/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Dreaming of herringbone, chevron, or an inlaid border in your front room? Our installers handle patterned layouts all the time.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows running along the longest wall, simple, timeless and the most efficient use of every carton.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short planks meeting end to side in a zigzag, a classic look for a front room near Prospect Hill.
Chevron Hardwood
Angled ends meet in a crisp point, drawing your eye down a long hallway toward the back windows.
Diagonal Hardwood
Laying the floor at an angle can make a small room feel wider and hide walls that are a bit out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Small squares of oak with the grain turned in alternating directions, a nice choice for a dining area.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of strips switch direction across the room for a woven look that holds up to a closer look.
/ OUR SERVICES
Somerville Hardwood Floor Installers
On this job a short walk from Union Square, the old carpet hid a subfloor with a few soft spots. We screwed those down tight, checked moisture, laid fresh underlayment, then nailed in solid oak and kept going right through the hallway so the rooms feel connected.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for new hardwood?
For solid oak nailed to your subfloor, labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, underlayment included. Buying the oak through us at contractor pricing? Then unfinished costs $5.50/Sq Ft with installation, or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you carry wood up to a third floor unit?
Yes. Our crew carries every carton up the stairs, so a top floor unit near Davis Square is no problem and costs nothing extra.
Do I need to tell my condo association?
Many associations have rules about underlayment and work hours. Send us those rules and we will plan the install to meet them.
How soon can the wood arrive?
Usually the next day, since we keep stock in our own Coventry warehouse. After delivery, solid oak needs a short stay indoors to adjust before nailing.
Is ripping up the old carpet part of the job?
We can do it. Removal is about $1.00/Sq Ft for carpet or old flooring, and we haul the debris away so nothing ends up on the sidewalk.
Will you move the couch and beds?
Our crew can, for a flat $250. Sofas, beds and bookcases go into another room before we start and return once the new floor is finished.
When is payment due?
Labor is settled the morning the installers start, and for any wood from us when it is delivered. We never ask for money months in advance.
Is the installation guaranteed?
Yes. We back every installation in Somerville for a year on labor, while the company that made your hardwood has its own warranty on the product.
