One Year Install Warranty
One year covers our labor if a joint opens or a board lifts, and the mill backs the wood itself with its own warranty.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The direction the boards run changes how a room feels. Gardner homeowners choose straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron or parquet, and borders get priced at the visit.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and keeps a long living room looking even.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces meet at right angles and give a plain dining room some period character.
Chevron Hardwood
Every plank end is cut at an angle so the rows fold into arrows that lead the eye down a hallway.
Diagonal Hardwood
Set on a diagonal, the oak makes a small bedroom look broader and forgives walls that are not square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet blocks rotate grain from square to square, a tidy grid for under a dining table.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow strips alternate in a basket pattern that suits a study or sitting room.
/ OUR SERVICES

This job started with the carpet gone and the plywood swept. Our installers rolled out underlayment, fired oak strips into it row by row and trimmed each doorway, the same routine we run in homes around Central Street and the hills west of Dunn State Park.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Price, start date and what to clear out of the room are the usual three worries. Answers for Gardner houses follow.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Gardner?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft and includes nails and underlayment. If we supply the wood, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you rip out the carpet in my two-family?
Yes. Removal of old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we haul the debris away. Moving furniture out and back is a flat $250.
Which floor works over a concrete basement slab?
Floating engineered hardwood. It rides on a pad with glued seams, so nothing gets nailed into the concrete, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also lay vinyl plank or laminate?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, both worth considering for a mudroom or a rec room.
How soon does the wood arrive?
Material ships next day from our Natick warehouse. Once the boxes are at your door, the crew can plan the install.
What do new hardwood stairs run?
A new tread costs $60 and includes the riser, nosing and stain. Existing steps can be sanded and refinished for $50 per step.
When do I pay?
The crew gets paid for labor on arrival, while material is settled when the boxes reach your door. Any sanding is split in two, half at the start and half at the final coat.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our labor carries a one-year warranty, and the manufacturer warranty covers the wood. Everyone on site is on our payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
