Walkthrough Before We Start
Before anything is ordered, our lead installer crawls the floor system, listens for soft spots and measures the thresholds. Old farm frames in town often have hills and valleys worth knowing about.

Remeasure and Material Count
We come back on the first working morning to re-measure, then park the cartons in the rooms they belong to and lay out the trim pieces ahead of the first nail.

One Year Install Warranty
Our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the wood comes with the mill's own coverage, so a mistake on either side has a place to go.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Direction and pattern change how a room reads. We install straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet, and borders get a price after a look at the room. Wide straight boards fit a farmhouse parlor; herringbone belongs in a formal entry.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Straight rows along the longest wall waste the least material and give a long farmhouse room a calm line.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short oak pieces set in a V pattern lend a front hall a tailored, formal air.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered to a point suit the open plans of newer houses in the Pompositticut Plantation area.
Diagonal Hardwood
A 45 degree diagonal run pulls the eye sideways, so a small den seems to widen.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned in alternating directions make a sunroom floor feel classic and handmade.
Basket Weave Parquet
Woven pieces edged with a dark border look right in an older colonial dining room.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Flooring Installers in Stow
The crew leaves our Natick store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St and sticks with a Stow house to the end. In this one they rolled out underlayment, nailed oak strips tight across the room and left a small gap by each wall so the boards can swell in summer, the same care we bring from Lower Village to the Assabet River.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Stow
Once the oak is nailed, the crew has more to offer: vinyl plank for a wet lower level, laminate for a spare room, sanding, staining, board repair and stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Find out what hardwood installation in Stow involves, from budget and prep to the wood itself, whether your house is on Lake Boon or in Lower Village.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation in Stow?
We charge $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down labor, and the nails and underlayment are in that. If the boards come from our warehouse as well, the package lands at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
My farmhouse floors are uneven. Is that a problem?
Not usually. We check the subfloor, fasten or shim what needs it, and nail the new oak to a sound base.
What can go over the slab in a walkout basement?
Floating engineered hardwood. It sits on underlayment with glued seams, so nothing gets nailed into concrete, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can the same crew do vinyl plank or laminate in other rooms?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, so you do not need a second company.
Can you get materials to Stow quickly?
Orders go out the next day from our Natick warehouse, which keeps your project moving.
What are new oak stair treads?
Each is $60 including riser, nosing and stain. Sound existing stairs can instead be refinished at $50 per step.
What is the payment schedule?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and sanding is split between the start and the last coat.
What if a board fails later?
A year of labor warranty is ours, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards. The installers are our own, with license, insurance and NWFA certification.
