Boards Matched to Yours
Red oak strip in common widths is under most Ashburnham roofs, so a bundle lives on the truck, and stain goes on in thin layers until the new boards stop announcing themselves.

The Ashburnham estimate costs nothing. A moisture meter goes on the boards, the joists get a look from the cellar, and you see exactly which boards must come out and which can stay.
Old Ashburnham framing means squeaky halls and gaps along the radiators. Screws driven from above stop the squeak, and filler tinted to match the oak packs the seams.
Twelve months of labor coverage comes with every Ashburnham repair, and the installers who do it are licensed, insured and NWFA trained.



It depends on how many strips failed and why. In Ashburnham the starting point is $150, and the free visit ends with a written quote that does not change later.
Rarely. The Ashburnham crew dries the floor, logs meter readings over several days and replaces only the boards that will not flatten back out.
Usually. We look at the Ashburnham floor from the cellar and again from the room above, dry everything and change just the strips that stay damaged.
Yes. Most Ashburnham farmhouses, capes and colonials have the same red oak strip, so a bundle lives on the truck, and the stain goes on in layers until the new boards match.
Small screws go down through the Ashburnham floor into the framing, and tinted putty fills the holes so they disappear.
Yes. Radiator and woodstove heat shrinks those Ashburnham boards, so the seams get packed with a tinted filler that holds up through the seasons.
Usually within the week, and a small Ashburnham patch is cut, set and coated before the crew heads back down Route 12.
Yes. Twelve months on the labor, done by licensed, insured, NWFA trained Ashburnham installers.
