Lacrosse cleats by the back door, a snowy driveway and a golden retriever skidding around the kitchen island. Oak with a hard coating shrugs that off.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Older center hall homes, hillside split-levels and updated ranches each want their own approach. This is how we fit the wood to the house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak nailed over a leveled subfloor ends the creak in an older center hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Wide engineered planks float over a finished basement and keep the family room warm underfoot.
Chevron Hardwood
Split-level front steps are no obstacle, because our crew walks each carton inside.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards still over the plywood in a hillside ranch.
Checkerboard Parquet
A light prefinished maple opens up a sunroom looking toward Watchung Reservation trees.
Basket Weave Parquet
Thresholds and stair noses are cut from the same oak so each room joins the next cleanly.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will hardwood installation run in Scotch Plains?
Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50/Sq Ft for nail and glue plus adhesive, and $2.00/Sq Ft for a floating engineered floor. Buying boards from us puts a finished job at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak go over the old hardwood in my 1920s colonial?
Usually we pull the old boards or sand them flat first, since fresh oak needs a solid and even base. We examine the floor at the estimate and tell you which route is better.
Is hardwood a fit for a finished basement here?
Engineered hardwood floated over a pad is the usual choice, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We test for moisture before anything is ordered.
Will you haul away my old carpet?
Yes, removal is about $1.00/Sq Ft and it leaves in our truck. Squeaks in the subfloor are fixed before new wood goes down.
Can I trim the estimate by booking online?
When you reserve the visit on our website, $250 is deducted. A flat $250 covers shifting furniture if you want help.
What timeline should I expect?
Prefinished rooms take a day or two each. Raw oak that is sanded and coated after install runs nearer a week.
How does the wood reach my house?
The boxes start at our Long Branch, NJ warehouse and come to Union County by next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who comes to my house and what guarantee follows?
Our own employees, never subcontractors. A year of labor coverage applies, along with the manufacturer's warranty on the wood.
