Walkthrough Before We Start
Older Oxford houses often have floors that have sunk or tilted over the decades, so our lead tests the subfloor, each threshold and the stairs before unpacking a carton.

Everyone who walks into your home holds a license, carries insurance and has earned NWFA certification, a safeguard that stays in place until the job is done.
The first thing our installers do is measure every room, then stage the boxes, trim and reducers by the work area so no time is lost searching for parts.
We stand behind our labor for a full year, and the wood arrives with its own manufacturer warranty, which protects both the work and the material.

Boards run parallel to the longest wall, which is both the quickest layout and the one with the least waste. A narrow ranch looks longer.

Short pieces are placed at right angles in a stepped weave, each one hand cut. It fits a dining room in a house from the mill era.

Board ends are mitered so each row meets in a sharp V. It flatters the open plans of newer homes near Barton Center.

Planks set on the diagonal send the eye across a room, so a modest den near Main Street feels wider.

Squares of oak alternate their grain for a parquet look, a traditional finish for a library or sunroom.

Thin oak strips woven over and under, often with a dark border. A natural fit for the oldest houses of Oxford.



Nail-down oak costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, with the nails and underlayment inside that price. Add our wood and you are at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. We lift the carpet, pad and tack strips, secure any soft spots in the subfloor, and lay the oak over firm plywood. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Engineered hardwood, floated over foam with glued joints so no nail touches the concrete. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Both. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl suits a damp basement or a laundry corner well.
The next day after ordering. Everything ships from our Natick warehouse, and the crew sets its start around the drop-off.
Each new tread is $60, including the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Old stairs that are still solid can be refinished at $50 per step.
Labor is due on the day the crew arrives, material when the boxes are unloaded, and sanding is split between 50% at the start and 50% with the last coat.
Yes, a one-year warranty on labor plus the maker's warranty on the wood. Our installers are fully licensed and insured, and each one is NWFA certified.
