Floor Sanding New Farm

New Farm showcases Brisbane’s most impressive collection of Art Deco buildings alongside Spanish Mission homes, 19th-century colonials, and modern riverside apartments. At Quality Floors by Max Francis, we’ve restored timber floors across this architectural spectrum for 30+ years, understanding the unique requirements of each era and style.

From Brunswick Street’s historic terraces to riverside apartments with city views, our QBCC-licensed team (#64691) delivers museum-quality floor restoration. Max Francis personally oversees every project, whether preserving 1880s parquet floors in heritage estates or refreshing timber in contemporary conversions near the Powerhouse arts precinct.

New Farm’s architectural timeline spans 140 years, requiring specialised knowledge for each period’s timber and construction methods. Our third-generation expertise ensures authentic restoration that respects your property’s heritage while meeting modern living standards.

New Farm’s 1920s-30s architectural gems – from EP Trewern’s Spanish Mission masterpieces to streamlined Art Deco apartments – feature distinctive timber work requiring period-specific techniques. We preserve geometric parquetry patterns, restore original ballroom floors, and maintain pressed-metal ceiling surrounds while applying finishes that protect against Brisbane’s subtropical climate.

Properties along Bowen Terrace and near New Farm Park face unique challenges from Brisbane River flooding. Following the 2011 floods that affected half of New Farm Park, we’ve become specialists in moisture damage assessment, proper drying techniques, and applying water-resistant finishes that protect your investment while maintaining authentic character.

Operating since 1982, we’ve witnessed New Farm’s transformation from industrial riverside to Brisbane’s most densely populated inner suburb. Kyle Francis (third generation) and Shannon (apprenticed 2008) work alongside Max on every project, bringing combined expertise to your floors whether in a converted workers’ cottage, heritage-listed villa, or modern apartment complex.

From Merthyr Road’s grand estates to James Street boutiques, we navigate New Farm’s varied terrain with professional equipment and dust-controlled systems. With over 70% of New Farm properties being apartments or units, we coordinate seamlessly with body corporates, respect heritage restrictions, and work efficiently in high-density settings. Our 2-3 day completion ensures minimal disruption whether you’re near Holy Spirit School, the CityCat terminal, or Brunswick Street’s café precinct.

New Farm’s position as Brisbane’s architectural showcase demands floor restoration that honours its heritage. Our comprehensive services include preserving original parquet patterns, restoring decorative borders, repairing water damage, and applying appropriate finishes from traditional shellac to modern polyurethane systems. We specialise in matching existing timber species – from 1890s silky oak to contemporary spotted gum installations.

Our industrial dust extraction protects your valuable artwork and period features, while transparent per-square-metre pricing ensures no surprises. As ATFA members (#98), we follow best practices for timber floor restoration, delivering results that enhance your property’s value in this premium Brisbane location.
