/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The pattern you choose sets the tone of a room. Around Northampton we install herringbone, chevron, parquet, diagonal layouts and simple straight runs.
Straight Lay Hardwood
The timeless choice: planks running lengthwise down the room, with very little waste.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a staggered zigzag, lovely in a home study.
Chevron Hardwood
Angled ends meeting in a point, making arrows down a long front hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Rows laid at 45 degrees draw your eye across the room and hide walls that aren't quite square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Small wooden squares turned in alternating directions, a tailored look for a formal dining room.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of narrow strips switching direction like a basket weave, a charming detail in a reading nook.
/ OUR SERVICES
Northampton Hardwood Installation Crew
Old houses near Smith College, newer homes off Route 10 and Florence capes a few blocks from Look Park all get the same careful routine. Felt goes down first, then solid oak is nailed row by row toward the far wall, and it stays snug and silent through dry furnace winters and humid river-valley summers.

Hardwood is what we're known for, but the same crew installs LVP and laminate, sands and restains older oak, repairs damaged sections and builds new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Most Northampton homeowners ask about price, scheduling and furniture first, so here are straight answers to those.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does new hardwood cost per square foot in Northampton?
Nailing solid oak over plywood is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, felt underlayment included. When the oak comes from us, unfinished costs $5.50/Sq Ft installed. For prefinished oak, it's $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you remove my old carpet or vinyl before you start?
Yes. Taking out an existing floor is typically around $1.00/Sq Ft, and we confirm the exact number once we've looked under a corner. We haul the debris away too.
Does your crew handle moving the furniture?
Yes, for a flat $250. The crew clears the rooms before work starts and sets everything back afterward. Pianos and gun safes may need a specialty mover.
Is nail and glue worth the extra cost?
For wide planks it often is. Labor is $2.50/Sq Ft and the adhesive is billed separately, but the glue helps keep wide planks flat through Connecticut River valley humidity.
How quickly can the wood get here?
Most orders ship from Coventry the morning after you place them. Solid wood then sits in your home to acclimate before we install, and we'll tell you how long at the estimate.
How is a hardwood install paid for?
Material is paid for when it's delivered to your house, and labor on the morning installation begins. There's no large deposit weeks ahead of time.
Can you beat a quote I got from someone else?
Yes. With our lowest price guarantee, we'll come in below any written quote for matching wood and scope, and contractor pricing on material helps us do it.
Who will actually be working in my house?
People who work for us directly, every one NWFA certified, licensed and insured. We don't use subcontractors, so the people at your door are the people we trained.
