Walkthrough Before We Start

Remeasure and Material Count
On installation day, the tape measure comes out a second time. Boxes are tallied, reducers are staged at thresholds and the nailer fires only after everything checks out.

One Year Install Warranty
A full year covers our labor. The boards bring their own manufacturer warranty, which means the install and the material each have backing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The direction of the boards changes how a room feels. Our installers cut straight, diagonal, herringbone and chevron layouts, all pictured below.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and keeps a long Holden family room looking tidy.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turned ninety degrees in turn form a herringbone cousin that suits a formal dining table.
Chevron Hardwood
Ends cut at 45 degrees meet in a sharp point, pulling the gaze down a long hall toward the stairs.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal run stretches a small kitchen sideways, so the room reads wider than its walls.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares set with the grain turned in alternate directions bring a parquet feel to a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Thin oak woven into a basket pattern, edged with a dark border, fits a front hall in an older farmhouse.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Holden
Our crew drives out from the Natick shop to jobs across Holden, from the streets off Holden Center to the quieter roads of Jefferson. In this house the old floor came up to plywood, underlayment was unrolled, and oak went down in staggered rows with a narrow expansion gap along each wall.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Holden
When the oak is down, the same crew can follow with vinyl plank for a lower level, laminate for a bedroom, a full sand and stain, board repairs or stair treads.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much will new hardwood cost in Holden?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are inside that number. Add the wood and it is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Our house is on a hill with a damp cellar. What goes there?
Engineered planks floated over underlayment suit a cellar slab, because no nails reach the concrete. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can the carpet upstairs be replaced with oak?
Yes. The carpet, pad and staples get hauled out first, with removal around $1.00/Sq Ft, then the subfloor is checked and the oak goes down.
What is the charge for moving furniture?
A flat $250 for the whole job. If you move the furniture yourself, there is nothing to pay for that step.
Is nail and glue better than nail down?
Wide planks and some subfloors call for it. It is $2.50/Sq Ft for labor plus the adhesive, and we tell you at the estimate if your room needs it.
When do the boards arrive?
They leave our Natick warehouse the following day, so the delivery is at the door before the crew starts.
Who is paid, and when?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and sanding jobs split into two halves.
What if a plank fails later?
Our labor has a one year warranty, and the wood has the mill's materials warranty. All installers are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
