Samples ride to your house in our truck. Hold the oak against your own trim and window light before you decide.
Our estimator brings a tape and a moisture meter, then notes each room, doorway and stair so the quote lists the whole scope up front.
Our labor is warranted for one year, and the boards have the maker's warranty on top. Our installers hold licenses, carry insurance and have NWFA certification.

Boards run with the long wall, which cuts waste and stretches a narrow Avenue A parlor.

Short pieces set in a zigzag at right angles, each one cut by hand. Suits a dining room in an old brick-era Turners Falls home.

Each plank end is mitered so rows meet in a V down the middle. Looks sharp in a bright open kitchen.

Planks turned 45 degrees pull the eye corner to corner, and a tight Montague City den seems to open up.

Squares of oak with the grain alternating, in the parquet tradition. A good call for a sun porch near Lake Pleasant.

Oak strips woven over and under, often framed by a darker border. A classic in the older rooms by the Millers River.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft and covers nails plus underlayment. Boards from us make the whole job $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
It depends on what is under there. We lift worn coverings, fix soft spots in the subfloor and then fasten oak to a flat, solid base.
Engineered planks that float on padding, glued at the joints, leave the slab untouched by nails. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, both handy in kitchens and mudrooms.
Deliveries leave our Natick warehouse for next-day arrival. Once the boxes are at your door, the crew sets the start.
A new hardwood tread is $60 with riser, nosing and stain counted in. Worn stairs we can instead refinish at $50 per step.
Labor is due when the crew shows up, and material when the boxes are delivered. Sanding splits into 50% at the start and 50% at the last coat.
One year on our labor, plus the manufacturer's coverage on your boards. The whole crew holds licenses and insurance, with NWFA certification behind the work.
