/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A salt air beach house, a year round cottage and a rental unit above a garage cost different amounts of wear. Here is how the wood is chosen for each.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Humidity swings at the shore move boards, so the crew leaves a proper expansion gap along each wall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Upstairs rental units take floating engineered planks that lay flat and hush the footsteps below.
Chevron Hardwood
Elevated homes with outside stairs are no trouble, since our crew carries each box up by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards held down with nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive stay put over plywood in a lightly built cottage.
Checkerboard Parquet
A light prefinished oak gives a beach cottage living room a bleached, airy tone.
Basket Weave Parquet
Sand tracked from the beach scratches soft finishes, so entry boards get a tougher coat.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does a hardwood floor cost for a Ship Bottom beach house?
Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 for nail and glue plus adhesive, and $2.00 for a floating engineered floor. With our boards the installed totals are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00 prefinished.
Does hardwood survive the humidity this close to the bay?
It does when it is installed with the right gaps and a moisture barrier where needed. We check moisture at the estimate and tell you if a different plank is wiser.
Can you work in a house on pilings?
Yes. We inspect the floor system from below when possible, and fasten or shim as needed before any board goes down.
Do you haul away my old carpet?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, and it goes on our truck with the staples and pad.
Can the work happen between summer renters?
Usually, since prefinished rooms take a day or two. We plan the dates with you at the first visit.
Is booking online cheaper?
Yes, the estimate booked online gets $250 off. Our crew will clear and reset the rooms for a flat $250 when you hand that job over.
How does the wood reach the island?
It comes from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch carries it over the causeway.
Who handles the work and what is guaranteed?
Our own licensed and insured employees, with one year on labor and the maker's warranty on the boards.
