Walkthrough Before We Start
Snow boots stomping in from the driveway, a ski bag dropped in the hall and a retriever shaking off after the trail. A hard finished oak floor handles winter without fuss.

Your boxes ship from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets them up the mountain roads before the crew has a chance to wait.
Oak, hickory and engineered samples come to your house with us, and we set them beside your trim and windows so the tone is judged in true Hardyston light.
A year of labor coverage stands behind the install, and the boards come with the maker warranty. Every installer is on our payroll, so nothing is handed to a subcontractor.

Strip oak nailed to a re-secured plank deck keeps the creaks out of an older Stockholm house.

Engineered boards float across a walkout basement slab off Wheatsworth Road, giving the lower level a warm wood look.

Steep driveways and winding lanes do not slow us down, because the crew walks every box in.

Boards laid over plywood in a split level are glued and nailed together for $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.

A mudroom near the garage gets hickory with a hard finish that forgives salt and slush.

Dry heat from a woodstove shrinks boards, so we leave an expansion margin along each wall.



Labor is priced per square foot: $2.25 nails the oak down, $2.50 plus adhesive nails and glues it, and $2.00 floats an engineered plank. Choose our boards and the installed total is $5.50 unfinished or $6.00 prefinished. If the boards come from us as well, unfinished lands at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00.
They will once the low areas are built up and loose deck is screwed down. We study the slope at the first visit and tell you what it will take.
Dry stove heat moves boards slightly, so we leave a proper gap at the walls and advise on a protective hearth zone. Oak copes well with that routine.
It comes up for about $1.00/Sq Ft and rides away on our truck. Any squeaks or soft deck we find are fixed before wood goes down.
Schedule your estimate through the website, and $250 is deducted from the total.
A few prefinished rooms usually take a day or two. Unfinished oak that needs sanding and coats on site stretches to roughly a week.
Orders leave our Long Branch, NJ warehouse and reach your driveway the next day, courtesy of next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Licensed, insured employees of ours handle everything, never subcontractors. We guarantee labor for one year and the boards have the manufacturer warranty.
