/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Mount Washington rooms take straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts, and borders or inlays are priced once we have seen the space. Rustic lodges often prefer long straight runs, while formal parlors suit herringbone.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, wasting the least and stretching a compact cabin room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces laid at right angles in a zigzag, each cut by hand. A fitting choice for the dining room of an old mountain farmhouse.
Chevron Hardwood
Every board end is mitered so the rows meet in a clean V. Looks sharp across an open kitchen and living area.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks draw the eye across the room and make a small den seem wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with grain turned in alternate directions, in parquet style. Suited to a glassed-in porch facing the Taconics.
Basket Weave Parquet
Strips woven over and under, usually outlined by a darker border. A classic touch for an entry hall.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Mount Washington?
Nail-down labor holds at $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment counted in. Supplying the wood brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak replace worn carpet in a cabin?
Yes. The crew removes carpet and pad, pulls the tack strips, fixes soft subfloor and nails oak to a sound base.
What goes over a concrete slab?
An engineered floor floated on padding, glued at the joints so no nail touches the slab. Its labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate?
We do. LVP labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate $1.99/Sq Ft, both well suited to mudrooms and lower levels.
How quickly do materials show up?
One day after the order is placed, shipped out of the Natick warehouse. The crew then picks a start date with you.
How much are new hardwood stair treads?
Each new tread is $60, with riser, nosing and stain counted in. Existing stairs can be refinished at $50 per step.
How do payments work?
Labor is paid when work starts and material when boxes are delivered. A sanding job is billed in two equal parts: the first when we begin, the second when the last coat goes on.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, a year on labor from us and the manufacturer's coverage on the flooring. Everyone who installs for us is licensed and insured, with NWFA certification.
