Your order is pulled at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, then trucked over with next-day delivery from Long Branch, so the crew spends no time waiting.
Oak, engineered and prefinished sample boards ride in our estimator's truck, and we rest them against your baseboards so the tone is judged in your actual rooms.

A tougher coat on the mudroom boards handles winter salt and wet boots.



Labor comes to $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 for nail and glue with adhesive charged separately, and $2.00 for floated engineered planks. When you buy through us, installed oak is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
We level low spots and secure loose planks first, which is routine in houses of that age. We mark the problem areas at the first visit.
Floated engineered boards are the safe route there, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Before anything is ordered, we take a moisture reading on the slab.
We pull it up and haul it away for about $1.00/Sq Ft, then repair any weak subfloor.

A couple of prefinished rooms usually run two days. Raw boards sanded and coated in the house take nearer a week.
