/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet are all possible in Ludlow, and borders and inlays are quoted at the visit. A plain run keeps a ranch calm, while herringbone gives an older home character.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, which cuts waste and makes a small living room look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards zigzag at right angles, cut piece by piece, a traditional touch for a dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered at 45 degrees meet in neat arrows that carry the eye across an open kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid at a slant widen a narrow bedroom and distract from walls that wander.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with grain alternating from square to square give a sunroom a parquet pattern.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short pieces woven over and under, with a dark edging, fit the entry hall of an older house.
/ OUR SERVICES
Ludlow Hardwood Floor Installation Crew
The crew leaves the Natick store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St and sticks with your project until the last sweep. Here they rolled underlayment, drove nails through tight oak rows and trimmed each doorway, the same method from Fuller Street ranches to older homes off Center Street.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services Around Ludlow
Our crew does more than oak. We lay vinyl plank and laminate, refinish and stain existing floors, repair damaged boards and install stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Ludlow homeowners usually ask first about price, timing and how to prepare their rooms. The honest answers for houses from Stony Hill to West Avenue come next.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does it cost to put in hardwood in Ludlow?
A nail-down floor is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, and nails and underlayment are part of it. With our wood, the installed rate is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Will you tear out my old carpet or vinyl?
Yes. Removing the existing floor costs about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we confirm it when we measure at the free estimate.
I want wood in a room over concrete. Is that realistic?
It is, with engineered planks. They float on padding with glued seams, nothing is nailed into the slab, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you recommend unfinished or prefinished?
Unfinished is sanded and sealed in the room, so the surface is continuous and the color is yours to choose. Prefinished saves time and keeps dust to a minimum.
How soon will the material arrive?
The Natick warehouse delivers the next day. Samples come with us to the house during the estimate.
Can your crew move the furniture and fix the stairs too?
Furniture moving is a flat $250. New oak treads are $60 each, and refinishing existing steps is $50 per step.
When is payment due?
The labor fee is due when the crew arrives and begins. Material is due as the boxes are delivered, and sanding splits into 50% up front and 50% at the final coat.
Is the job warranted?
Labor carries one year from us, and the flooring has the manufacturer's warranty. The installers are employees, licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
