All material is stored at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ. Next-day delivery from Long Branch reaches even long gravel driveways before the crew arrives.
Samples of oak, hickory and engineered plank are driven out to your property and set on your subfloor, so you judge the tone under your own windows.
Workmanship is guaranteed for twelve months and the manufacturer stands behind the boards. Only our licensed, insured employees lay your floor.

Employees of ours, never subcontractors. Labor is warrantied for a year and the boards carry the mill's own coverage.
