Walkthrough Before We Start
Before any board is opened, the lead installer crosses the house with a straightedge and a moisture meter. Sags, damp plywood and doorways that sit at odd heights go on a list for the crew.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The direction of the boards sets the mood of a room before color does. Browse these patterns, then tell us which one belongs in your house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards running with the longest wall waste the least material and give a family room a steady, unfussy look.
Herringbone Hardwood
A zigzag of short pieces, each cut and fitted by hand, gives a formal dining room an old-fashioned feel.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron ends meet in crisp points that pull the eye along a long open floor plan.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards on a 45 degree run stretch a slim bedroom and cover a wall that drifts out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet blocks with alternating grain make a tidy pattern beneath a kitchen table.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven in an over-under basket, edged with a darker border, suit an office or reading nook.
/ OUR SERVICES
Marlborough Hardwood Flooring Contractors
From streets near the Connecticut Path to subdivisions beside the Massachusetts Turnpike, each floor starts by stripping the old surface to plywood. In this house the crew spread underlayment, nailed oak down row after row and left a narrow space at every wall for seasonal swelling. Taking up what was there before runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
More Floor Services in Marlborough
When the oak is done, the same crew can turn to vinyl plank for the basement, laminate for a guest room, a hall refinish, a couple of board repairs or a set of new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Marlborough owners usually want to know the price, the earliest start and what has to leave the room. The questions below settle all three.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will hardwood cost me in Marlborough?
Labor for a nailed-down floor is $2.25/Sq Ft, with the nails and underlayment counted in. If the wood comes from us, unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft installed, and material can be up to 30% off.
Will you rip out my existing carpet or tile?
Yes. Tear-out averages $1.00/Sq Ft and the old material leaves with us. Shifting furniture out of the room and back is a flat $250.
Which floor goes over a basement slab?
Floating engineered hardwood. It sits on underlayment with glued seams, so the concrete is left alone, and the labor rate is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can one crew also handle vinyl plank and laminate?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, so one visit can cover the whole house.
How long until the boxes arrive?
They are delivered the next day from our Natick warehouse. You pay for the material when the boxes reach the house.
What do replacement stair treads cost?
Each new hardwood tread is $60, including riser, nosing, stain and labor. Stairs that are still sound can be refinished for $50 per step.
When do I hand over money?
Labor is paid when the crew shows up and starts. If sanding is part of the job, half is due at the start and half at the last coat.
What protection comes with the floor?
Our labor is guaranteed for a year, and the manufacturer stands behind the wood. Crew members are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
