Tow path mud on boots, antique chairs dragged to a new corner and a retriever shaking off after a canal walk. A hard wearing oak plank takes it in stride.

Boxes leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and arrive with next-day delivery from Long Branch, which keeps the installers from standing around waiting for wood.
Our estimator carries oak, engineered and prefinished samples to your door and lays them on your own floor, so the tone is judged under the light of your tall river windows.
Labor is covered for one year, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards. Every installer is on our payroll, licensed and insured, and none are hired out.

Nailed red oak over a flattened old subfloor quiets the groan that rowhouse hallways collect over a century.

Engineered boards float over concrete in converted loft units, and a dense pad keeps footsteps from carrying downstairs.

Steep entries and tight hillside lots do not slow us down, since our crew carries every carton inside by hand.

Boards laid over plywood in a split level fare best with nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.

A pale, matte prefinished oak makes a small rowhouse parlor read larger and brighter.

Wet boots at the back door are routine here, so we recommend a tougher finish by the mudroom.



Labor for nail down is $2.25/Sq Ft, for nail and glue $2.50 plus the adhesive, and floating engineered planks cost $2.00. Add our wood and the installed figure is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
It is, once we shim or plane the low spots and fasten any loose subfloor. Old river town houses settle unevenly, so we map the slope at the first visit.
Floated engineered planks over a sound pad are the usual answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Ask your landlord or association about underlayment ratings and we will build around them.
We do, at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, and the old material rides away in our truck. Any squeaks or soft areas get fixed before the first new board is set.
Reserve the estimate on the website and the bill drops by $250. Moving furniture is a flat $250 if you prefer we handle it.
Two prefinished rooms usually take one to two days. Raw oak sanded and coated inside the house stretches toward a full week.
It ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ. Delivery to Lambertville is next day from Long Branch once the order is placed.
Only our own employees work in your home, never subcontractors. Labor is warranted for twelve months, and the board maker adds its own coverage.
