Our labor comes with a one year guarantee, and the boards carry the mill's own coverage, so each layer of the floor has someone standing behind it.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Chelmsford work covers straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts, and borders or inlays are priced at the visit. Older homes close to the town center favor herringbone, whereas newer builds pick a wide straight plank.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards that follow the long wall install quickest with the least waste. A ranch hallway ends up looking longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at right angles in a zigzag are cut and fitted one at a time. A period touch for the dining room of an older house.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, rows join in a crisp V. Open layouts in newer subdivisions suit it.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal boards pull the eye through a room, so a compact kitchen feels roomier.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with the grain alternating give a parquet look in a sunroom facing the backyard.
Basket Weave Parquet
Woven oak pieces, often framed in a darker border, are a classic detail in homes near the town center.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, scheduling and prep for hardwood installation in Chelmsford, from East Chelmsford to the Route 3 corridor.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood installation cost in Chelmsford?
Nail down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside the price. Using our wood puts the package at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace wall to wall carpet in my colonial?
We can. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, secures any loose subfloor and nails the hardwood to solid plywood. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What flooring suits a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood floated over foam, with glue in each seam. The slab stays untouched, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you handle vinyl plank and laminate as well?
Yes. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate, and vinyl is the safer pick for a damp basement.
How soon will the flooring be delivered?
The day after you order. Our trucks leave the Natick warehouse daily, so your start date stays close to the order.
What does a new oak stair tread cost?
$60 per tread, covering riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing treads in good shape can be refinished at $50 each.
How is the job paid for?
You pay labor as the crew begins and material as the boxes arrive. Sanding is billed in halves, one at the start and one at the final coat.
Does the installation carry a warranty?
Yes, one year on labor from us, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the boards. Each crew member holds a license, insurance and an NWFA certificate.
