Walkthrough Before We Start
Three hundred year old framing near the Green and damp ground close to the Sound mean uneven floors are common here, so our lead inspects the subfloor, every threshold and the stairs before unpacking a box.

Licensed, Insured Installation
Nobody on a Guilford job is a subcontractor. Every installer is our employee, licensed, insured and NWFA certified, so the house and the people in it are covered from start to finish.

Remeasure and Material Count
Measuring every room comes first, then cartons, moldings and transitions are stacked by the entry, which keeps the installers moving instead of searching for parts.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind the labor for a full year, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards, which means the installation and the wood both have protection after we leave.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all get installed across Guilford, with borders and inlays priced on site. The colonials around the Green favor herringbone, while new homes toward North Guilford pick chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, the quickest and least wasteful layout, and a Goose Lane ranch looks longer because of it.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards meet at right angles in a zigzag, each one hand fitted. Right for the dining room of a colonial on Whitfield Street.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered at 45 degrees so each pair meets in a clean V, suited to the open floor plans of the newer homes off Route 80.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal layout pulls the eye corner to corner and makes a compact kitchen in a Sachem's Head cottage feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain alternating block by block, parquet style, a traditional pick for a sunroom near Nut Plains Park.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under inside a darker border, a classic in the older houses along Boston Post Road.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Guilford
Our crew drives out from 92 Munson St in Milford and stays with a Guilford project until the last doorway is trimmed. In this home they rolled underlayment, nailed the oak snug and squared every opening, the same care we bring to a Whitfield Street colonial or a cape near Chittenden Park.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Guilford
Nail down oak fills most of our Guilford calendar, and between those jobs the crew installs vinyl plank and laminate, refinishes worn floors, applies fresh stain, repairs split boards and sets new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, start dates and prep for a hardwood floor installation in Guilford, from the Green out to Leete's Island.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in Guilford?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and that figure already covers nails and underlayment. If we supply the wood, unfinished oak installed is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you work in a historic house near the Guilford Green?
Yes, and old colonials are a regular job for us. Uneven subfloors get shimmed or sheeted first, and wide plank or herringbone keeps the period look.
How long will the installation take?
Two or three days for prefinished boards in an average three bedroom house. Unfinished oak needs sanding and three coats on top, so about a week.
What goes over a slab in a Guilford Lakes walkout?
Engineered hardwood floated on a pad, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak cannot be nailed to concrete, so the slab gets the floated system.
Do you move furniture?
Yes, the whole house for a flat $250. You box the small items and the crew handles beds, sofas and dressers.
How does payment work?
The wood is paid on delivery and the labor the morning work begins. There is no deposit.
How fast does the wood arrive in Guilford?
Stocked oak ships from our Milford warehouse and lands at your house the next day. Special orders get a firm date before you commit.
Is there a discount for booking online?
Scheduling the free estimate online saves $250 on the job. Wood bought through us can be discounted up to 30%.
