Walkthrough Before We Start
Mulch tracked in from the garden, a retriever shaking off after the reservoir trail and a hockey bag dropped at the door. Oak under a hard finish handles the whole routine.

Wood is stocked at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings it up your hillside driveway so the install stays on schedule.
We bring oak, hickory and prefinished samples to the house and set them beside your cabinets and windows, so the color you choose is the color you live with.
Every floor has one year of labor warranty, and the lumber has the maker's own coverage. Our crew is on our payroll, and no job goes to a subcontractor.

Wide foyers take the heaviest traffic, so the oak goes in with a hard satin finish and tight, even joints.

A walkout lower level is laid with floating planks over a moisture barrier, with a pad that keeps the room warm.

Long driveways and half flights of stairs in a split level are no trouble, since the crew hand carries every carton to the room.

Nail and glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive and holds boards firmly over the plywood of a newer addition.

A mid tone hickory in a family room off the kitchen hides crumbs and handles the daily traffic well.

Mudrooms that meet wet snow boots get a hard coat so melted slush wipes up without clouding the finish.



Labor starts at $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, then $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail and glue, then $2.00/Sq Ft for floated engineered planks. When the wood comes from us, raw oak lands at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00/Sq Ft.
It adds detail work, but the per foot rates stay the same. Landings and half flights are measured and cut at the visit.
Floating engineered planks over a moisture barrier are the safe choice, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. The slab is tested at the estimate before we recommend a product.
We do, at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, hauling the old material off ourselves. Squeaks and soft spots are repaired before new boards go down.
An estimate booked on the site takes $250 off. If you want furniture shifted, we do it for a flat $250.
Prefinished rooms usually take one or two days. Unfinished oak that is sanded and coated in place takes closer to a week.
Boxes come from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch follows your order.
Our own employees, never subcontractors, with a year of labor warranty plus the manufacturer's coverage on the wood.
