/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet are all installed across Hingham, and borders or inlays are priced during the estimate. Traditional houses near the Square suit herringbone, while newer builds lean toward wide straight planks.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Laying boards parallel to the longest wall cuts waste and lengthens a narrow Hingham living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set at right angles form a zigzag, each piece fitted by hand. It is period appropriate for a colonial dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows are cut at 45 degrees so they join in a crisp V. It suits the open plans of a recent addition.
Diagonal Hardwood
Angling the planks leads the eye across a modest room, which lifts a small harbor cottage kitchen.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain give a parquet look that fits a sunroom facing the water.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak strips interlock in an over and under weave, often edged with a dark border. A well loved choice for an old hallway.

Hardwood Floor Installers in Hingham
Our own crew works out of the Natick store and warehouse and sees each Hingham job through from the first underlayment to the last reducer. On this project they nailed oak down, squared the doorways and swept out, which is the same routine we run in capes near Bare Cove and colonials along the harbor.

Around Plymouth County we also place vinyl plank and laminate, sand and finish tired oak, color floors, mend boards and build new stairs.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Whether it is a colonial near Hingham Square or a harbor view house, South Shore owners in Weymouth, Cohasset, Hull, Quincy and Braintree get one clear labor rate.
Weymouth capes may still hide board subfloors, so solid oak installation begins with a stronger base.
Cohasset homes with damp lower levels get an engineered floor floated on pad for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Hull beach houses love prefinished boards because the sealed surface can take sandy feet from day one.
Quincy two families often want nail down oak at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor to match the floors upstairs.
Braintree owners with worn steps upgrade to new oak treads at $60 each, stained to the hall.
