Walkthrough Before We Start
Mud tracked in from a wooded yard, hockey bags dropped at the door and a lab shaking off the Ramapo River. A hard-finished oak floor takes that week after week.

Orders leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and reach Oakland with next-day delivery from Long Branch, which means the crew starts on a fixed date rather than waiting on a truck.
Bring the samples to the room and the grain looks different than it did in a showroom, so we set oak, maple and engineered pieces on your own subfloor under your own windows.
Labor is covered for one year after the last board is set, and the boards carry the manufacturer's warranty. The installers are salaried staff, fully licensed and insured.

Red oak fastened to a flat plywood subfloor keeps a family room over a crawl space solid and quiet.

Wide engineered planks float over a dry slab in a lower level, so a basement den gets the warmth of wood without nails.

Steep driveways and long front walks on wooded lots do not slow us down, because the crew carries each carton to the room.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive is the choice when oak must be bonded over plywood in a raised ranch.

A staircase landing that opens into an oak hallway looks best when board direction and stain follow the same line.

Leaves and wet boots arrive through the mudroom in autumn, so a durable satin finish matters on the entry boards.



Labor for nail-down is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue is $2.50 plus adhesive, and a floating engineered install is $2.00. Supplied by us, unfinished boards total $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished total $6.00.
Yes, once we confirm the plywood is flat and fastened. Nail and glue is often the better method there, at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Engineered planks floated over a dry slab are the usual answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We check for moisture at the estimate before recommending anything.
We do, for about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we take the debris with us. Loose or squeaky subfloor is fixed before the first new board.
Reserve your free estimate online and $250 comes off the job. If you want us to shift furniture, that is a flat $250.
Expect roughly two days for a couple of prefinished rooms. Unfinished oak that is sanded and coated in the house takes closer to a week.
Our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ stocks it, and the truck reaches Oakland with next-day delivery from Long Branch once you confirm.
Our own employees, never subcontractors, who are licensed and insured. Twelve months cover the labor, and the mill's own warranty stays with the wood.
