Material is stored at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts the boxes at your Rutherford door while the crew is booked and ready.
Our estimator sets oak, ash and engineered sample boards on the floor of your own home, where trim color and window light show whether a tone really fits.
Each installation is backed by twelve months on labor, and the boards keep the mill's own guarantee. Whoever walks through your door that week is paid by us directly.

Old pine subfloors in Victorian rooms are leveled and fastened so new oak sits flat for decades.

Wide engineered planks float across a sunroom slab without any glue under the boards.

Narrow porch steps and tight hallways in two family houses are cleared by our crew carrying every bundle.

Boards glued and nailed at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive stay firm over plywood in an upstairs unit.

Pale prefinished oak opens a dark Colonial dining room on a tree lined street.

Foyer boards near the front door take a harder topcoat to handle winter salt and slush.



Budget $2.25/Sq Ft to nail boards down, $2.50 with adhesive added, or $2.00 to float engineered planks. Our own raw oak finishes at $5.50/Sq Ft all in, and prefinished at $6.00.
Yes, because we shim or plane high and low areas and fasten the subfloor first. Houses this age move, and we plan for it during the visit.
Engineered boards are the usual answer over heated floors, with limits on temperature set by the maker. We confirm the system before ordering.
That is part of our service at about $1.00/Sq Ft, with the waste hauled off in our truck. Staples, tack strips and soft spots are dealt with in the same pass.
Moving is a flat $250. Plenty of owners empty one room at a time and skip the fee.
Two prefinished bedrooms are typically finished before the weekend if we start Monday. Unfinished oak sanded and coated inside the house takes about a week.
Booking the estimate online saves $250, and material purchased from us carries up to 30% off.
Our own licensed and insured employees, with NWFA certification. Our workmanship is warranted for a year; the boards are backed by their manufacturer.
