Walkthrough Before We Start
Strollers on the stoop, a dog tracking in slush from Hudson Street and a party that runs past midnight. A hard finished oak floor takes the punishment without complaint.

Boards come off the shelves at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch means your crew starts on a materials-ready site.
Our crew carries oak, engineered and prefinished sample boards up to your door and lays them against your own windows, so you judge the color in true Hoboken light.
Each install carries a one year labor warranty from us, with the maker's warranty on the wood itself. Every installer is on our payroll, and no one is subcontracted.

Narrow red oak strips nailed over a leveled subfloor quiet the creaky parlor floors in older brownstones.

Engineered planks float over the concrete slab of a waterfront condo, with a pad that keeps sound from traveling downstairs.

Walk-up stairwells are tight, so the crew carries each bundle up by hand and keeps the hallway clear.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards going over plywood in a renovated second floor flat.

A pale prefinished oak brightens a north facing flat that gets little afternoon sun.

A hard finish on the entry boards copes with wet shoes tracked in from the walk along the Hudson.



Brownstone budgets start with labor: $2.25/Sq Ft to nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive to nail and glue, $2.00 to float engineered planks. With boards from us the installed price becomes $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished oak and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Yes. We flatten low areas and fasten loose subfloor first, because floors in buildings this old settle unevenly.
Solid oak needs a wood subfloor, so over a slab we recommend engineered planks floated on a pad, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. Share your building's underlayment rules at the visit and we build the plan around them.
Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we cart the debris off. Squeaks and soft patches are repaired before new wood goes down.
We do for a flat $250. If you prefer to clear the rooms yourself, that works too.
Prefinished boards in two rooms take roughly one or two days of work. Unfinished oak that is sanded and coated on site needs closer to a week.
In our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets it to you once the order is placed.
Our own employees, never subcontractors. We warrant labor for twelve months, and the manufacturer covers the boards.
