Walkthrough Before We Start
Boots tracked in from a snowy walk, hockey bags dropped in the mudroom and a lab sliding across the foyer. Finished oak takes that winter after winter.

Every order ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts the wood on your property while the crew is ready to begin.
Our estimator brings oak, hickory and engineered samples and sets them on your own subfloor, so the color you choose is the one you see in a Morris County window.
Labor is covered for one year after the last board is down, and the lumber keeps its manufacturer warranty. Licensed employees on our payroll lay every floor, with no outside subs.

Old pine joists flex and settle, so we fasten extra and let the oak run true across them.

Engineered planks glued over a new slab addition stay stable as the temperature swings.

Long driveways and steep entry steps do not slow us, because our crew walks each box in by hand.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive pulls strip floors tight over the plywood in a raised addition.

A pale prefinished hickory brings light into a north facing study and hides everyday dust.

Road salt and slush ride in on shoes, so entry boards get a hardened topcoat that repels them.



Labor for nail down is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue is $2.50 with adhesive extra, and a floated engineered install is $2.00. Buying boards through us puts unfinished at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00 installed.
It is something we plan for. At the estimate we find the low spots, shim or sister the framing where needed, and then lay the oak over a flat plane.
Engineered planks are the usual route, floated over a moisture barrier for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid strips are not recommended on concrete.
We will. Removal runs about $1.00/Sq Ft and includes hauling it off, and squeaks get fixed before new boards go in.
Yes, $250 comes off. If you prefer us to clear the rooms, furniture moving is a flat $250.
Two or three prefinished rooms usually finish in one to two days. Oak sanded and coated in the house takes nearer a week.
