Walkthrough Before We Start

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Sheffield floors come in straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet, and borders or inlays are priced at the estimate. An old farmhouse and a newer home suit different layouts.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards laid along the longest wall go fastest and waste the least wood. In a long farmhouse parlor the rows lead the eye down the room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short oak lengths turned square into a zigzag, each trimmed by hand. It looks right in the dining room of an older Berkshire house.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards cut at 45 degrees meet in neat Vs along the room. This suits the bigger open kitchens of newer houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards on the diagonal draw the eye to the far corner, which makes a small mudroom feel less cramped.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares are laid so the grain alternates, a parquet look that suits a porch turned into a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow strips are woven over and under and bordered in a dark wood, a classic for the front parlor of an old house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers about pricing, scheduling and preparation for hardwood installation in Sheffield, from Ashley Falls to the Konkapot River.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much will hardwood installation cost in Sheffield?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, including nails and underlayment. Adding the wood through us makes it $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
What goes over a concrete slab in an addition?
Engineered planks, floated over foam with glue in the joints, so nothing is nailed into the slab. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
My farmhouse has carpet in every room. Is there wood beneath?
Often there is. We lift a corner at the free estimate, and sound boards may just need a refinish rather than a replacement.
Can you also lay vinyl plank and laminate?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, useful for a mudroom or a basement office.
When would the boxes arrive?
Next day, as soon as you order, with the boxes coming off the shelves in Natick. The wood then settles in the house before installers begin.
What is a new oak stair tread?
It is $60 per tread, covering riser, nosing, stain and labor. Good existing treads can be refinished for $50 per step.
How do payments work?
Labor is paid as the crew starts and material as the delivery arrives. Sanding is split evenly between day one and the last coat.
Do you back your work?
We do, with one year on labor and the manufacturer's warranty on the wood. Everyone who installs for us has a license, a policy behind them and NWFA credentials.
