Stock ships from the warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and the next-day delivery from Long Branch puts it on your porch before we start nailing.
We carry oak, maple and engineered samples through the door and rest them on your own boards next to your window trim. Small rooms in older houses read very differently at different hours.
Expect twelve months of labor coverage and the maker's guarantee on every carton. The people laying your boards are staff, licensed and insured, never hired out.

Fresh oak over fastened old pine planks silences the creaks in a hundred year old hall.

A rear addition on a slab takes engineered planks laid over a thin pad.

Cartons rest inside the house for a few days before nailing so the oak settles to your humidity.

Where oak is going over old plywood, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards tight.

Maple in a pale natural tone lifts a dark living room in a smaller house.

A satin coat of polyurethane hides the scuffs of daily life better than gloss.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft nail down, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive nail and glue, or $2.00/Sq Ft for floating. Supplying the wood ourselves makes unfinished $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft with installation.
Not usually. We level low areas and fasten the subfloor before boards go on, and we plan for it at the first walk through.
Yes, once the carpet and pad are out and we confirm the base is solid. We look underneath at the estimate.
We tear it out at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft and take it with us. Loose boards and bounce are corrected first.
Reserve your estimate through the website and that amount comes off. Want the sofas shifted by someone else? That service is a flat $250.
A few finished rooms take a day or two. Unfinished oak that is sanded and coated on site stretches to about a week.
It ships from the warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets it to Helmetta quickly.
Employees only, no subcontractors, with a year on labor and the maker's coverage on the boards.
