Walkthrough Before We Start
Older Berkshire houses shift with the seasons, so the lead installer checks the subfloor for movement, measures each threshold and inspects the stairs before material is ordered.

You will never see a subcontractor at your door. The people laying your boards are on our payroll, with a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
When the crew arrives, trim, reducers and cartons are sorted by room. That small step keeps the nailing steady from the first row to the last.
Our workmanship is warranted for a year after the last board is down, while the lumber mill stands behind the wood itself.

Boards run alongside the longest wall, a low-waste layout that lengthens a narrow room.

Short boards turn in a zigzag and are cut one at a time, a handsome fit for a dining room with old trim.

Mitered ends meet in a point, so a long hall seems to arrow toward the back door.

Laid at 45 degrees, planks stretch the eye across a small cottage room.

Oak squares with alternating grain create a parquet look for a sunroom or mudroom.

Short strips woven in an over-under weave, often with a contrasting border, a classic touch in homes near the old mills.



Nailing down solid oak costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, nails and underlayment included. Adding the wood brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. We lift the carpet and pad, pull the tack strips, fasten down any loose subfloor and nail the new boards onto solid plywood. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Engineered hardwood floated on foam, with glue in the joints. Nothing is nailed into the concrete, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, both sensible for lake cottages and finished lower levels.
Flooring leaves our Natick warehouse and reaches you the next day. The crew then confirms the install date with you.
A new hardwood tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor included, and refinishing an existing step is $50.
The crew is paid for labor when work begins and material is paid when the boxes arrive. Sanding work is paid in two halves, one when it begins and one at the last coat.
Our labor has a one-year warranty, and the planks keep their manufacturer warranty. Each crew member holds a license and insurance plus NWFA certification.
