/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Pattern changes the feel of a room. Our crews lay straight rows, herringbone, chevron and diagonal designs, plus parquet squares and basket weave.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows run parallel to the long wall so a narrow cape living room feels a little longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone zigzags look right at home in a stately front room with tall windows.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron rows meet in crisp points that draw you along a center hall toward the back of the house.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks set at forty five degrees open up a small bedroom in a house near Fort Phoenix.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares bring old world texture to a formal dining room off Washington Street.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave pairs short pieces at right angles, a charming touch for a study or entry.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installation for Fairhaven Homes
Captains' houses near the Millicent Library, cottages by Priest's Cove and capes along Huttleston Avenue all follow the same routine. We lift old carpet and staples, screw down loose subfloor, roll out rosin paper and nail every row tight, leaving room for the swings in humidity that come off Buzzards Bay each season.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Other Floor Work in Fairhaven
Hardwood is what we do most, though our crew also lays LVP and laminate, brings tired floors back with sanding, changes stain tones, patches damage and builds stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Families near Cushman Park and the Phoenix Rail Trail usually bring up a handful of questions before new oak goes in. Our answers sit just below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateIs solid oak a good idea this close to the water?
Yes, with the right prep. We check moisture in the subfloor, let the wood acclimate and often glue and nail wider planks so they handle salty, humid summers.
How is hardwood labor priced?
Nailing runs $2.25/Sq Ft, glue plus nails $2.50/Sq Ft and floated engineered planks $2.00/Sq Ft. Supplied by us and installed, unfinished oak totals $5.50/Sq Ft while prefinished totals $6.00/Sq Ft.
Will new wood blend with an antique house?
Often. Species and strip width are matched as closely as we can, and unfinished oak can be stained right in the room to sit comfortably beside older floors.
Will you get rid of the carpet?
We can. Carpet, foam and the spiky nail strips along the walls come up and leave in our truck for about $1.00/Sq Ft, with that line written into your estimate.
How soon can the oak arrive?
Your oak is pulled from stock in Coventry and driven down the following day, so most jobs here begin shortly after you approve the estimate.
How does payment work for installation?
Labor is settled as the crew begins on day one, and the wood once it is unloaded. We never hold a big deposit for months.
Can you move my furniture?
Yes. It is a flat $250, covering couches, beds and dressers, which we shift into another room and return once the last row of oak is down.
Can you beat a cheaper quote I already have?
Yes. Send over the competitor's written price for the identical job, and ours comes in lower. Every customer gets that lowest price guarantee.

Close to Snipatuit Pond, engineered oak floats above cellar concrete and copes with damp months better than solid wood.
In homes around Buttonwood Park, wide oak gets glue and nails so it stays flat through every season.
Near Ned's Point Lighthouse, prefinished oak comes sealed from the mill, so a Mattapoisett living room is usable the evening we finish.
Around Long Plain, our oak floor installers lay unfinished strip and then sand and stain it to your chosen color.
