Sandy feet from the dune path, wet towels on the hall and a dog shaking off after the bay. A hard oak finish gets through the whole summer.

Boxes are staged at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and move with next-day delivery from Long Branch, so a rental turnover or a closing deadline does not stall the crew.
Our estimator brings oak, hickory and engineered samples and holds them against your walls, so you see the tone in the glare that bounces off Barnegat Bay.
We guarantee our labor for a year, and the mill stands behind the boards. Brazil Floors carpenters do every room, and no job is passed to a subcontractor.

Wide oak nailed over a stiff plywood deck carries long open rooms without a hint of bounce.

Engineered planks glide over the slab of a ground-level den where nailing is not an option.

Tall exterior stairs on elevated homes do not slow the crew, since each bundle is carried up by hand.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards on plywood in a raised bayside home.

A bleached coastal look starts with a pale prefinished white oak in a house facing the water.

Beach sand scratches soft coatings quickly, so a hard finish goes on the entry and kitchen boards.



Expect $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down labor, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00/Sq Ft for a floating engineered install. Buy the boards from us and the finished figure is $5.50/Sq Ft raw or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, over a properly flat plywood deck, and the newer framing makes that easier. We check the deck at the estimate and tell you if anything needs flattening first.
Engineered boards floated over a moisture barrier are the usual answer there at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak needs plywood beneath it, and we explain both at the visit.
Yes, demolition is about $1.00/Sq Ft and our truck hauls it away. Soft spots and squeaks are fixed before a new board goes down.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. A flat $250 covers moving furniture when you want it done.
Two prefinished rooms usually finish in a couple of days. Unfinished oak that is sanded and sealed in the house is nearer a week, so we sequence the rooms around your calendar.
