Salt trucked in on winter boots, a lab running laps through the kitchen and kids home from a ski weekend. Oak with a tough finish takes it without complaint.

Material is staged at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch means the boards are in your hallway before the crew arrives.
Samples of oak, hickory and engineered plank come to your front door, and we lay them on your own floor so the color is judged against Newton daylight and your trim.
Labor on your Newton floor is warranted for twelve months, and the boards keep their own manufacturer coverage. Every installer is on our payroll, licensed and insured, never a subcontractor.

Tongue and groove oak over a shimmed subfloor settles the sags that show up in century old parlors.

Floating planks go over a dry slab downstairs without any nails driven into the concrete.

Porches with steep steps near the center of town are fine, since two installers carry every bundle inside.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards tight over plywood in a hillside split level.

A pale prefinished white oak brightens a farmhouse kitchen that gets little sun in January.

Mudroom entries need a hard wearing finish, because snow melt and gravel arrive at that door every day.



Newton labor rates: $2.25/Sq Ft nail down, $2.50 plus adhesive for nail and glue, $2.00 for floated engineered. Include our boards and the installed rate is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
It is, once the low joists are shimmed and the loose subfloor is fastened. Houses this old settle unevenly, so we measure the slope at the free visit.
Engineered plank floated over a moisture barrier is the usual route at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. We test the slab for dampness before anyone orders material.
Pulling up the old floor costs roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, with the waste carried off by our truck. Any soft patch gets reinforced before a single new strip is nailed.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. If you want the couch and bookcases handled, furniture moving is a flat $250.
Two prefinished bedrooms are usually finished inside of two working days. Raw oak sanded and coated in your home takes about a week with curing.
Boards leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, with next-day delivery from Long Branch after you order.
No, our own employees do the work, backed by a one year labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the wood.
