Remeasure and Material Count
Measuring comes first, each room taped out, then the cartons, trim and reducers get lined up by the garage door so nobody stops to search for a piece.

One Year Install Warranty
The work itself is guaranteed for one year by us, and the planks keep whatever warranty the mill gives them, which puts both the labor and the oak under cover.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all get installed around Killingworth, with borders and inlays quoted during the visit. Antique houses by the green lean toward herringbone, while newer builds on North Chestnut Hill ask for chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and goes fastest, and it stretches a Killingworth cape visually.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths set at right angles in a zigzag, each one fitted by hand. Right for a dining room in an eighteenth century house on Route 81.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows cut at 45 degrees meet in a crisp V down the middle, a fit for the open floor plans of newer homes off Route 80.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks running diagonal to the walls pull the eye corner to corner and make a tight kitchen near the green feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Square oak blocks with the grain turned each time, parquet style, a classic for a sunroom facing the woods near Chatfield Hollow.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under inside a darker border, a pattern that suits the older homes on North Chestnut Hill.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear numbers on price, start date and prep for a hardwood floor installation in Killingworth, whether you are on Route 81 or out by the state park.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Killingworth?
Nailing down your oak costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, and that already pays for nails and underlayment. If we supply the wood too, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you take out the carpet in my colonial on North Chestnut Hill?
Yes, tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft, padding and tack strips included. Soft spots in the subfloor get screwed down before the oak goes on.
What goes over a walkout basement slab?
Engineered oak, floated on foam with glue in each joint, so nothing is nailed into concrete. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate out here?
We do, vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft. Waterproof vinyl suits the damp lower levels common on wooded Killingworth lots.
How soon can the wood reach Killingworth?
Next day from our Milford warehouse, which is about forty minutes down Route 81 and the interstate. Delivery is paid when the boxes arrive.
How much are new oak stair treads?
Sixty dollars buys a new tread complete with riser, nosing, stain and the labor to set it. Sanding and recoating the steps already in the house is $50 apiece.
When is payment due?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives to start, and material when it is delivered. Nothing is owed before that.
Is there a warranty on the installation?
Our labor is covered for twelve months and the planks keep the mill's own warranty. Every member of the Killingworth crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
