/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Love the look of herringbone, chevron, or a border framing the living room? Patterns are no problem for our installers.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Plain parallel rows following the long wall, simple, timeless, and the least wasteful way to lay oak.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces locked heel to side, zigzagging like an old European library.
Chevron Hardwood
Angled ends meet in a line of points, guiding the eye from the door straight toward the far wall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Running the rows corner to corner can stretch a tight room visually and mask a wall that leans out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Little oak squares, each grain turned against its neighbor, a parquet grid that suits a dining nook.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of strips alternate direction across the floor in a woven pattern that rewards a second look.
/ OUR SERVICES
Shutesbury Hardwood Floor Installers
Houses tucked into the woods off Wendell Road see real winters and humid Augusts, so this one got extra attention: we screwed down every loose spot in the subfloor, rolled out fresh underlayment, then racked out solid oak and cleated it row by row toward the windows facing Shutesbury State Forest.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Down a dirt road or right in town, callers want three answers first: the total, the schedule, and whether the couch has to go somewhere.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation out here in the hill towns?
Same rate as anywhere else we work. Cleating solid wood costs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor. With our wood, figure $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished oak installed, or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Is there a surcharge for living way out on a back road?
No travel fee. Our square foot price stays identical whether you live on a paved road or down a long gravel driveway near the reservoir.
Our house heats with a woodstove. Does that matter for oak?
It can. Woodstoves dry the air hard in winter, so gaps open more. We check moisture before nailing and suggest a humidifier to keep the wood comfortable.
Solid oak on a basement slab, good idea?
Not solid oak. Below grade we float engineered planks over foam at $2.00/Sq Ft after testing the concrete for moisture first.
How long until the wood arrives?
Most orders roll out of Coventry and pull into your driveway one day later. Solid oak then sits inside for a little while to adjust before nailing.
What if old linoleum or carpet is still down?
Tear out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft, and that old flooring rides off in our truck, which spares you a Saturday trip to the transfer station.
When is the money due?
Install labor is handed over on arrival morning, and the wood is paid on delivery. Sanding projects get split, half day one, half at the end.
What does the warranty actually cover?
Twelve months of our workmanship, so if a plank lifts or a squeak develops from our work, we fix it. The mill covers defects in the wood itself.
