/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal, parquet and basket weave all go in around Shirley, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Older village homes often prefer herringbone, and newer kitchens choose chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and they lengthen a narrow front room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards cut and set in a right-angle zigzag. A period detail for a dining room in a historic village house.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees form a tidy V and match the open plans in recent remodels.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid on the diagonal pull the eye across the room, so a compact kitchen seems to stretch.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain turned in alternate directions give the parquet look, nice in an entry or sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Thin strips woven over and under inside a contrasting border, at home in the oldest houses near Shirley Shaker Village.

My old village house has a sloping floor. Can hardwood still go in?
In most cases. We measure the slope at the estimate, plan the leveling or patching and put it in writing before you commit.

Engineered hardwood, floated over underlayment with glued seams. The labor is $2.00/Sq Ft, and no nails touch the slab.
Do you also install vinyl plank or laminate?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, both popular in kitchens and mudrooms.
How soon can the flooring be delivered?
Next day, straight from the Natick warehouse.
What do new stair treads cost?
A new tread is $60, and that includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Solid existing treads can be refinished for $50 per step.
How does payment work?
Labor gets paid on the crew's arrival, and material gets paid as the boxes come off the truck. Sanding is paid in halves, at the start and at the final coat.
Is the job under warranty?
Yes. Our labor is warranted for a year and the manufacturer covers the flooring. Our crew holds licenses and insurance, with NWFA certification.
