Remeasure and Material Count
Measuring comes first, then the cartons, transitions and base shoe are lined up in the mudroom so the installers keep moving without a run to the truck.

One Year Install Warranty
One year of labor warranty comes from us, and the oak carries the mill's own manufacturer warranty, so both the work and the wood are protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Franklin homeowners choose straight runs, herringbone, chevron, diagonal or parquet, and borders or inlays are priced during the visit. Farmhouses lean toward wide straight planks, while newer builds try chevron in the great room.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the longest wall, cutting waste and lengthening a North Franklin ranch to the eye.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set in a zigzag at right angles, each piece cut to fit. Handsome in a farmhouse dining room off Route 87.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards mitered at 45 degrees meet in a sharp V, a pattern suited to the open great rooms of newer Franklin colonials.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks lead the eye toward the corners and widen a small farmhouse kitchen in North Franklin.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, a traditional look for a sunroom overlooking the fields along Route 32.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under inside a dark border, as found in the older homes near the Shetucket River.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain talk on labor, delivery and subfloor prep for a hardwood floor installation anywhere in Franklin, from North Franklin to the river side.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the cost of hardwood floor installation in Franklin?
Nailing down oak in Franklin is $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, and the nails and underlayment are already in that price. Oak supplied by us makes the package $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can oak replace the carpet in an old North Franklin farmhouse?
Yes. The carpet and pad are torn out at about $1.00/Sq Ft, soft spots in the subfloor are screwed tight and the oak is nailed over sound plywood.
Which wood works on the concrete in a Franklin basement?
Floated engineered oak, since no nail can go into concrete. The planks sit on foam with glued joints at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Do you install vinyl plank or laminate in Franklin too?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and waterproof vinyl is our pick for farmhouse basements that stay damp.
How long does delivery to Franklin take?
One day. The truck leaves 92 Munson St in Milford the morning after you order and comes up I-395 to your door.
What do you charge for oak stair treads?
A new oak tread with riser, nosing, stain and labor is $60. Solid stairs that only look tired are refinished at $50 per step.
How is the payment schedule set up?
You pay for labor when the crew arrives to begin and for the wood when the delivery is made. A sanding job splits into 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
Does the installation come with a warranty?
It does. We cover the labor for a year and the manufacturer covers the planks, and every installer in your Franklin home is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
