Walkthrough Before We Start
Mud tracked in from the barn, a wood stove throwing ash and a lab shaking off after a creek walk. Oak with a hard finish shrugs off country life.

Boxes leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings them down the back roads, so your installers are never left waiting for wood.
We bring oak, hickory and engineered samples to your door and lay them on your own floor, so the color is judged in the light of your windows and not under a store bulb.
Our work carries a one year labor warranty, and the planks come with the maker warranty on materials. We pay our own crews, and no job goes to a subcontractor.

Old pine subfloors in Marksboro farmhouses are screwed flat first, so the new oak lies quiet and even.

A basement near Slabtown Creek Park takes floating planks over a vapor sheet, and the room is ready to furnish quickly.

Long gravel driveways are no obstacle, since our crew carries every box up to the door by hand.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards laid over plywood in a split level on a hillside lot.

A mudroom in a country house gets a hard finished hickory that forgives work boots and wet dogs.

Wood stove heat dries a room out, so we leave a proper expansion gap at every wall.



Labor per square foot runs $2.25 for nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00 for floated engineered. Our unfinished oak totals $5.50 installed and prefinished totals $6.00.
Usually yes, once we shim the low spots and fasten the loose deck. Houses this age move, and we note it during the first visit so no surprise shows up later.
Oak does well, as long as the boards have a gap at the walls for seasonal movement. We also advise on a hearth pad and keep finished boards back from the stove.
Old flooring comes up for roughly $1.00/Sq Ft and goes onto our truck, not into your yard. Soft spots and squeaks are repaired before any new board is laid.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. If you would like us to clear the rooms, furniture moving is a flat $250.
Two or three rooms of factory finished boards tend to be done in a day or two. Unfinished oak has to be sanded and coated after it is nailed, which stretches the schedule to about a week.
Your order ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrives the next day from Long Branch. Even a long country drive does not slow that down.
Our own licensed, insured employees do the job, never subcontractors. You receive one year on labor plus the manufacturer warranty on the wood.
