Walkthrough Before We Start

Remeasure and Material Count
On day one the cartons get counted into their rooms and the reducers and thresholds are laid out by each doorway. Once the nailer starts, nobody searches the truck for a missing piece.

One Year Install Warranty
Twelve months cover our labor, and the mill warranty follows the boards themselves. That leaves you with a clear answer if anything shifts after the job.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A layout decides how a room feels before anyone notices the color. Browse these patterns and tell us which would sit best in your house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards that run with the longest wall use the least wood and give a small colonial room a calm, even look.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short strips set in alternating directions give a dining room the look of an older, hand-built floor.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered chevron ends form tidy points that draw the eye through a long living area.
Diagonal Hardwood
Set at 45 degrees, the boards stretch a tight bedroom and cover for walls that lean.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet blocks with the grain changing direction suit a den or a front parlor.
Basket Weave Parquet
A woven pattern of short pieces framed by a darker border is a traditional touch for a library or study.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Marblehead
From the lanes near Abbot Hall to the quiet streets around Crocker Park, we begin every floor by lifting the old covering down to plywood. In this house the crew laid underlayment, nailed the oak course by course and left a thin gap at each wall for seasonal movement. Taking out the previous floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Other Floor Services in Marblehead
With the oak finished, the crew can move on to vinyl plank downstairs, laminate in a spare room, a hallway refinish, a few board repairs or fresh stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Marblehead owners usually ask what the floor costs, when the crew can start and what must leave the room. We answer all three below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much will new hardwood cost in Marblehead?
Our nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside it. Buying the wood from us puts unfinished at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00/Sq Ft installed, and you can save up to 30% on material.
Do you take up old carpet or worn boards?
Yes. Pulling up the old floor costs about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the debris leaves in our truck. Moving heavy furniture out of the room and back again is a flat $250.
What floor suits a damp basement slab?
Engineered hardwood floated on underlayment with glued joints. Nothing is nailed into the concrete, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can the same team lay vinyl or laminate?
It can. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, so a whole house can be done by one crew.
How quickly does the wood get to my house?
It ships the next day from our Natick warehouse. The material is paid for as the boxes are carried inside.
What would new stairs cost?
A new hardwood tread is $60 each, and that includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing steps that are in good shape can be refinished at $50 per step.
When is payment due?
Labor is paid on the morning the crew arrives to start. When we sand, you pay half at the beginning and half with the final coat.
What does the warranty cover?
Our labor is warranted for a year, and the boards carry their maker's warranty. All installers on site are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
