Boxes come off the shelves at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and the delivery next day from Long Branch lands them before the installers arrive.
We drive out with oak, hickory and engineered samples and lay them against your own walls and windows, so you see how the color behaves in a Chester Borough room.
Every floor has a one year labor warranty, and the maker backs the boards. The people on site are our employees, not hired by the job.

Oak nailed to a leveled subfloor calms the sloping, creaking hallways of the older Main Street homes.

Wide engineered planks float over the slab of a ranch den and keep their shape through the humid weeks of summer.

Steep porch steps and narrow center halls in older colonials are no obstacle, because the crew carries each box in.

Over plywood in a house with a newer addition, boards go down with nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.

Honey toned hickory brightens a dim front parlor where tall trees shade the windows.

A hard satin finish on the entry boards takes road salt and winter slush without clouding.



Expect $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 for nail and glue plus adhesive, and $2.00 when engineered planks float. Buying the boards through us puts unfinished oak at $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished at $6.00.
Often, after we level the low spots and tighten loose subfloor. Old frames move over the decades, so we map the dips at the first visit.
Floating engineered boards on a vapor pad are the right method, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. We check the slab for moisture first.
Yes, tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft and the debris leaves in our truck.
It does. The estimate booked online takes $250 off, and moving furniture is a flat $250 if you want that handled.
Prefinished boards usually take a day or two. Raw oak that is sanded and finished in the house stretches the job toward a week.
At our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings it to your home.
Licensed, insured employees on our payroll install it, and the labor warranty is a full year. The mill warranty covers the boards.
