working hours in buildings with restrictions?

Typical building rules permit work from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday. We plan around your building’s rules and the service elevator schedule so the job stays on track.

How much does hardwood flooring cost on the Upper East Side?

Pricing depends on square footage, species, the condition of the subfloor and access to the unit. Refinishing usually comes in well below a full replacement. We give a written estimate after seeing the space, with no obligation.

How soon can you start?

Scheduling depends on the time of year, but we can normally schedule an estimate on the Upper East Side within a few days. Call (973) 560-0090 and we will give you a realistic start date.

Do you install over radiant heat or concrete subfloors?

Yes. Engineered planks are normally the correct choice over radiant heat or concrete, because it stays more dimensionally stable. We test moisture before installing either way.

Can you match new flooring to my existing floors?

In many cases, yes. It comes down to wood species, board width, stain colour, age and finish. We review the space and recommend the closest approach during your consultation.
