Your boxes come off the shelf at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts them on the driveway before the crew arrives.
We carry oak, hickory and engineered samples into your house and place them against your own trim, so the tone is judged in the light of your rooms.
We guarantee labor for one year, and the manufacturer warrants the boards. Crews are our own paid employees, not hired out job by job.

Strip oak nailed to a refastened plywood deck keeps a colonial hallway silent and level.

Engineered boards float over a basement slab, turning a bare Schraalenburgh Road lower level into a playroom.

Tight driveways and narrow front steps are no obstacle, since the crew carries every carton inside.

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

Hickory with a hard finish works in a mudroom where sneakers and wet umbrellas pile up.

Forced air heating dries boards out in January, so we leave an expansion margin at every wall.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00 for floated engineered boards. Buying our oak, unfinished totals $5.50 installed and prefinished totals $6.00.
Yes, after we screw down the loose deck and shim low spots. Homes from that era move a little, and we plan for it during the first visit.
Engineered planks that float are the safer pick, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, after we test the slab for moisture.
We remove it for about $1.00/Sq Ft and haul the debris away. Squeaks and soft areas are repaired before any new wood goes down.
Reserving your estimate on the website cuts $250 from the price. Clearing and resetting the rooms is a flat $250 if you want it.
Two or three rooms of prefinished boards usually take a day or two. Unfinished oak, which is sanded and coated after it goes down, stretches the job toward a week.
It ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrives with next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Licensed, insured employees of ours handle every step. You get a one year labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the boards.
