Remeasure and Material Count

One Year Install Warranty
Twelve months of workmanship protection from us, layered with the warranty the wood's manufacturer already provides.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Pattern changes the whole mood of a room. Across town we lay oak in herringbone, chevron and parquet, on the diagonal, or in plain straight runs.
Straight Lay Hardwood
The familiar look, planks running end to end along the room's longest dimension with little waste.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces stacked in an offset zigzag, very handsome in a study.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered tips meeting dead center, forming arrows down a long foyer.
Diagonal Hardwood
Rows angled at forty five degrees draw the eye corner to corner and mask an out of square room.
Checkerboard Parquet
Small wood squares turned against each other, lending a dining room a tailored, old world feel.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of slim strips alternating direction like woven cane, a sweet touch for a library nook.
/ OUR SERVICES
North Reading Hardwood Floor Installers
Colonials along Park Street, ranches near Clarke Park and early 1900s cottages by Martins Pond all follow the same rhythm with us. Felt rolls out first, solid oak is cleated in course by course toward the last wall, and the result stays tight and silent through dry January heat and sticky July afternoons near the river.

Additional Floor Work in North Reading
Hardwood is our headline, yet the same crew also puts in LVP, laminate, sanded and recolored oak, spot fixes for damaged strips and brand new staircase treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Cost, calendar and clearing the rooms are what North Reading homeowners raise first at the walkthrough, so we answered those up front.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateGive me a number: new hardwood per square foot?
Cleating solid oak into plywood is $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, felt included. Packages using our wood are installed too: unfinished at $5.50/Sq Ft, or prefinished North Reading favorites at $6.00/Sq Ft.
My carpet is glued to the subfloor. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Pulling up an existing floor typically runs around $1.00/Sq Ft, firmed up once we peek under a seam. Debris goes home in our truck.
We have a sectional and a piano. Help?
Our movers inside the crew charge one flat $250 to clear the rooms and refill them. Pianos may need specialty movers, but sofas, beds and dressers are no trouble.
Once ordered, when is the oak on my porch?
We hold stock in a Coventry warehouse, so most deliveries land the following day. Installation can start right after the cartons are inside.
Can I put hardwood in a finished basement?
Solid strips don't belong over concrete, so downstairs we float engineered wood on a pad. Expect $2.00/Sq Ft in labor, with nothing ever anchored into your slab.
Someone underbid you. Will you budge?
Yes. We guarantee the lowest price, so a lower written quote for matching work gets beaten, and material comes at contractor pricing either way.
What's the payment schedule?
You pay for material when it's dropped off and for labor the morning installers arrive. There's no big check sitting with us weeks ahead.
If a plank lifts next winter, then what?
We guarantee our labor twelve months, so we'd come back and correct it. The wood manufacturer's warranty runs alongside ours.
