One Year Install Warranty
Our workmanship is guaranteed for one year, while the wood carries the mill's own warranty, which leaves both the install and the material covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Shelton homes take straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet, and borders or inlays are priced at the visit. Historic Huntington houses lean toward herringbone, while condo lofts along the river prefer wide chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, which is the fastest layout and leaves little waste. A narrow Shelton hallway looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set at right angles in a zigzag and fitted by hand. A period match for a Huntington dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each row is mitered at 45 degrees and meets its partner in a neat V. Fits the open kitchens in remodeled Shelton capes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks run corner to corner on the diagonal, which makes a small condo kitchen look broader.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks turned grain against grain, the parquet look. A classic finish for a den near the river.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave oak, short pieces crossing under a darker border. Handsome in the front hall of an older house on Soundview Avenue.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Direct answers on price, timing and prep for hardwood installation in Shelton, from Canal Street up to White Hills.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood cost to install in Shelton?
A nail down oak floor is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, nails and underlayment included. Nail and glue runs $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, and floating engineered planks are $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can hardwood go into a converted factory condo?
Yes, usually floated or glued over the concrete or the existing subfloor. We check your association's rules on sound and hours before the crew arrives.
What does pulling up the old floor add?
Tear-out averages $1.00/Sq Ft. Your estimator confirms it once he knows what is under the surface.
Can the crew handle furniture?
We do, for a flat $250. Every room is cleared before work and restored after.
When are payments due?
The crew is paid on the morning it starts, and the material is paid for the day the boxes arrive. Reserving a date requires no deposit.
How fast can the wood reach Shelton?
The next day from our Milford warehouse, which is only a short drive away. Solid oak then rests in the house before nailing.
Can I see stain colors in my own light?
Yes. The estimator brings samples to the house and sets them on your floor beside the trim and windows.
How long are you responsible for the work?
One year on labor, with the manufacturer covering the wood. We send licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees only.
