Whoever is setting planks in your farmhouse is NWFA certified, holds a state license, is covered by insurance and works on our payroll. We never send outside crews.

Remeasure and Material Count
On install day, measurements get double checked. Door jambs are undercut, transitions planned at each threshold, and planks acclimate inside to match Berkshire humidity.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind our install labor for twelve months. The mill that made the wood adds its own warranty too.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A layout shifts the mood of a room more than color does. We install straight rows, herringbone, chevron, diagonals and parquet.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Straight rows run the length of the space, an efficient layout that keeps waste low.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short slats set in a staggered zig zag, a classic choice for a study.
Chevron Hardwood
Angled slats meeting in a point, steering the eye toward a window.
Diagonal Hardwood
Rows laid at forty five degrees from corner to corner, making a narrow room seem roomier.
Checkerboard Parquet
Little square tiles that alternate grain direction, forming a neat checker pattern.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of slats turning at each square, a basket weave look that suits a farmhouse den.
/ OUR SERVICES
Alford Hardwood Flooring Installers
Homes along Green River Valley Road and up on West Road range from 1800s farmhouses to newer timber frames with big Taconic views. Each one gets a moisture reading, a level subfloor and planks laid square to the longest wall, so the rows look straight from the mudroom to the back porch.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow is hardwood installation priced in Alford?
Solid wood nailed down costs $2.25/Sq Ft, which already covers fasteners and the paper beneath. Cleats plus adhesive cost $2.50/Sq Ft and the glue, and floating engineered planks are $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you drive all the way out to Alford?
Yes. Route 71 and the back roads off Green River Valley Road are part of our regular service area, and delivery from the Coventry warehouse usually arrives the next day.
Can you install over an uneven farmhouse floor?
Usually. We check the joists, sister or shim where needed and flatten the subfloor so new planks lie tight. That prep is quoted at the free visit.
Can you supply the wood too?
Yes. Unfinished oak with installation runs $5.50/Sq Ft, and prefinished planks with labor are $6.00/Sq Ft, shipped from Coventry next day.
How long should new wood sit before install?
It acclimates inside the house for several days. Berkshire summers are humid and winters dry, so letting the planks adjust helps prevent gaps and cupping.
Who shows up to do the installing?
NWFA certified installers who are our own licensed, insured employees. We don't send subcontractors to Alford or anywhere else.
When is payment due for an install?
Crew labor gets settled the morning installers pull in. For lumber ordered through us, payment happens once the truck unloads. Pulling up carpet or tile first adds about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Will you beat another quote?
Yes. Show us a lower written estimate from a licensed company and we'll beat it, without cutting corners on subfloor prep or acclimation time.
