Walkthrough Before We Start
Winter salt from the driveway, a dog shaking off after a walk and kids racing down the hall. Oak with a durable finish takes the abuse and still looks warm.

The cartons leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ with next-day delivery from Long Branch, which means material is waiting when the installers walk in.
Bring in oak, hickory and engineered samples, and we lay them across your own subfloor so you see the true color against your walls.
Expect one year of labor coverage plus the board maker warranty. Payroll employees install every floor, and they are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.

Original plank subfloors under a Kenilworth cape take added screws first, which keeps the new oak from creaking.

In a lower-level den, engineered boards float on a pad and tolerate seasonal swings in humidity.

Short driveways and side entrances do not slow us, since every bundle goes in by hand.

Ranch floors built on plywood hold best with nail and glue. The adhesive adds to the $2.50/Sq Ft labor and keeps the boards locked.

A pale prefinished white oak brightens a small front room that gets little afternoon sun.

Boots and road salt dull soft coatings quickly, so entries get a harder finish.



You pay $2.25/Sq Ft for nailed labor, $2.50 for nail and glue plus adhesive, or $2.00 for floating engineered. Using our boards, installed unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00.
Yes, once we level the low spots and secure the subfloor. Houses of that age shift, and we plan for it at the first visit.
Floating engineered boards work well on a dry slab, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft. We test moisture first.
Pulling up the old floor adds roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, and we cart away every scrap.
Moving costs a flat $250. If you skip it, the rooms must be empty before we start.
Prefinished plank in a room or two is generally a one to two day visit. Raw oak sanded in place takes about a week.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off.
Employees of ours handle everything, never subcontractors. You receive twelve months of labor coverage, and the boards keep their mill warranty.
