North Tonawanda is a city with deep roots along the Erie Canal, and its housing stock reflects over a century of residential development. With approximately 30,000 residents and more than 14,700 housing units, North Tonawanda represents one of the largest concentrations of homes in our service area that are ready for meaningful renovation. Modern Flooring & Renovations WNY provides North Tonawanda homeowners with expert flooring installation across hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, carpet, and epoxy, along with full kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovation services. Our showroom at 2120 Niagara Falls Blvd in Tonawanda is just minutes across the canal.
What defines North Tonawanda’s renovation market is the age of its homes. The median construction year is 1955, and more than a quarter of all housing was built before the 1940s. These are homes with real character, including hardwood floors hidden beneath layers of carpet, plaster walls with crown molding, and solid construction that has stood for generations. But decades of wear mean that kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring throughout these homes are overdue for professional updating. Median home values around $205,000 make renovation one of the smartest investments a North Tonawanda homeowner can make.

Flooring & Renovation Services for North Tonawanda Homes
Residential Flooring Installation
North Tonawanda homes span an enormous range of construction eras, from pre-war Victorians and Craftsman bungalows to post-war Cape Cods, ranches, and split-levels built through the 1960s. Each era presents different subfloor conditions. Older homes may have original hardwood beneath carpet that can be refinished, or subfloors that need leveling and repair before new material goes down. We install hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, tile, and carpet, and we assess each home’s specific conditions before recommending materials. For the many North Tonawanda homes with single-story layouts, consistent flooring throughout creates a dramatic visual transformation.
Epoxy Flooring
North Tonawanda garages, basements, and workshop spaces benefit from our signature three-layer epoxy system. The process begins with diamond grinding to prepare the concrete surface, followed by a moisture-mitigating primer, a decorative broadcast flake layer, and a UV-stable polyaspartic topcoat. For homeowners in the Tremont and Payne Avenue neighborhoods, where garages serve double duty as workshops and storage, epoxy provides a tough, easy-to-clean surface that resists oil, salt, and heavy use.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchens in North Tonawanda’s older homes were built for function, not flow. Enclosed layouts with limited counter space and dated cabinetry are common. Our kitchen renovation service addresses these limitations with modern flooring, updated tile work, new countertop coordination, and layout improvements. For homeowners near the Canal District and the revitalized Webster Street corridor, a modernized kitchen aligns with the investment the broader community is making in its housing stock.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom renovation in North Tonawanda frequently involves addressing decades of wear in homes built before modern waterproofing standards existed. We inspect subfloor integrity around tub and toilet bases, install proper waterproofing membrane systems, and build new tile showers, vanity areas, and flooring surfaces designed to last. Updated bathrooms are one of the highest-return improvements for North Tonawanda homes entering the resale market.
Basement Remodeling
North Tonawanda sits at the confluence of Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Canal, and basement moisture management is a serious consideration for many properties. Before any basement finishing work begins, we assess moisture conditions and recommend appropriate solutions, from vapor barriers to epoxy-sealed surfaces. For homes where conditions allow full basement finishing, we create comfortable living spaces with proper flooring, walls, and lighting that add usable square footage at a fraction of the cost of an addition.
Commercial Flooring
North Tonawanda’s commercial areas along Oliver Street, Niagara Falls Boulevard, and the revitalizing Canal District include restaurants, retail shops, professional offices, and light industrial spaces that require durable commercial flooring. We install commercial-grade LVP, tile, polished concrete, and epoxy systems designed for high foot traffic and heavy use.
Understanding North Tonawanda's Homes and Renovation Opportunities
North Tonawanda’s identity is inseparable from the Erie Canal. The city grew as a lumber town along the canal corridor, and the residential neighborhoods that developed from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century reflect that industrial heritage in their solid, no-nonsense construction. German, Polish, Italian, and Irish families built these homes to last, and the bones are often excellent even when surface finishes have aged past their useful life.
Approximately 69 percent of North Tonawanda’s housing units are owner-occupied, and the median household income is roughly $67,000. The city’s median age of 43 indicates a stable, working-age population with families established enough to invest in home improvements. The Canal Fest of the Tonawandas, one of the largest free outdoor events in Western New York, draws attention to the canalside neighborhoods every summer, and the city’s ongoing revitalization efforts have created real momentum in the local housing market.
For flooring professionals, North Tonawanda presents the opportunity to work with homes that have genuine architectural character. Restoring original hardwood in a Craftsman bungalow on Goundry Street, installing tile in a Cape Cod bathroom near Wurlitzer Park, or transforming a dated ranch kitchen along Ward Road into a modern open-concept space, every project here has the potential to make a visible, lasting difference in the home and the neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flooring & Renovations in North Tonawanda
We specialize in installation rather than refinishing, but we frequently encounter homes where original hardwood is hidden beneath carpet or vinyl. During your estimate, we will assess whether existing hardwood can be restored or whether new flooring installation is the better investment based on condition, species, and your goals for the space.
Proximity to Tonawanda Creek and the Erie Canal means many North Tonawanda basements experience seasonal moisture. We begin with a thorough moisture assessment and recommend solutions based on severity, ranging from vapor barriers and drainage improvements to our sealed epoxy flooring system, which creates a moisture-resistant surface without trapping water beneath the material.
Luxury vinyl plank is often an excellent choice for homes with subfloor irregularities because it is more forgiving of minor imperfections than hardwood. Engineered hardwood also works well when paired with proper underlayment and leveling compound. We evaluate your subfloor during the free estimate and recommend materials that will perform well with your specific conditions.
