Walkthrough Before We Start
Old hill houses shift with the frost, so the lead tests the subfloor, checks each threshold and looks hard at the stairs before any wood is ordered.

Nobody on your floor is hired for the week. Each installer is on our payroll with a license, insurance and an NWFA certificate.
On day one the installers measure every room and stack the cartons, trim and reducers at the door, which keeps the work rolling without trips back to the truck.
We cover our labor for one year, and the manufacturer covers the boards, so the work and the wood are both protected.

Boards run with the long wall, which wastes the least wood and makes a narrow hall look longer.

Short boards turn ninety degrees in a stepped pattern, a classic choice for a dining room in an old house.

Ends mitered at 45 degrees meet in a V, which suits the open layouts of newer houses on the hillsides.

Planks on a diagonal draw the eye across the floor and make a small kitchen feel bigger.

Oak squares with grain alternating give a parquet look, nice for a sunroom with hill views.

Short pieces woven over and under with a dark border are a throwback for a formal front room.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment inside. With the boards from us, it is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.

Labor when the crew begins, materials when boxes are delivered, and sanding in halves at start and last coat.
