Walkthrough Before We Start
Strollers parked in the hall, work boots from the driveway and a dog that races to the door. A hard finished oak floor takes the daily load without complaint.

Cartons leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts them in your garage before the crew needs them.
Our estimator walks in with oak, engineered and prefinished boards and lays them beside your trim, so you judge the tone in South River light and not under a store bulb.
Each floor comes with one year on labor, and the boards keep the manufacturer warranty. Our own payroll crew sets every row, with no subcontractors.

Red oak nailed over fresh paper silences the creaks that old South River hallways have collected for decades.

Engineered planks float across a slab in a split level, so the lower floor needs no nails at all.

Stairs and tight doorways in a brick two family are nothing new to our crew, who carry every carton inside.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive holds boards flat over plywood in a postwar cape.

A soft gray prefinished oak brightens the dim living room of a narrow rowhouse.

A hard finish stands up to salt tracked in from winter roads along the busy avenues.



Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft nail down, $2.50 nail and glue plus adhesive, or $2.00 for floated engineered. Counting the boards from us, a finished job is $5.50/Sq Ft in raw oak or $6.00 prefinished.
It is, once we level the low spots and fasten any loose subfloor. Houses this age settle, so we plan the prep at your free visit.
Solid oak is not, but engineered planks floated over a moisture barrier are, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Our estimator reads the slab with a moisture meter during the first visit, before any product is named.
Tear-out of the existing floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft, with the debris loaded onto our truck. Squeaks and soft patches are repaired before new boards are laid.
Furniture moving is a flat $250 if you want us to clear and reset the rooms. Reserve the estimate on our website and $250 comes off the project.
A pair of prefinished bedrooms is usually finished within two days. Site finished raw oak needs sanding and curing between coats, so it runs nearer a week.
The warehouse in Long Branch, NJ loads your order and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings it to the house. No store pickup is needed.
Our own licensed, insured employees do the work, never subcontractors. Labor is warranted for one year, and the boards come with their own maker's coverage.
