Walkthrough Before We Start
Before any box is opened, the lead installer walks the house, taps the subfloor for soft spots, checks door clearances and decides which way the rows should travel.

Everyone who kneels on your floor is on our payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. No subcontractor ever shows up in your hall.
On day one the tape comes out a second time. Cartons are counted against the plan, reducers are laid at each threshold, and the nailer starts only after that.
A full year covers our labor, and the mill backs the boards with its own warranty, so both the work and the wood have protection.

Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and makes a narrow den feel longer.

Short pieces set in a zigzag give a formal dining room a woven look that fits an older farmhouse.

Boards cut at 45 degrees meet in sharp arrows that pull the eye through a long open plan.

Planks laid on the diagonal stretch a small Main Street kitchen toward the corners.

Squares of oak with the grain alternating give a sunroom a traditional parquet feel.

Woven over and under with a dark border, a basket pattern suits a Donkeyville entry hall.



Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and nails and underlayment are part of that figure. Buying the wood from us as well brings the package to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, secures any loose subfloor panels and nails the oak over solid plywood. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft, confirmed at the estimate.
Engineered hardwood, floated over foam with glue in the joints so nothing is fastened into the concrete. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do, both at $2.00/Sq Ft or $1.99/Sq Ft for labor respectively. Waterproof vinyl plank is the better choice for a basement or mudroom.
Delivery comes the day after you order, straight from our Natick warehouse. The crew can usually begin once the boxes are inside.
A new hardwood tread costs $60, with riser, nosing, stain and labor counted. If your treads are in good shape, refinishing them is $50 per step.
Crew labor is billed the morning they walk in, while the wood is settled once the cartons reach your door. Any sanding work is billed half at the first pass and half when the final coat goes down.
Our labor has a one year warranty and the boards carry the maker warranty. The people on your floor hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
