Walkthrough Before We Start

One Year Install Warranty
We back the labor for a year and the manufacturer backs the boards, so a loose plank or a finish flaw has a clear path to getting fixed.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all go in across East Haven, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Older West End homes tend to pick herringbone, while newer builds up Foxon way go chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, the layout with the least waste, and they stretch a narrow Foxon ranch living room visually.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths meeting at right angles in a zigzag, each one cut by hand. It suits a dining room in a 1920s West End house.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered at 45 degrees so every row closes in a V, a clean look for the open kitchens in remodeled Foxon homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Setting the boards on a 45 degree angle pulls the eye corner to corner and opens up a small kitchen in a Momauguin beach house.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain turned block by block, parquet style, a traditional floor for a sunroom near Grannis Pond.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under, often framed by a darker border, a classic for the older homes along Hemingway Avenue.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in East Haven
The crew drives in from our warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford, roughly 20 minutes down I-95, and the same people stay until the last threshold is set. In this house they rolled out underlayment, racked the oak for a random pattern and nailed it tight, exactly how we handle the capes near Grannis Pond and the cottages toward Momauguin.

Flooring Services in East Haven
Our installers nail oak in the West End most weeks, and the same trucks bring vinyl plank, laminate, refinishing, custom stain, board repair and stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear numbers on price, start date and prep for a hardwood floor installation in East Haven, from Foxon down to Short Beach Road.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in East Haven?
For nail down oak in East Haven the labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails plus underlayment ride inside that price. Wood plus labor from us comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you pull carpet out of a Foxon cape and lay oak?
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs there. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, screws down any loose subfloor and nails new oak over sound plywood.
What goes over the concrete in my Momauguin basement?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam with glue in the joints, so nothing is nailed to the slab. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and waterproof vinyl is the smart pick for mudrooms and baths close to the Sound.
How soon does the wood arrive?
Next day from our Milford warehouse at 92 Munson St. It is a short run up I-95 to East Haven, so the schedule stays tight.
What do you charge for new oak stair treads?
One new oak tread in an East Haven house is $60, and the riser, bull nose, stain and our labor are all part of it. Sound oak stairs can be refinished instead for $50 per step.
When is payment due?
The labor is settled the morning our crew pulls up, and the wood is paid for when the Milford truck unloads it. There is no deposit to reserve a date.
Is the installation under warranty?
Yes. Our labor carries a one year warranty and the flooring carries its manufacturer warranty, with every installer licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
