Walkthrough Before We Start
Farmhouses and lake cottages in Ashburnham settle over the decades, so the lead installer starts in the cellar, reads the joists, locates every hump above them and only then chooses the direction the oak will run.

Licensed, Insured Installation
Nobody kneeling on an Ashburnham subfloor is a subcontractor. The installers draw a Brazil Floors paycheck, carry NWFA certification, licensing and insurance, and answer the phone themselves when you call about the job.

Remeasure and Material Count
The first morning in Ashburnham is spent measuring every room a second time, carrying cartons to the door and cutting the transitions for each threshold, so once the nailer starts it does not stop for missing pieces.

One Year Install Warranty
Our Ashburnham labor is backed for twelve months, and the wood keeps whatever warranty the mill gives it. Should a plank lift or a squeak appear in year one, the crew that installed it comes back and makes it right.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight runs, diagonals, herringbone and chevron, parquet squares, basket weave: every pattern is available in Ashburnham, and a border or inlay gets priced once we have stood in the room with you.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards running with the longest wall of a South Ashburnham living room produce the least scrap and draw the eye toward the woodstove.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone stacks short boards at right angles into a zigzag, fitted one piece at a time. It gives an Ashburnham farmhouse dining room a formal look.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron miters each board end so every row closes in a point. Open kitchens in the newer colonials near Cushing Academy ask for it most.
Diagonal Hardwood
A 45 degree diagonal pulls the eye from corner to corner, and a compact cottage kitchen on Upper Naukeag Lake reads larger than its footprint.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares alternate grain direction in a grid, a formal choice for a study in one of the older houses near Ashburnham center.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave laces short oak pieces over and under within a darker border, a crafted entry for a hilltop colonial looking toward the Wapack Trail.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Ashburnham
The drive from our Natick store at 9 Cochituate St to Ashburnham takes about an hour, and the installers who make it stay on your job until the last threshold is set. In this farmhouse off Route 12 the crew lifted old carpet, found pine boards underneath, laid fresh underlayment, cleated oak across the kitchen and front rooms and left the wood space to breathe behind every baseboard.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Ashburnham
Beyond new oak, Ashburnham families bring us back for vinyl plank in the walkout, laminate in the bunk room over the garage, a sanding of the original farmhouse boards, a darker stain, a split plank by the woodstove or oak treads up to the second floor.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
How much per foot, when the crew can make the drive up and which rooms to clear out: Ashburnham callers settle those three first, and the answers for your house follow.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Ashburnham?
Nailing it down is $2.25/Sq Ft in Ashburnham, cleats and underlayment included. Buy the oak from us too and unfinished comes to $5.50/Sq Ft installed, prefinished to $6.00/Sq Ft.
Our farmhouse has carpet over the old floors. Do you handle that?
We do. Pulling it up costs around $1.00/Sq Ft and the debris rides back to Natick with us. When sound old boards turn up under the carpet we say so, because sanding them may cost less than new oak.
Does the hour from Natick change anything?
Only our start time. The Ashburnham crew leaves early, works a full day and the same installers return each morning until the floor is done.
Can oak go in our walkout basement?
Engineered oak can, solid cannot. Engineered planks float on foam with glued seams for $2.00/Sq Ft, the slab stays undrilled, and we meter it for moisture before anything is ordered.
How soon does the wood get to Ashburnham?
Next day. The truck leaves Natick in the morning and is in your Ashburnham driveway by midday, after which solid oak rests a few days indoors before the cleats go in.
Who moves the furniture?
You can, or we handle it for a flat $250, moving everything out ahead of the install and back once the finish is dry. Woodstoves, pianos and gun safes come up at the Ashburnham estimate.
When is payment due?
The oak is paid for when the boxes land in your Ashburnham driveway and the labor the morning the crew arrives to start. Nothing is owed to hold a date.
What happens if a board lifts after the first heating season?
Call 508-306-4190 and the installers who laid your Ashburnham floor come back. Labor is covered for a year, and the mill's warranty on the wood sits on top of it.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Once the truck has climbed Route 12 into Ashburnham, Ashby, Gardner, Westminster, Fitchburg and Winchendon are all a short hop, so those five towns see the same hardwood labor rate.
Ashby farmhouses get solid oak over plywood at the $2.25/Sq Ft Ashby labor rate, cleats and underlayment at no extra cost.
Gardner basements get engineered planks on foam at $2.00/Sq Ft, and nothing is ever drilled into a Gardner slab.
Westminster families like prefinished oak because it arrives sealed, and with material the Westminster price is $6.00/Sq Ft installed.
Fitchburg two families pick unfinished hardwood, $5.50/Sq Ft with the wood, and the Fitchburg crew sands and coats it after it is down.
Winchendon owners after wide boards get them cleated plus glued, $2.50/Sq Ft and the adhesive, so Winchendon planks lie flat through a humid summer.
