Meadowlands humidity, a delivery driver dropping boxes in the hall and a kid on a scooter. A hard finish on oak takes the abuse and keeps its sheen.

Cartons leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and reach Carlstadt with next-day delivery from Long Branch, which keeps the crew busy instead of waiting on freight.
Samples come to the house, so oak, engineered and prefinished boards sit against your own baseboards while you decide in the light your rooms really get.
Each floor has a one year labor warranty from us, and the boards come with the maker's coverage. The people on your floor are our own payroll employees.

Oak nailed over a flattened subfloor ends the hollow, creaky feel common in older two-family flats.

Floating engineered planks suit a basement den, where a slab below calls for a stable board that will not cup.

Second floor apartments with narrow stairwells are no obstacle, because our crew carries every carton up by hand.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive anchors boards over plywood in a ranch east of the rail yards.

A pale prefinished oak lifts the mood in a small Carlstadt dining room that gets only a little afternoon sun.

Delivery crews and trade traffic from nearby industrial blocks scuff entry floors, so a hard topcoat pays off in the foyer.



Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue and $2.00 for floated engineered. Buying our boards puts unfinished at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00 installed.
Yes, we can lay oak on either level and plan stair access and noise for the tenants. Tell us about the lease schedule at the estimate and we fit the work around it.
Solid oak is not the right choice below grade, but floated engineered plank works well at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We test for moisture before we recommend anything.
Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft and we haul the debris off. Loose boards and squeaks are fixed before the new floor is laid.
Scheduling the estimate online knocks $250 off. If you want the rooms emptied, furniture moving is a flat $250.
A pair of prefinished bedrooms in a Carlstadt flat is a two day job at most. Raw oak sanded and coated in the house needs closer to a week.
They come from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ. Orders arrive with next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Our own licensed and insured crew does the job, with no subcontractors involved. Workmanship is warranted for twelve months by us, while the oak mill stands behind the boards.
