Walkthrough Before We Start
Muddy boots from a day on the trails, a hallway full of school backpacks and a lab chasing the mail carrier. Hardwood with a tough finish takes all of it.

Your order leaves our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and arrives with next-day delivery from Long Branch, so the crew never stands around waiting for boxes.
Our estimator carries oak, maple and engineered samples into the house and lays them across your own floor, so the grain is judged under the light in your rooms.
Every floor gets one year of coverage on our labor, and the boards keep the maker warranty. Payroll employees lay each plank, with no subcontractors.

Oak nailed over a re-fastened subfloor quiets the squeaks that old Rockaway frame houses collect over the decades.

Engineered planks float over a concrete slab in a townhouse, and a pad underneath softens footsteps.

Steep driveways and narrow back steps on hillside streets do not slow us down, since our crew hand carries every bundle.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards tight over plywood in a split level with a lively kitchen.

A honey toned prefinished oak lifts a dim living room in a house tucked under the trees by the river.

Winter salt and slush tracked in from Main Street are no match for a hard satin finish on the entry boards.



Labor for nailed oak starts at $2.25/Sq Ft. Glued installs add adhesive at $2.50, floated engineered is $2.00, and with our material the totals are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00 prefinished.
Sometimes, if they are flat and sound. Otherwise we pull them and repair the base, since a house this age rarely has a level subfloor.
Yes, and engineered planks floated over a pad are the usual pick at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Tell us your association rules on sound and we build around them.
Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the old boards leave in our truck. Loose spots and squeaks get repaired before the first new board is set.
A booked online estimate earns $250 off. Clearing the rooms yourself is optional, because the crew packs and moves furniture at $250 flat.
Two rooms of prefinished boards go quickly, often inside two days. Site finished raw oak stretches toward a week because of the curing between coats.
The boards sit in our Long Branch, NJ warehouse, and the day after you order, a truck with next-day delivery from Long Branch brings them over.
Our own crews, never subcontractors. Labor is warranted for twelve months, and the mill stands behind the wood itself.
