Walkthrough Before We Start
Millis houses often combine an old core with newer additions, and the floor heights seldom match, so our lead tests levels, thresholds and stairs before laying anything.

Each person we send holds a license and insurance and has passed NWFA certification, so your home stays covered until the final cleanup.
Step one is a tape in every room. After that the cartons, trim and reducers are staged near the door in the order the crew needs them.
Our workmanship is warranted for twelve months, and the lumber maker backs the boards separately. That is two layers of protection for one floor.

Running boards along the longest wall wastes the least lumber and goes quickest, and it lengthens a narrow hall.

Each short piece is cut by hand and set at right angles to the next, a zigzag that suits a traditional dining room.

Mitered at 45 degrees, rows meet along a center seam. A clean look for an open kitchen that flows into the living area.

Boards set on the diagonal send the eye to the far corner, which helps a tight kitchen feel roomier.

Squares of oak whose grain alternates direction. Parquet like this is a classic for a sunroom.

Narrow strips woven over and under, usually edged by a darker border, suit a front parlor in an older house.



Labor for nail-down is $2.25/Sq Ft, and that includes the nails and underlayment. Should we supply the wood too, the installed rate is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. The carpet, pad and tack strips are hauled off, weak spots in the subfloor are fastened down, and the oak goes onto solid plywood. Hauling away the old flooring adds about $1.00/Sq Ft.
An engineered plank that floats on underlayment and is glued at the joints, so the slab is never drilled or nailed. The labor rate for it is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do. We charge $2.00/Sq Ft to lay vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft to lay laminate. For a basement that gets damp, vinyl is the better choice.
Next day. The boxes ship out of our Natick warehouse and are delivered to your house.
Each new hardwood tread is $60, with the riser, nosing, stain and labor already counted. If your current treads are in good shape, refinishing them is $50 per step.
Labor is paid as the crew begins work, and material is paid as the boxes are delivered. Sanding is divided evenly, with one half at the start and the other half at the final coat.
Yes. Our labor is guaranteed for one year, and the manufacturer warrants the boards. The installers we send carry a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
