Boards are pulled from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch comes straight up Route 130, so installers are not left waiting.
An estimator arrives with oak, engineered and prefinished samples and holds them against your own walls, so you judge the tone in the light of your Hamilton windows.
We guarantee our labor for a year, and the manufacturer warrants the wood. Licensed, insured employees lay every board.

Strip oak nailed over fresh plywood keeps the narrow upstairs hall of a Mercerville Cape Cod quiet.

Family rooms built over concrete take engineered planks floated on a pad rather than nailed.

Split level entries have short landings, so our crew carries every bundle through by hand.

Nail and glue, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, keeps boards tight over thin plywood in a bouncy ranch.

Pale prefinished oak brightens a dark front room in a Hamilton Square colonial.

Boards at the garage door get a harder finish to stand up to road salt and gravel.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nailing, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00 for a floated engineered plank. Choosing our boards makes the job $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, after we raise the low areas and re-secure loose subfloor. Houses from that era have settled, so we build the fix into the quote.
Engineered planks floated over a pad are the standard answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Before anything is ordered, we test the concrete for moisture.

A pair of prefinished rooms takes a day or two. Unfinished boards that are sanded and coated in the house take nearer a week.
A website reservation of the estimate takes $250 off the total. Furniture moving is a flat $250 if you want us to handle the heavy pieces.
Our own employees, never subcontractors, with a one year labor warranty and the maker's warranty on the boards.
