Material is stocked at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts the boxes at your Caldwell door while the crew is ready.
Our samples travel to your house, where oak, engineered and prefinished boards sit against your trim and the light from your own windows before you decide.
Labor is covered for one year after we finish, and the boards keep the maker's warranty. Every job is done by our own payroll crew, never by subcontractors.

Red oak nailed across a leveled subfloor keeps a colonial hallway from creaking under daily traffic.

Engineered boards float over the slab in a finished basement, with a pad that softens footsteps and noise.

Narrow Cape Cod entries and tight turns are fine, since our crew carries every bundle in by hand.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards over plywood in a split level with a raised kitchen.

A pale prefinished oak brightens a Tudor living room that has small leaded windows and limited daylight.

Caldwell labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00 for floated engineered boards. Supplying the boards ourselves brings the job to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
Yes, once the subfloor is fastened and low spots are leveled. We note the problem areas at the free estimate so the quote is complete.
Engineered boards floated over a pad are the safer choice below grade, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We test the slab for moisture before ordering anything.
Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft and we haul the debris away. Loose nails and soft spots are dealt with before new boards go down.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. Moving furniture is a flat $250 if you would rather not lift it.

They sit in our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and ship with next-day delivery from Long Branch once you place the order.
Our own licensed, insured crew, never subcontractors, and the work carries a one year labor warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on the wood.
