/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Litchfield
The crew drives up from our store at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays on one Litchfield house until it is done. On this job they laid rosin paper, nailed white oak strip through a renovated colonial off Route 63 and fitted it to an original stone hearth, the same care an antique on South Street or a cottage at Bantam Lake receives.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Litchfield
Along with new oak, the same Litchfield employees refinish old boards, lay vinyl plank and laminate, rebuild staircases, mend damaged planks and change stain colors.

Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 for nail and glue, $2.00 for floated engineered. With our oak, unfinished comes to $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished $6.00.
Can new oak match the old wide boards in my antique?
Yes. We source wide white oak, nail it the same direction and finish it on site to sit beside the original boards without a visible seam in color.

Over a slab or crawl space, no. There we float engineered oak on a vapor pad at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Do you take out the old carpet?
Removal and haul away run about $1.00/Sq Ft. The subfloor is then screwed down and flattened.
Any discount for booking online?
Online bookings get $250 off. Furniture moving is a flat $250 when you want us to handle it.
How long will the job take?
Prefinished oak in two or three rooms is one to two days. Unfinished oak sanded and finished in place is closer to a week with cure time.
