Licensed, Insured Installation
Raw oak is sanded level in your house and stained to the sample you liked. Prefinished planks show up already sealed, raise less dust, and can take bare feet by suppertime.

Remeasure and Material Count
Our estimator measures each room, reads subfloor moisture and checks for dips in older farmhouse framing, so the number on your quote is the number you end up paying.

One Year Install Warranty
Our own NWFA certified, insured employees lay every plank. Their work stays guaranteed a year, alongside the wood brand warranty.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Plank layout matters as much as the wood itself. Here are the patterns we install most often in homes around town, from simple rows to fancier designs.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Straight rows run with the length of the room and suit nearly any farmhouse, cape or colonial.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone zigzags short planks into a timeless pattern for a front hall or a quiet study.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron trims each plank end on an angle, so neighboring rows meet in a crisp, pointed V.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal layout tilts rows across the room and can make a small den feel wider than it is.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet sets short pieces in geometric squares, a nice fit for a library nook or dining room.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basketweave pairs planks in alternating blocks, looking woven, and draws the eye in an entry.

Wood Floor Installation Near Bare Hill
Plenty of our jobs are in older homes along Still River and around the town common, where we first level the subfloor and then lay oak that suits the house. We also work in newer places near Prospect Hill with big open rooms. These photos show our crew rolling out underlayment, nailing oak tight and finishing each room.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWood floor installation cost for a Harvard home?
Nailed down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft. Adding glue to the nails makes it $2.50/Sq Ft, and floating is $2.00/Sq Ft. If we supply unfinished oak too, the full package runs $5.50/Sq Ft, or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you install hardwood floors in an antique home?
Yes. Old houses in Still River often have sagging spots and uneven joists, so the subfloor gets leveled before any oak goes down, and we suggest a plank width that suits the age of the place.
Should we choose unfinished or prefinished oak?
Unfinished oak gets its color and final sanding right in your rooms, so any stain is possible and the surface ends up dead flat. Prefinished goes in quicker, with less mess, and the family can walk across it that night.
Does solid oak belong in a damp cellar?
Solid oak does not like damp cellars, so for a basement we suggest floating engineered wood over a moisture barrier, or vinyl plank if water is a real worry.
Will you rip out our wall to wall carpet too?
Gladly. Removal is roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, and the price includes hauling off carpet, foam and those spiky tack strips. That figure is firmed up after someone from our office walks the room.
Who moves the piano and the sofa?
We can. For one flat $250 our crew hauls the furniture out to the garage or a spare room, then carries it all back in when the new oak floor is finished.
When are we billed for the install?
You pay labor when the installers pull up, and the wood when it comes off our truck. Orders placed today get loaded in Coventry tomorrow morning.
Do new oak floors come with any guarantee?
They do. For one year our own work is covered, and the wood itself carries a separate brand warranty. Each person laying your floor is NWFA certified, and our company holds a license plus insurance.
