Newfane is a quiet, rural town in northern Niagara County where farmland, rolling hills, and the Lake Ontario shoreline at Olcott create a landscape that feels a world apart from the Buffalo metro area, even though it is only about 40 miles to the northeast. With a population of roughly 9,200 across the full town and approximately 3,500 in the Newfane hamlet itself, this is a tight-knit community where homeowners know their neighbors and trust referrals over advertisements. Modern Flooring & Renovations WNY provides Newfane and Olcott homeowners with expert flooring installation, epoxy coating, and full kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovation services. Yes, we travel to Newfane, and we bring the same quality that has earned us a 4.9-star Google rating across 48+ reviews.
Newfane’s housing market is accessible, with median home values around $143,000 to $163,000 and a strong homeownership rate approaching 78 percent. Many properties sit on larger lots, and the mix of pre-war farmhouses, mid-century ranches, and 1980s-era builds means renovation needs vary significantly from one home to the next. What they share is an owner base that values straightforward work from a contractor who shows up, does the job right, and stands behind their results.
Why Newfane Homeowners Choose Modern Flooring & Renovations
Finding reliable contractors willing to travel to Newfane is a common frustration for homeowners here. Many Buffalo-area companies limit their service radius, leaving Newfane residents with fewer options.

Owner Sergiy Lupekha operates as an installation-only company, focusing entirely on craftsmanship rather than material markups, which helps Newfane homeowners get more value from their renovation budgets.
Newfane falls within the Newfane Central School District, and the community’s character reflects families who have chosen this area for its space, safety, and quality of life. The median age of about 47 years indicates established homeowners with properties they intend to maintain and improve over time. Our BBB listing and consistent Google reviews provide the kind of third-party validation that matters in a word-of-mouth community like Newfane.
Flooring & Renovation Services for Newfane and Olcott Homes
Residential Flooring Installation
Newfane’s housing stock spans multiple construction eras. Pre-war farmhouses and village homes may have original hardwood subfloors, plank foundations, or uneven surfaces that require careful preparation before new material can be installed. Mid-century ranches and colonials along Transit Road and Ewings Road feature more standardized construction with plywood subfloors. Newer builds from the 1980s and beyond typically have stable subfloors ready for direct installation. We handle all of these scenarios, installing hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile, and carpet throughout Newfane and Olcott properties.
Epoxy Flooring
Rural properties in Newfane frequently include larger garages, outbuildings, and workshop spaces where our three-layer epoxy system makes a significant difference. Diamond grinding, moisture-mitigating primer, decorative flake broadcast, and UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat create a surface that handles farm equipment, vehicles, road salt, and heavy use without showing wear. For homeowners along the Lake Ontario shoreline in Olcott, epoxy in garage and mudroom areas also provides a barrier against the additional moisture that comes with lakeside living.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in Newfane homes range from vintage farmhouse layouts with separate pantries and small work areas to more modern open-concept designs in newer construction. Our kitchen renovation service addresses each situation with appropriate flooring, tile work, countertop coordination, and layout improvements. Many Newfane homeowners are updating kitchens that have remained largely unchanged for decades, and these projects deliver some of the most dramatic transformations we complete.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom updates in Newfane homes frequently involve replacing outdated fixtures, installing modern tile, and addressing waterproofing deficiencies in homes built before current building standards. We install membrane waterproofing systems, custom tile showers, new vanities, and flooring designed to withstand the moisture demands of a bathroom environment. For Olcott homes near the lake, we pay particular attention to ventilation and moisture management given the elevated humidity levels.
Basement Remodeling
Basements in Newfane homes offer an opportunity to add significant living space at a reasonable cost. Whether you need a family room, a workshop, a guest area, or simply a clean and functional storage space, we handle moisture assessment, vapor barriers, flooring installation, and finish work. Epoxy is an especially practical choice for Newfane basements where occasional moisture migration is expected, providing a sealed, easy-to-clean surface without the risk of trapped moisture that carpet or traditional flooring can create.
Commercial Flooring
Newfane’s commercial activity along Route 78 (Transit Road) and in the village center includes restaurants, shops, and service businesses that need durable flooring solutions. We install commercial-grade LVP, tile, and epoxy for Newfane businesses seeking professional results from a contractor willing to serve the community.
Understanding Newfane's Homes and Community
Newfane covers roughly 52 square miles of Niagara County, making it one of the larger towns in the region by area but with a population density of fewer than 180 people per square mile. The landscape includes active farmland, apple orchards, tree farms, and the scenic hills that slope toward Lake Ontario at the Olcott shoreline. The hamlet of Olcott itself is a seasonal destination with its lakeside marina, fishing pier, and the shops and eateries that draw visitors during warmer months.
The median construction year for Newfane’s housing stock is 1955, though the range stretches from pre-1940s farmhouses and village homes to 1980s-era builds and a small number of newer properties. About 79 percent of housing is owner-occupied. The median household income of approximately $72,500 supports a homeowner base that invests steadily in property maintenance and improvement, and with home values remaining accessible compared to the Buffalo suburbs, renovation delivers a strong return on investment.
Lake Ontario’s influence on Newfane’s climate is worth noting for homeowners considering flooring and renovation decisions. The lake-effect moisture and the temperature variations between seasons are more pronounced in Newfane than in sheltered inland areas. These conditions make material selection especially important. Engineered hardwood and LVP handle the expansion and contraction cycles better than solid hardwood in many Newfane applications, and proper moisture management in basements and ground-level spaces is a priority for every project we complete here.
