Walkthrough Before We Start
Several days ahead, our lead installer drops by with a moisture meter, checks the joists for bounce and figures out which wall the first course should follow.

Anyone stepping through your door is NWFA certified, licensed in Massachusetts and insured, a combination that covers the house and the crew alike.
On install day the measuring happens all over again. Every carton of oak, each reducer and every length of trim gets opened on the porch so nothing turns up missing at noon.
Our crew promises its labor for twelve months once the floor is down, and the mill that made the planks backs them on its own paper.

Rows running with the long wall, nothing fancy, the cheapest layout and the one that never goes out of style.

Rectangular pieces stacked at ninety degrees in a zipper shape, warm and busy in a sitting room.

Ends trimmed at an angle line up into sharp points that march toward the far wall.

Laid at forty five degrees, planks stretch a cramped bedroom and fool the eye about crooked walls.

Small squares of oak, grain flipping tile by tile, make a dining nook look tailored.

Paired slats swap direction square after square, an old world look for a library or office.



Chicopee homeowners pay $2.25/Sq Ft when we nail oak down, with rosin paper and cleats tossed in. Buying planks through us? Unfinished, installed, it totals $5.50/Sq Ft. Prefinished totals $6.00/Sq Ft.
Not at all. Older framing sometimes needs a little shimming or a few new sheets of plywood, and we spot that at the free visit, so the price is settled long before day one.
We steer basements toward engineered planks floated on foam at $2.00/Sq Ft. Solid oak and concrete near a river do not get along, and we would rather tell you now.
Orders leave Coventry and usually pull up at your curb a day later. Solid wood then acclimates indoors for a few days before a single cleat goes in.
You can clear the rooms yourself and save, or we shift the furniture around for $250. Tearing out an old floor generally adds around $1.00/Sq Ft.
Labor is due the morning installers show up, and any wood we supply gets paid once it is off the truck. Sanding jobs are divided, half up front and half on the final day.
Winter heat pulls moisture from all wood, so tiny gaps can show in January. A humidifier set around the middle of the dial keeps the floor calmer through the cold months.
We do. Our own certified crew laid it, which is why we guarantee that labor twelve months, and the plank manufacturer covers the wood under its warranty.
