Getzville sits at a unique crossroads in the Amherst area, combining established residential neighborhoods with the energy and growth that comes from being adjacent to the University at Buffalo North Campus. With a population of approximately 7,400 residents and a median household income exceeding $120,000, this community offers a mix of mid-century homes ready for renovation and newer construction reflecting the area’s continued desirability. Modern Flooring & Renovations WNY provides Getzville homeowners with expert flooring installation, epoxy coating, and full kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovation services. Our showroom at 2120 Niagara Falls Blvd in Tonawanda is less than ten minutes away.
What distinguishes Getzville from other communities in our service area is the housing diversity. Homes built during the 1960s and 1970s make up a significant portion of the housing stock, meaning many properties are entering the stage where original flooring, kitchens, and bathrooms need comprehensive updating. At the same time, the proximity to UB and the Transit Road commercial corridor keeps property values strong, with median home values around $370,000. Homeowners here are investing in renovations because the neighborhood rewards those improvements.
Why Getzville Homeowners Choose Modern Flooring & Renovations
Modern Flooring & Renovations operates as an installation-only company, which means we focus entirely on craftsmanship rather than material markups. Owner Sergiy Lupekha built this business around the understanding that proper installation is what separates a flooring job that lasts decades from one that develops problems within years. For Getzville homeowners renovating mid-century properties, this focus is especially important because older subfloors often need assessment and preparation that less experienced contractors skip.
Getzville falls within the Williamsville Central School District, one of the highest-rated districts in Western New York, which drives consistent demand for well-maintained homes. Whether you are a long-time resident updating a 1970s colonial or a UB faculty member renovating a recently purchased home near campus, our team delivers the same standard of work that has earned us a 4.9-star Google rating across 48+ reviews.
Flooring & Renovation Services for Getzville Homes
Residential Flooring Installation
Many Getzville homes feature the split-level, raised ranch, and colonial layouts popular during the 1960s-1970s building boom. These floor plans often include level changes, narrow hallways, and rooms that were originally carpeted wall-to-wall. Replacing aged carpet with hardwood, engineered hardwood, or luxury vinyl plank transforms these homes dramatically. We handle the subfloor leveling, transition strips between rooms at different heights, and stair installations that split-level layouts demand. For homeowners near Billy Wilson Park and the quieter residential streets east of Transit Road, updated flooring is frequently the first step in a larger renovation plan.
Epoxy Flooring
Getzville garages, basements, and home workshops benefit from our signature three-layer epoxy system. Diamond grinding prepares the concrete surface, followed by a moisture-mitigating primer, a decorative broadcast flake layer, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. This system creates a seamless, chemical-resistant floor that handles road salt, hot tires, and the temperature extremes of Western New York. For homeowners converting basement space into home gyms or recreation areas, epoxy provides a clean, durable surface that requires minimal maintenance.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in Getzville’s mid-century homes were typically designed as enclosed, galley-style spaces separated from dining and living areas. Modern renovation trends favor opening these kitchens to create a more connected layout. We coordinate the full scope of kitchen renovation including demolition of non-structural walls, new flooring installation, tile backsplash work, and countertop coordination. Getzville homeowners near the Boulevard Mall area and along Campbell Boulevard frequently reference design ideas from the retail and restaurant spaces nearby, and we help translate those inspirations into practical home kitchen designs.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathrooms in 1960s and 1970s homes often feature dated tile, single-piece tub-shower units, and limited storage. Our bathroom renovation service addresses all of these issues with modern tile installations, custom walk-in showers, vanity upgrades, and proper waterproofing using Schluter membrane systems. For Getzville’s older homes, we also inspect and address any subfloor deterioration around tub and toilet bases before installing new materials.
Basement Remodeling
Full basements are standard in Getzville homes, and many remain unfinished or feature original 1970s-era paneling and carpet. Finishing or refinishing these spaces adds significant living area and property value. We handle moisture testing, vapor barrier installation, framing, flooring, and finish work. Epoxy is an excellent basement flooring choice for Getzville homes where occasional moisture migration through the slab is a concern.
Commercial Flooring
The Transit Road corridor through Getzville supports professional offices, medical practices, and retail spaces that require durable commercial flooring. We install commercial-grade LVP, polished concrete, epoxy systems, and tile for businesses along this busy commercial strip and in the professional parks near UB North Campus.
Understanding Getzville's Homes and Renovation Landscape
Getzville’s housing stock tells a clear story of suburban growth during the post-war decades. The majority of homes were constructed between 1960 and 1980, built during a period when the University at Buffalo expanded to its North Campus location and families sought nearby suburban housing. These homes are solidly built but are now 45 to 65 years old, placing them squarely in the window where major systems and finishes need updating.
Approximately 66 percent of Getzville housing units are owner-occupied, with the remaining third reflecting the rental market driven by UB proximity. The median age of residents is about 49 years, indicating an established community of homeowners who have lived in their properties long enough to accumulate a list of renovation priorities. Homes in Getzville sell quickly, typically within 16 to 25 days, which motivates homeowners considering a sale to invest in visible upgrades like flooring and kitchen improvements.
The area around Billy Wilson Park, with its scenic walking trails and bridges over Ellicott Creek, represents some of Getzville’s most appealing residential streets. Homeowners in this pocket tend to invest in their properties at a higher level, recognizing that the neighborhood’s natural amenities and school district rating support strong long-term values. For these homes, we frequently complete whole-house flooring projects that create consistency from the entryway through the living areas, bedrooms, and finished basement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flooring & Renovations in Getzville
