The Bronx, NY
Flooring for Bronx apartment buildings, houses and rentals
Modern Wood Flooring is a flooring showroom at 446 Avenue P in Brooklyn, open since 2002, supplying property managers, landlords, contractors and homeowners in the Bronx. Much of the Bronx is prewar and postwar apartment buildings on concrete, where durable vinyl plank or engineered wood is usually the practical choice; houses in neighborhoods like Riverdale and Throgs Neck often suit hardwood.
Our showroom at 446 Avenue P is about 17 miles from The Bronx. Get directions or call (718) 252-6177 and we’ll pull samples before you arrive.
Homes and buildings in The Bronx
The Bronx has a large stock of prewar elevator and walk-up apartment buildings, many of them rentals, plus co-ops and newer construction. These sit on concrete slabs.
Detached and attached houses, from Riverdale to the East Bronx, are mostly wood-framed and can take nail-down hardwood.
What to plan for
- Unit turnovers
- Property managers replacing floors between tenants usually standardize on one or two durable vinyl plank colors so repairs and reorders are simple.
- Concrete slabs
- Vinyl plank floats over most flat slabs; engineered wood can be glued or floated. Both need a flat, dry slab.
- Building requirements
- Larger buildings may require insurance paperwork and scheduled access for deliveries and work.
