Remeasure and Material Count
Day one begins with tape measures. Every room gets a count, and cartons, trim and transitions are staged near the door before the first row goes down.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind our labor for a full year, and the oak carries the mill warranty on top. If something moves, we come back and fix it.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We lay straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns across Canterbury, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Period houses by the Green suit herringbone, while newer builds often go chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running boards down the length of the room cuts waste and makes a tight hallway look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a zigzag at right angles, cut one at a time. It echoes the early floors in the old homes around the Green.
Chevron Hardwood
Each row is mitered so the seam forms a tidy V down the center, a good fit for open plans.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set at 45 degrees pull the eye across the room and make a small cape on Library Road feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain alternating, in the parquet tradition. Lovely in a sitting room on Westminster Road.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often finished with a darker border. It suits the front rooms of older Canterbury colonials.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Canterbury?
Nail down installation costs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, nails and underlayment included. Buy the oak through us and the package comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you lay new oak over an old farmhouse subfloor?
Yes, once the crew has checked it. Soft or uneven spots are fastened or built up first, and then the oak is nailed down tight.
Which floor works in a basement slab?
Floating engineered hardwood. Planks lock over padding with glue in each seam, so nothing is nailed into the concrete, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate?
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank labor and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate. Vinyl is the better call for damp mudrooms and cellars.
How soon can the material arrive?
The next day from our Milford warehouse. Once the boxes are at the house, the crew can start almost immediately.
What do new oak stair treads cost?
A new tread is $60, with riser, nosing and stain. If your stairs have good wood left, refinishing them runs $50 per step.
How and when do I pay?
The crew is paid on arrival and the material is paid as boxes come off the truck. Any sanding is billed half at the start and half once the last coat is on.
What warranty comes with the installation?
Our labor is warrantied for one year and the planks carry the manufacturer warranty. Licensing, insurance and NWFA certification come with every person we send.
