Walkthrough Before We Start
Berkshire hill houses move with the seasons, so before nailing anything we check the subfloor, the thresholds and the stair landings for movement and soft spots.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts are all available in Monterey, and borders or inlays are priced after a site visit. Old farmhouse parlors often take herringbone, and new mountain-view builds tend to prefer long straight rows.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, the least wasteful pattern, and make a narrow cottage room seem longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short blocks laid at right angles in a zigzag, each trimmed by hand. Fitting for a dining room in a 19th-century Monterey farmhouse.
Chevron Hardwood
Every board end is mitered at 45 degrees so the rows close in a neat V. Handsome across an open kitchen and great room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set on the diagonal lead the eye across the space and make a small Lake Garfield sitting room feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares alternate their grain direction, parquet fashion. A traditional treatment for a screened porch turned sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, usually with a darker border. At home in the older houses toward Mount Wilcox.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, scheduling and preparation for hardwood floor installation in Monterey, from the lakes to Route 183.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat do you charge for hardwood installation in Monterey?
Our nail-down labor price in Monterey is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails plus underlayment folded in. With our oak, the package comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you lay oak in a seasonal cottage with an old subfloor?
Yes. The crew tears out what is there, secures or replaces weak sections and then nails new oak to a sound, level base.
What suits a concrete floor in a walkout level?
A floating engineered plank, glued at the seams over padding, so nothing pierces the slab. That route is $2.00/Sq Ft in labor.
Do you handle vinyl and laminate too?
We do. LVP labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and both stand up to wet boots at a mudroom door.
How fast do the boards get here?
Next day, straight from our warehouse in Natick. After delivery, we line up a start date that fits your schedule.
How much is a single new stair tread?
$60 for a new hardwood tread, which brings the riser, nosing and stain. Existing stairs can be refinished for $50 per step.
How are payments arranged?
Labor is paid at the moment work begins and material when the boxes arrive. Half of a sanding bill falls due at the outset and the other half once the last coat is on.
What protection comes with the work?
Our installation labor is under warranty for one year, and the planks have the maker's guarantee. Everyone on site is insured, licensed and NWFA certified.
