/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We install straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in Northfield, and borders and inlays are priced on site. Century-old homes often take herringbone, and newer plans prefer a calm straight run.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running boards parallel to the longest wall cuts waste to a minimum and makes a narrow room look deeper.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards locked at right angles in a stepped pattern are each cut and fit by hand, an apt choice for a dining room in an old village home.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitering each board at 45 degrees makes the rows meet in a sharp V, which suits a modern open kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set diagonally draw the eye across the room and give a small kitchen more reach.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with alternating grain, laid parquet style, bring character to a sunroom with river views.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under, usually with a dark border, belong in the older houses near Northfield Seminary.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Direct answers on pricing, timing and room prep for new hardwood in Northfield, from West Northfield out to the Connecticut River.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation in Northfield?
Labor for nail-down work is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. Counting the material, an unfinished package is $5.50/Sq Ft and a prefinished one is $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can hardwood go where old carpet is now in my farmhouse?
Yes. Old flooring comes out at about $1.00/Sq Ft, we fix weak spots in the subfloor, and then the hardwood is nailed to solid plywood.
What do you put over a concrete floor?
Engineered planks that float on padding with glued joints, so no nail reaches the slab. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank and laminate floors?
Yes to both. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl suits a wet basement or mudroom.
When do the floorboards get to my house?
The day after you order, straight from our Natick warehouse. Your estimator sets the installation date once the order is in.
What is the cost of new oak treads?
Every new tread costs $60, with the riser, nosing, stain and labor all in. Sound stairs can instead be refinished for $50 per step.
How do payments work?
The crew gets paid for labor the day they arrive, and the boxes are paid for as they are unloaded. A sanding job splits 50% at the start and 50% with the last coat.
Is there a warranty on the work?
Yes, we back the labor for one year and the manufacturer backs the boards. Licenses, insurance and NWFA certification are held by each installer on our payroll.
