Metro Flooring & Cabinets

East Harlem’s older apartment buildings often hide quiet upgrades behind their facades—new floors that muffle footsteps, cabinets that swallow clutter whole. Metro Flooring & Cabinets sits on Lexington Avenue where the street numbers tip into the 1600s, offering materials that make those transformations possible without moving walls or rewiring anything.

Flooring here isn’t just about planks and tiles; it’s about the way a room feels underfoot after the work is done. The shop stocks options that handle the neighborhood’s mix of pre-war charm and modern hustle, and the team brings samples directly to your doorstep if the subway ride with a swatch feels like too much. At 1620 Lexington Ave New York, NY 10029, the storefront is easy to spot between the bodega and the dry cleaner, though most customers end up seeing more of the showroom on wheels than the sidewalk display.

Cabinets follow a similar logic—measuring once, cutting twice, and installing so the kitchen or bathroom looks like it was always meant to be that way. The process starts with a phone call, and the number (646) 351-6865 rings through to someone who can schedule the on-site visit before the first tile sample is even pulled from the shelf.

Directions tend to be straightforward for anyone already navigating the 6 train, but for those coming from farther uptown or across the park, the map keeps the address anchored: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2f7ddfda09a89:0xb1254002f0f0c586.
