Licensed, Insured Installation
Cartons leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings them to Highlands the following morning, so the crew rarely waits on material.

Remeasure and Material Count
Oak, maple and engineered samples travel to your house, and we lay them on your own subfloor next to the window trim. Bay light bounces differently off the water than it does up on the hill.

One Year Install Warranty
We back our labor for one year, and the boards carry the maker's warranty. Employees do the install, licensed and insured, with no subcontractors.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A bayfront cottage on pilings, a hillside two story and a condo near the harbor all demand different methods. Here is how we pick the wood for each one.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Oak nailed over a stiffened plywood subfloor stays quiet in a small cottage with a lot of foot traffic.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float over a concrete deck in harbor condos, with a pad that quiets steps for units below.
Chevron Hardwood
Raised houses mean a long climb to the front door, and our crew carries every carton up by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits oak laid over plywood in a rebuilt, elevated home.
Checkerboard Parquet
Pale prefinished white oak gives a small bayfront living room a bright, open look.
Basket Weave Parquet
A hard satin finish copes with sand that blows in on summer weekends.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does a hardwood floor cost in Highlands?
Labor comes to $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00/Sq Ft for a floated floor. Choosing our wood puts unfinished at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00/Sq Ft installed.
My house was raised after the storm. Is the subfloor ready for oak?
Usually, once we confirm it is flat, dry and fastened. We look at it during the estimate and tell you if anything needs work first.
Can solid oak go in a bayfront condo?
Engineered planks floated over a sound pad are the common answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Check your association rules on sound and we work within them.
Do you remove what is there now?
We do. Demolition is roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, our truck takes the waste, and squeaks plus soft areas are corrected before new boards are set.
Can I get $250 off?
Book your estimate on our website and $250 comes off. If you would rather not shift the furniture yourself, we do it for a flat $250.
What is the timeline?
Figure a day or two when the boards come prefinished and the job is a couple of rooms. Unfinished oak sanded and coated in place takes closer to a week.
Where do the boards ship from?
They leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, with next-day delivery from Long Branch after you order.
Who is in my home and what stands behind the work?
Our own employees, not subcontractors. Labor has a one year warranty and the boards carry the manufacturer's coverage.
