Walkthrough Before We Start
Ahead of install week our lead installer visits with a pin meter, since salt air soaks into plywood, then checks level and joists and picks where row one starts.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Herringbone across a great room? A chevron leading toward the water view? Our installers lay patterns often, so just ask.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Straight courses running alongside the longest wall, a timeless look that leaves the smallest pile of offcuts.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths butt at ninety degrees in a woven zigzag, handsome off the porch.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends meet in sharp arrows that steer the eye toward a window full of ocean.
Diagonal Hardwood
A forty five degree layout opens a snug bedroom and disguises walls that settled long ago.
Checkerboard Parquet
Little squares of oak, each turned against its neighbor, frame a dining table nicely.
Basket Weave Parquet
Twin slats change direction square by square, an heirloom look for a study under the eaves.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Chilmark
From the harbor in Menemsha to the stone walls lining South Road, our certified installers take a room from bare plywood clear to the last course slid under trim. In these photos they laid felt, then drove cleats through solid oak strip after strip, a floor built for sea fog in July and a shut up house in February.

Other Floor Work Around Chilmark
Oak is what we lay most up island, though this crew also does vinyl plank, laminate, sanding, color work, patching salt damaged spots and building new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Island homeowners ask about price, timing and whether salt air hurts oak. Here are the answers we give most.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateDoes being on the Vineyard change the hardwood price?
No. Chilmark labor is $2.25/Sq Ft to nail oak down, felt paper and cleats included. With our wood, unfinished planks installed total $5.50/Sq Ft, while prefinished planks reach $6.00/Sq Ft.
Will salt air hurt a new oak floor?
Salt air carries moisture, which is why we meter the plywood and the planks first. Oak that acclimates inside the house before nailing behaves well near the water.
Can hardwood go in a seasonal house that sits closed all winter?
Yes. Engineered planks handle swings in humidity better than solid strips, and we talk through heat and dehumidifier settings for the off season.
How does the oak get out to us?
Orders leave our Coventry warehouse and are scheduled to your door. Solid strips then sit indoors for several days to match the house before we fasten them.
Do furniture and rugs need to go before you come?
Moving things yourself saves money, or we will handle the furniture for $250. Ripping out an existing floor generally adds close to $1.00/Sq Ft more.
How do payments work?
Labor money changes hands as our van pulls up, and wood we supply when the truck unloads. Sanding projects split in two, a half when we start and a half when we wrap.
What about engineered planks over a slab?
They float on foam, $2.00/Sq Ft, and we bring the glue for the seams. Nothing gets drilled into your concrete, and the floor stays quiet underfoot.
Who stands behind the install?
Our own NWFA certified crew does the work, so we guarantee that labor a full year, while the plank maker backs the wood under its own terms.
