One Year Install Warranty
Our workmanship is warranted for a year, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards, which puts cover on both the labor and the wood.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet are all installed in Newtown, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Main Street homes lean toward wide straight boards, while newer Walnut Tree Hill builds pick herringbone.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall for the least waste, which lengthens a narrow hall in a Hattertown Road cape.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards meet at right angles in a zigzag, each cut by hand. Suits a Main Street dining room well.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a clean V, which suits the open kitchens of newer Walnut Tree Hill homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid on the diagonal draw the eye across a room and make a compact Hattertown Road den feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain form a parquet panel, a traditional detail for a Main Street sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, often with a border, classic in the entry of an older Newtown colonial.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Newtown
The crew heads north from our store and warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays on a Newtown job until the last threshold is set. On this one they rolled underlayment, nailed oak tight and squared every doorway, the same routine from Main Street colonials to ranches off Hattertown Road.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Newtown
Oak installation fills much of our Newtown calendar, and the same crew also lays vinyl plank and laminate, sands, stains, swaps boards and builds stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood installation in Newtown, from Main Street to Sandy Hook.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Newtown?
In Newtown, nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included. Adding our oak makes the package $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you remove carpet in an old Main Street colonial?
Yes. Carpet, pad and tack strips come out, soft subfloor is secured and oak is nailed over sound plywood, with tear-out at about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What floor goes over concrete in a Newtown walkout?
Engineered hardwood, floated on padding with glued seams, so no nail touches the Sandy Hook slab. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank and laminate in Newtown?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, with vinyl the safer choice for a basement that runs damp.
How fast does flooring reach Newtown?
The day after you order, trucked up from the Milford warehouse. You pay for the boxes as they are unloaded at your door.
What does a new oak stair tread cost?
One new tread is $60, covering the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Stairs in sound shape can be refinished at $50 per step instead.
How does payment work on a Newtown job?
Labor is due when the Newtown crew arrives, and material on delivery. Sanding is paid half on day one, half after the final coat.
Is the installation under warranty?
Yes, one year on labor plus the maker's warranty on the flooring. Our Newtown crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
