LUXE Gold List

Jan / Feb 2026 — NY Edition

Three kinds of project,

one studio's discipline.

Most of our work falls into three categories. Each carries its own building constraints, material expectations, and procurement protocols. Click through to see how we approach each.

— Select a project type —
— New residential builds and full renovations

Brooklyn's new residential builds — wide-plank European oak, installed properly.

Park Slope renovations, Williamsburg loft conversions, Cobble Hill new builds. The work is largely engineered European oak in wide-plank, often with herringbone or chevron in entry foyers and dining rooms. We coordinate with the GC from the start so the floor goes in at the right point in the schedule — not at the end when there's no flex left.

  • Engineered European oak, wide plank 7″–10″
  • Glue-down over concrete or plywood
  • Compatible with radiant heat where specified
  • Coordination with general contractors and project managers
— Brownstone refinishing and replacement

The wood floors that Brooklyn was built on.

Most Brooklyn brownstones still have their original solid hardwood floors — typically 2¼″ oak, plain-sawn, installed when the buildings went up. Some need refinishing. Some need replacement of damaged boards. Some need a complete floor-up rebuild after a kitchen renovation. We do all three.

  • Full sand-and-refinish of original solid hardwood
  • Board replacement and spot repair
  • Site-finished new installations matching original
  • Color matching to existing trim and millwork
— Refinishing, repair, and installation

Full-service hardwood, from sanding to install.

The studio is not just a showroom — we also operate as a full-service installation and refinishing team for Brooklyn homes. That means one phone call gets you the material selection, the subfloor prep, the installation, the finishing, and the long-term maintenance check-ins.

  • New hardwood, vinyl, and laminate installation
  • Sanding and refinishing of existing hardwood
  • Color changes, screen-and-recoat, spot repair
  • Dust-controlled equipment and low-VOC finishes
Standards

Quality flooring,

done properly.

The principles we hold ourselves to — straightforwardly stated. Brooklyn homeowners deserve the same caliber of work that the design trade gets, with the same level of care for the buildings we work in.

— 01 —

Materials that last.

We carry hardwood, vinyl, and laminate from the manufacturers we’d specify in our own homes. No bargain-basement material, no white-label seconds — just floors we know hold up over time.

— 02 —

Installation you can trust.

An experienced in-house installation team that does this work every day — not subcontractors hired for the project. The same people who help you choose the material in the showroom are the people who install it in your home.

— 03 —

Guidance from start to finish.

From the first phone call through the final walk-through, one studio team is responsible for the project. No handoffs, no “that’s not our scope” surprises, no finger-pointing when something needs to be made right.

Gold List Issue
In the Press

As featured in LUXE Interiors + Design.

January / February 2026 — Gold List Issue, New York Edition

Floorika Fine Hardwood was featured in LUXE Interiors + Design — the magazine of record for luxury residential architecture and design across the country’s most significant markets. The Gold List places the studio alongside the architects, designers, and craftspeople defining New York’s high-end residential landscape.

The issue includes a conversation with the founder on material-led specification, the value of curation over breadth, and the studio’s approach to project-based work in a category dominated by retail showrooms.

— A Conversation with the Founder
Our Philosophy

The flooring studio your neighbors use.

Most flooring companies treat Brooklyn as a place they pick up jobs. We treat it as the place we live and work.

Floorika opened on 4th Avenue because we wanted the studio to be in the same neighborhoods as our clients — close enough to walk to projects in Park Slope and Cobble Hill, a short drive to anywhere else in the borough. The team knows the building stock and how each one wants to be installed.

We work with homeowners, designers, builders, and renovators across all of Brooklyn — and we treat each project like a referral that has to lead to the next one. That’s the model we’ve operated on for over a decade.

Service Area

Across Brooklyn — our home borough.

The studio is on 4th Avenue in Park Slope, a short ride from any neighborhood in the borough. We’ve worked in just about all of them, and the team knows the building stock — brownstones, lofts, post-war apartments, new construction — and how each one wants to be installed.

Considerations.

Frequently Asked.

Yes — most of our Brooklyn brownstone work is refinishing. Original solid hardwood from the 1800s and early 1900s typically has plenty of life left in it; a full sand-and-refinish brings it back to better-than-new. Most projects take 4 to 6 days, with the home livable through most of it.

Yes. We work in Brooklyn co-ops and condos every week and handle the typical board requirements — sound transmission ratings (STC/IIC), insurance and indemnification, work hour compliance, alteration agreements. We provide all documentation the board requires.
Yes. For multi-family buildings, we coordinate directly with the super, the managing agent, or the building manager — freight elevator scheduling, debris removal, protective measures, and any building-specific protocols. You don't manage that handoff yourself.
In most cases, yes. We can match site-finished hardwood to existing flooring, custom-stain to match trim and millwork, and source specific species or cuts to extend an existing floor. Bring a photo (or better, a board) to the showroom and we'll go from there.
From first call to install start: typically 4 to 8 weeks for refinishing, 6 to 10 weeks for new installation. Walkthroughs are typically scheduled the same week we hear from you. Written estimates follow in less than 24 hours after the walkthrough. For occupied homes, we work around your schedule and try to keep at least one bedroom usable through the project.
Yes — full-size sample boards for in-showroom selection, plus take-home samples so you can see the color in your home's actual lighting. For refinishing projects, we test stain samples on hidden patches of your floor before committing to the final color.
In-house. Our installation team has installed and refinished thousands of Brooklyn floors. We do not sub it out. The same team that helps you choose the material does the work in your home.
