Remeasure and Material Count
On the day of the job the room is measured once more, cartons get stacked inside and transitions are laid out at each opening, so the first nail goes in without hunting for parts.

One Year Install Warranty
Twelve months of warranty on our labor, together with the mill's warranty on the boards, mean both workmanship and wood are covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Stoneham homes mix tight cape rooms with open family kitchens. Each pattern the crew installs appears below, and borders or inlays are priced at your estimate.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, using the least wood and letting a narrow room look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at right angles form a zigzag that gives a dining room a classic woven look.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends at 45 degrees make each row meet in a point, a clean choice for an open plan kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks open up a small bedroom and disguise corners that are not quite square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain alternating form a parquet grid suited to a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave pairs short strips that change direction, a careful detail for a den in an older two-story house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Stoneham customers usually ask about the price, the schedule and which rooms to empty first. Plain answers are set out below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does a hardwood installation cost in Stoneham?
Hardwood nailed down is $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, nails and underlayment bundled in. Add our boards and the package becomes $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you replace wall-to-wall carpet in my cape?
Yes. The crew removes the carpet and padding, pulls the tack strips, repairs weak subfloor spots and then nails hardwood over sound plywood.
What do you recommend for a finished basement?
Engineered hardwood floated over underlayment with glued seams, since nothing is fastened into the slab. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you handle vinyl plank and laminate too?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, both a good fit for basements and playrooms.
What happens to my old floor?
Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft. If you would rather not lift furniture, moving it is a flat $250.
How fast do the boards get here?
The day after ordering, loaded at the Natick warehouse. Payment for material is due as the boxes arrive.
When do I pay for labor?
As soon as the crew arrives and begins. Sanding is the exception, paid 50% up front and 50% at the final coat.
What if something goes wrong later?
Our one year labor warranty answers for the work, and the manufacturer answers for the wood. You get licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees, not subcontractors.
