/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A 1920s Tudor, a Georgian with original plaster and a modern build near Carnegie Lake each need a separate plan. Here is how wood is matched to house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Older Princeton houses often have a wavy deck, so we flatten and fasten it before laying a single strip.
Herringbone Hardwood
Wide white oak planks suit a Tudor living room with leaded windows and deep window seats.
Chevron Hardwood
Formal entries and narrow back stairs are no obstacle, because our crew carries every bundle inside.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards laid over plywood in a rear addition.
Checkerboard Parquet
A herringbone pattern in pale oak lifts a Palmer Square style condo with high ceilings.
Basket Weave Parquet
Mudrooms and side doors take the most abuse, so the finish there is chosen for hardness.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for hardwood in a Princeton home?
Plan on $2.25/Sq Ft for nailed oak, $2.50 plus adhesive when the boards are glued as well, and $2.00 for a floated engineered floor, all labor. Counting the lumber from us, a finished room costs $5.50/Sq Ft with raw boards and $6.00/Sq Ft with prefinished ones.
My 1920s Tudor has floors that dip. Can new oak still go in?
Yes, after low joists are shimmed and loose subfloor is secured. Houses of that age have moved a bit, so we allow for it from the first visit.
Can new boards blend with original floors in the next room?
They can. We choose species and width to suit the old strips, then stain and finish in layers until the transition is hard to spot.
Do you handle the tear-out?
Yes, for about $1.00/Sq Ft, with the debris hauled away. Squeaks and soft areas are repaired before the new floor goes down.
Is there a saving for booking through the website?
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. Furniture moving is available at a flat $250.
How long should I plan for?
Prefinished boards in two rooms take a day or two of crew time. Boards that arrive raw and get sanded and coated in place run nearer a week.
Where does material ship from?
Out of the warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and onto a truck for next-day delivery from Long Branch once you have ordered.
Who works in my house, and what is covered?
Our own licensed and insured employees, never subcontractors, with a one year labor warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on the boards.
