Walkthrough Before We Start
Mud tracked in from Edgemont Park, a teenager's cleats dropped at the door and a dining table dragged out for the holidays. Oak with a hard finish takes that every week.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A Tudor with a sunroom, a prewar apartment near Watchung Plaza and a hillside colonial each ask for their own method. Here is what we pick for each.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak nailed across a repaired subfloor quiets the groaning hallways common in houses built before the war.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float on a pad in an upper floor apartment, which keeps footsteps from carrying to the neighbors below.
Chevron Hardwood
Steep driveways and long porch stairs on the hill streets are fine, since the crew walks every bundle in by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid over plywood in a split level near Bloomfield Avenue go down with nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Checkerboard Parquet
A pale prefinished oak with a matte coat suits a sunny Montclair kitchen that opens onto the yard.
Basket Weave Parquet
Entry halls take the worst of the winter slush, so we finish those boards with a coat that wipes clean.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Montclair?
Labor starts at $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, climbs to $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, and drops to $2.00 for a floated engineered floor. With boards from us the installed figure is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Our 1920s house has sloping floors upstairs. Will new boards still lie flat?
They will once we shim or plane the low spots and refasten loose subfloor. Houses of that age settle unevenly, so we map it out at the free visit.
Can hardwood go into a condo near the train station?
Floated engineered planks over a sound pad are the usual route, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft. Get your association's underlayment rules first and we build around them.
Will you pull up the carpet or old planks?
Old carpet or planks come up for about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the debris rides out on our truck. Nail pops and soft patches get repaired before any new strip is laid.
Do I get anything off for booking online?
Yes, $250 comes off when you book the estimate through the website.
How many days will a whole first floor take?
Most first floors need three to five days, depending on square footage and stairs. The estimator gives you a firm schedule at the visit.
Where is my flooring stored before the install?
It sits at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and comes by next-day delivery from Long Branch. Nothing is stacked in your house until the crew is ready.
Whose crew shows up, and what stands behind the work?
Licensed, insured crews employed by us do the work, with NWFA certification behind it. You get one year on labor and the manufacturer's warranty on the wood.
