Walkthrough Before We Start
Pre 1930 Belmont houses tend to have diagonal pine subfloors that cupped decades ago, so our lead walks each room first, chalks the low spots and decides where a plywood layer is needed.

Belmont pays $2.25/Sq Ft to have hardwood nailed down, cleats and underlayment folded into that figure. A Victorian on Concord Avenue and a Waverley two family read the identical number on their estimates.
Nail Down Installation
Raw red or white oak cleated over plywood and sanded in the room, $2.25/Sq Ft for the labor. Belmont Hill colonials pick this when the new floor must blend with 1920s oak in the next room.

Remeasure and Material Count
Cartons from Natick arrive, the Belmont rooms get taped a second time, reducers for each doorway are cut and a line is snapped along the longest wall ahead of the first cleat.

One Year Install Warranty
A year of coverage on the Belmont labor, plus the mill's warranty on the oak itself, so both the work and the wood are protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Board direction and pattern decide how a Belmont room reads. Each layout pictured here is in our crew's hands, from a straight run to parquet squares and a basket weave border.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows following the longest wall waste the least oak and stretch a narrow Waverley two family parlor toward its bay window.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards locked into a zigzag give a Belmont Hill Victorian dining room the woven floor its first owners knew.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows cut at 45 degrees meeting in a V, a pattern that fits the opened up kitchens in renovated Cushing Square homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal boards carry the eye corner to corner, so a compact front room by Belmont Center feels wider than its walls allow.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain turned every other block, parquet for a library in one of the older Belmont Hill estates.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under inside a walnut border, a floor still seen in the brick apartment houses along Trapelo Road in Waverley.
/ OUR SERVICES
Belmont Hardwood Flooring Installers
From the Natick store at 9 Cochituate St, our installers reach Belmont in about half an hour by way of Route 2 and Concord Avenue, and the same people stay on until the final transition is set. At this Belmont house the carpet came up, the pine subfloor was screwed flat, underlayment went down and white oak was nailed one row after another with room left at the walls for July swelling.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Belmont
Besides new oak, Belmont calls bring us to float vinyl plank in a damp lower level off Fresh Pond, lay laminate in a third floor playroom, recolor a worn hallway, swap one cracked board or rebuild a carpeted staircase.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain numbers on price, start dates and subfloor prep for a Belmont hardwood floor installation, near Fresh Pond or up by Belmont Center.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Belmont?
Nailing oak down in Belmont costs $2.25/Sq Ft, cleats and underlayment already in that number. With the wood bought through our Natick store, a Belmont living room comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished, and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
My Waverley two family has old pine under the carpet. Can oak go over it?
Usually. Screws pull the pine flat, plywood covers whatever cupped, and the new oak crosses the old boards at an angle so nothing flexes.
What goes over the slab in a Cushing Square garden level unit?
Floating engineered hardwood, glue in the joints and nothing driven into the concrete, at $2.00/Sq Ft for Belmont labor.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate in Belmont?
Yes. Belmont vinyl plank runs $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate $1.99/Sq Ft, underlayment in both, and waterproof LVP is our pick for a basement near Fresh Pond.
How soon can the wood reach my house?
Next day. The Natick warehouse on Cochituate St ships every morning, Belmont is about thirty minutes out, and acclimation starts as soon as the boxes are inside.
How much are new oak stair treads?
$60 per step in Belmont, covering the oak tread, riser, nosing, stain and the labor. Sound existing oak stairs are sanded and refinished for $50 per step.
When is payment due?
Belmont labor is settled the morning work starts and material when the boxes reach the house. Nothing is owed to hold a date.
What warranty do Belmont homeowners get?
A year on our labor, and the mill's warranty on the planks. Belmont installs are done by company employees who carry NWFA certification, insurance and a license.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Watertown, Arlington, Waltham, Cambridge and Medford sit minutes from Belmont Center, and oak goes down in all five at the Belmont figure.
Watertown two families often need a plywood layer over old pine before oak, so hardwood installation there starts with flattening.
Arlington colonials have solid oak cleated down at the $2.25/Sq Ft Belmont labor rate, with nails and underlayment inside it.
Waltham condos over slabs take engineered planks floated for $2.00/Sq Ft, since concrete cannot be nailed.
Cambridge owners go prefinished when the kitchen has to be usable the same night the installers leave.
Medford homes pull the carpet off their stairs and put oak treads on at $60 a step, colored to meet the hall above.
