/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
An upstairs flat in a two-family, a Cape Cod with a finished attic and a basement apartment each take wood in their own way. Here is how we pair boards with each.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Oak fastened to a flattened subfloor stops the drum-like echo heard in many older two-family flats.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered plank floats over a basement slab and resists the cupping that solid boards could suffer there.
Chevron Hardwood
Tight stairwells in two-families are routine for us, because the crew carries each carton up by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid over plywood in a Cape Cod take nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Checkerboard Parquet
A pale prefinished oak makes a small Carteret living room feel bigger and brighter.
Basket Weave Parquet
Salt air and gritty shoes beat up an entry, so a hard topcoat goes on the foyer boards.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much should I budget for hardwood in Carteret?
Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft nailed, $2.50 glued plus adhesive, or $2.00 for floated engineered. Using our boards, unfinished oak is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00 once installed.
Can you do the upstairs flat of my two-family?
Yes, we lay oak on any floor and plan stair carrying and noise with you and your tenants. Mention any schedule at the estimate and we work around it.
Does hardwood make sense in a basement apartment?
Solid oak does not belong below grade, but a floated engineered floor does well at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. A moisture check comes first.
What about the floor that is there now?
We tear it out for about $1.00/Sq Ft and haul it off. Creaks and soft areas are corrected before a single board is nailed.
Do I save by booking online?
Put the Carteret estimate on the calendar through our website and $250 is deducted. Clearing the rooms of furniture is a flat $250 should you want it.
How long should I plan for?
Plan on one or two days for a pair of prefinished rooms. Unfinished oak that we sand and coat in your Carteret rooms stretches to about a week.
Where do the materials come from?
Stock leaves the warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and reaches Carteret the day after you place the order, through next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who works in my home and what is warrantied?
Our own employees, licensed and insured, with no subcontractors. Expect a one year labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the wood.
