Remeasure and Material Count
On day one the crew stacks cartons, trim and reducers in the rooms they belong to. Nobody hunts for a piece mid-job, and the rows go down at a steady pace.

One Year Install Warranty
You get one year on our labor, and the mill backs the boards with its own warranty, so both the craft and the lumber are covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Lawrence homes ask for many looks, from straight runs in a long hallway to herringbone in a front room. Here are the patterns our installers lay most.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and makes a narrow city room look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short planks form a zigzag, each piece cut by hand. It brings an old-fashioned feel to a formal dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board end is cut at 45 degrees so the seams meet as arrows, a sharp look for an open kitchen and hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set on the diagonal pull the eye toward the far corner, which opens up a small bedroom on Tower Hill.
Checkerboard Parquet
Square oak blocks with alternating grain give a parquet look that suits a sunny front room.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often framed by a dark border, a classic for the older brick-era homes of South Lawrence.

Hardwood Floor Installers in Lawrence
This job sat a short drive from Washington Mills, where our own crew pulled up the old covering and cleaned the subfloor to bare plywood. Then they rolled out underlayment and nailed oak strip row after row, with a quarter-inch gap left at each wall.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Lawrence?
Nailing the oak down costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, with nails and underlayment inside that rate. Wood plus installation together run $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you pull up carpet in an old three-decker?
Yes. We remove the carpet, pad and tack strips, secure any loose boards and nail the new floor to a sound base. Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What goes over a concrete slab or damp basement?
Engineered hardwood, floated over foam with glued joints so nothing is nailed into the slab. The labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank and laminate?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and both are common choices for rental-style units and basement rooms.
How soon does the flooring arrive?
Material ships next day from our Natick warehouse, and our crew coordinates the installation date with you at the estimate.
What do new stair treads cost?
One new hardwood step is $60, riser, nosing, stain and labor all counted. Sanding and refinishing a sound step instead is $50.
When do I pay?
Labor gets paid the moment the crew shows up, and flooring gets paid as cartons come off the truck. A sanding job is split in half, 50% to begin and 50% at the last coat.
Is the work guaranteed?
We warranty our labor for one year, and the boards keep their own factory warranty. Your crew is licensed, insured and certified by the NWFA.
