We stand behind labor for a full year, and the planks arrive with a separate mill warranty. A seasonal owner can leave town knowing both are covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Chatham projects range over straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Older captain's capes near Eldredge Public Library often go herringbone, and new builds near Nantucket Sound prefer wide straight boards.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards that run with the long wall waste the least and move the fastest. A narrow cottage hall appears longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at right angles in a zigzag are cut one at a time. A fitting choice for a dining room in an antique home.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, each row closes in a clean V. It works in the open plans of newer houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks draw the eye across a room, making a small cottage kitchen seem larger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain alternating in a parquet pattern suit a sunroom with a view toward the marsh.
Basket Weave Parquet
Woven oak pieces, often with a darker border, are traditional in homes near the old village center.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Honest numbers on cost, scheduling and prep for hardwood floor installation in Chatham, from North Chatham to the harbor.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Chatham?
Nail down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included. Adding our wood makes it $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Is salt air a problem for hardwood?
Wood moves with humidity on the Cape, so we check moisture first, leave proper expansion gaps and seal the floor well. Engineered planks are an option near damp spots.
What works over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated on foam with glue in the joints. No fasteners touch the slab, and that method runs $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Can you also lay vinyl plank or laminate?
Yes. Labor for vinyl plank is priced at $2.00/Sq Ft, and for laminate at $1.99/Sq Ft. Vinyl is the stronger pick for a wet basement or mudroom.
How fast does flooring arrive?
The next day. Trucks leave our Natick warehouse every day, so the start date follows your order closely.
How much is a new oak stair tread?
$60 per tread, which includes riser, nosing, stain and labor. Sound existing steps can be refinished for $50 each.
How does payment work?
Labor is due when the crew arrives, and material when the boxes land. Sanding is split in half, at the start and again at the last coat.
What warranty covers the job?
One year of labor from us, plus the manufacturer's coverage on the boards. Our people hold licenses, insurance and NWFA certification.
