Flip-flops dragging grit up the hall, a beach cart parked by the door and a dripping umbrella after a summer storm. Oak under a hard finish deals with that all season.

Cartons are packed at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets them to your driveway so installers keep moving.
Our estimator lays oak, engineered and prefinished samples against your trim and sets them in the bright shore light, which tells you how a tone will really look on Absecon Island.
Every install has a year of labor coverage, and the boards keep the maker warranty. Payroll employees lay the floor, never subcontractors.

Narrow oak strips nailed to a leveled deck suit a bungalow where the old pine boards have given up.

Engineered planks hold their shape better when sea air pushes humidity up in August, which matters in a house this close to the water.

Raised houses mean a long stair to the front door, and each bundle is hand carried up without marking the railing.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards firm over plywood in a second floor addition.

A pale, wire brushed prefinished oak gives a beach house the airy tone owners ask for.

Sand reaches the foyer before any other room, so that floor gets the hardest finish we apply.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, and floated engineered planks are $2.00/Sq Ft. If we supply the wood, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft, installed.
Wood moves with moisture, so near the bay we favor engineered boards or a properly acclimated oak and a good finish. We read humidity at the estimate and recommend what fits.
The usual route is engineered plank floated on a moisture barrier, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft. A slab reading comes before any promise.
Yes, for about $1.00/Sq Ft with haul-away. Soft spots and loose boards are repaired first.
We do it for a flat $250. Reserving the estimate online takes $250 off the project.
A couple of prefinished rooms needs one or two days. Unfinished oak that gets sanded and sealed in place takes nearer a week.

Just our payroll crew, who hold licenses, insurance and NWFA certification. We warrant our labor for twelve months and the mill stands behind the boards.
