/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Plaster walls, sunrooms added in the 1980s and finished attics each push on a floor in a different way. Here is what we choose for them.
Straight Lay Hardwood
A narrow 2 1/4 inch oak strip echoes the original floors in a 1920s Essex Fells hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered boards float easily across sloped attic rooms where nailing is awkward.
Chevron Hardwood
Long driveways and slate walks are no obstacle, since our crew hand-carries every bundle to the door.
Diagonal Hardwood
Over a plywood layer in a renovated kitchen, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards from ticking underfoot.
Checkerboard Parquet
For a sunroom with a wall of glass, a lightly toned prefinished oak keeps afternoon glare from showing every footprint.
Basket Weave Parquet
Back-hall mudrooms collect lacrosse cleats and slush, so we seal the entry boards with a harder topcoat.

Carpenters Who Lay Oak in Essex Fells Homes
Our carpenters set oak in Tudors and center-hall colonials along Fells Road and the streets around it. We flatten the old fir subfloor, lay felt, blind-nail every course and run a vacuum along the baseboards before leaving.

Other Floor Work We Offer Near Fells Road
A center-hall colonial or a half-timbered Tudor deserves real wood underfoot. The crew that lays it also handles vinyl and laminate, sanding, staining, board repair and staircases.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much would oak floors cost for my Essex Fells colonial?
Nailed-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue is $2.50 plus adhesive, and floated engineered planks are $2.00. Using our lumber the installed price becomes $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
Can new oak match the original floors in a 1920s house?
Close enough that visitors cannot find the seam, because we bring strip widths in the same dimensions and tone them on site. Where rooms meet, we plan the board direction so the join reads naturally.
Does a finished basement suit real hardwood?
Not nailed down, since slabs hold moisture. Floating engineered planks over a vapor barrier are the safer route, after a moisture check at your estimate.
Who carts out the old carpet and tack strips?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, loading everything onto our own truck. Creaks in the subfloor are screwed down before new boards touch it.
Does reserving the estimate on the web save anything?
It does: $250 off the visit. If you want the sofas and bookcases shifted for you, that is a flat $250.
How many days of disruption should we expect?
Prefinished rooms generally take a day or two apiece. Raw oak that we sand and coat in place needs about a week with curing.
Do boards come from a local yard?
They come from our own warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, delivered the next day from Long Branch once you place the order.
Who shows up, and what is promised afterward?
Our own licensed, insured employees show up. Labor is warrantied for a year, and the boards carry the manufacturer's coverage.
