Walkthrough Before We Start
Decades of fog and shut-up winters twist island framing. Before any box opens, the lead installer walks every room with a straightedge and a meter, marks the low spots and settles which way the boards will run.

Licensed, Insured Installation
The installer you meet is on our payroll, not hired for the day. Every one of them holds an NWFA certificate, a state license and insurance that follows them onto the ferry.

Remeasure and Material Count
Install day opens with a second tape check. The boxes get counted against the plan, each doorway gets its transition piece set aside and the first row is snapped before the compressor fires.

One Year Install Warranty
For twelve months after the last board is nailed, any workmanship issue is ours to correct. The mill's own warranty covers the wood itself.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Board direction and pattern decide how a room feels. Our Aquinnah crew installs straight runs, diagonals, herringbone, chevron and parquet, with any border priced at the walkthrough.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards running with the long wall cut waste and lead the eye out toward the water in a narrow cottage room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at right angles form a zigzag that gives a dining room on State Road a hand-built character.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends meeting in a continuous V suit a renovated open kitchen on the Wampanoag Tribal Lands.
Diagonal Hardwood
Rows set at 45 degrees carry the eye across a compact bedroom near Moshup Trail and loosen a boxy footprint.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain rotated square by square, a formal floor beneath the table in a summer house with cliff views.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips laced over and under, often ringed by a darker band, give a study or entry near Moshup Trail a handmade look.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers Serving Aquinnah
Our truck leaves the Natick warehouse early, boards the ferry and the crew stays on the island until the last transition is set. At this cottage near the Gay Head Cliffs they pulled worn carpet, screwed down loose plywood, rolled underlayment and nailed white oak wall to wall, leaving room at the edges for August swelling.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Work Across Aquinnah
While the crew is on the island they can also float vinyl plank in a lower level, lock laminate into a bedroom, resand an old hallway, tint a floor to a new shade, patch a damaged spot or rebuild the stairs.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Island owners want three things settled before a ferry date is booked: the price, the calendar and which rooms to clear. Straight answers for Aquinnah homes follow.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does it cost to install hardwood in Aquinnah?
$2.25/Sq Ft covers nail down labor, and the nails and underlayment ride inside it. Add wood from our warehouse and you land at $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished, installed.
Does being on the island change the price?
The per foot rate is the same one we charge on the mainland. The ferry crossing goes into the schedule, not onto your invoice, and the estimate you sign is what you pay.
Will the salt air bother a solid oak floor?
Only if the wood is rushed. The oak rests in the house a few days, both planks and plywood are metered, and a gap at the walls gives the boards room when fog rolls in.
Which wood belongs over a slab in a cliffside house?
Engineered hardwood, floated on a pad with glued tongues for $2.00/Sq Ft. Nothing penetrates the concrete and the surface still reads as real oak.
How do the boards get to Aquinnah?
On our own truck, out of Natick the morning after you order, then across on the Steamship Authority boat. The crew is timed to arrive right behind the material.
Can you clear out a cottage before the work?
Yes. Furniture goes out and back for a flat $250, and an old floor comes up for about $1.00/Sq Ft, with the debris riding off on our truck.
When is payment due on an island job?
Labor comes due when the crew arrives, and the wood when the cartons are carried in. Reserving a ferry date costs nothing up front.
Who fixes a problem after the season?
The same crew that installed it. Our labor warranty runs twelve months, the mill covers the oak, and 508-306-4190 brings a licensed, insured installer back over.
