/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Shelburne floors can be straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal or parquet, and borders and inlays are priced when we visit. A Victorian and a newer ranch call for different patterns.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks running with the long wall install quickly and leave little waste. In a narrow village hall the rows lengthen the view.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short oak pieces zigzag at right angles, each one cut by hand. A good fit for the dining room of an older village house.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, boards form tidy Vs down the room. This works in the open kitchens of newer builds.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal boards pull the eye toward the far wall, so a small back room appears larger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned in alternating directions create the parquet look, a good match for an enclosed porch.
Basket Weave Parquet
Strips woven over and under, framed by a dark border, are a classic choice for the front room of a period home.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on cost, timing and prep for hardwood installation in Shelburne, from the village to Route 2.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Shelburne?
Labor for nail down is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment included. With the wood from us, the total comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
What can go over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood. It floats on foam with glued joints, so no fastener touches the slab. The labor for floating is $2.00/Sq Ft.
I have carpet everywhere in my village house. Could there be wood below?
Quite possibly. We lift a corner during the free estimate, and good boards may only need refinishing rather than a new floor.
Do you also handle vinyl plank and laminate?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, both useful for a basement den or an entry.
How quickly does the flooring show up?
The day after you place the order, out of our Natick warehouse. The wood then waits in the house until the crew is set to begin.
How much is a new oak tread for my stairs?
$60 per tread, with riser, nosing, stain and labor within that figure. Treads in good shape can be refinished at $50 per step.
When is payment due?
Labor is paid as the crew starts and material as the delivery lands. A sanding job is paid in two halves, the first when the machines start and the second after the last coat.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes, for a year on labor, along with the manufacturer's warranty on the wood. Licensing, insurance and NWFA certification cover every installer on the crew.
