Walkthrough Before We Start
Muddy cleats after a weekend game, a backpack dropped in the hall and a lab racing for the door. A hard oak floor takes that routine and ages well.

One Year Install Warranty
Labor is guaranteed for one year, and the manufacturer stands behind the wood itself. Every installer is on our payroll and none is a subcontractor.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A center hall Colonial, a stone Tudor and a townhouse near the train station each call for their own layout. Here is how we choose the wood for each.
Straight Lay Hardwood
White oak laid straight through the first floor of a Colonial runs from the front door to the kitchen without a break.
Herringbone Hardwood
Floating engineered planks suit a townhouse near the station, where the slab below needs a quiet pad.
Chevron Hardwood
Steep driveways on the hillside streets do not slow the crew, since we carry every bundle in by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards tight over plywood in a split level.
Checkerboard Parquet
A rich walnut look in a Tudor dining room starts with a prefinished plank in deep brown.
Basket Weave Parquet
In a long hallway the boards run parallel to the main sightline, which makes the house feel longer.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Summit?
Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft to nail down, $2.50 to nail and glue with adhesive extra, and $2.00 to float engineered planks. Counting the boards from us, installed unfinished oak is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00.
My Colonial has a sloping hallway. Can new oak still go in?
Usually yes, once we shim or level the low sections and fasten the subfloor. We measure the slope at the estimate so the plan is settled before work starts.
Can hardwood go in a basement here?
Engineered boards floated over a vapor barrier are the safer choice below grade, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid nail down oak stays on the upper floors.
Will you pull up the carpet or old floor?
We do, at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft with disposal included. Staples, tack strip and loose plywood are dealt with before new wood goes down.
Do you move furniture and is there an online discount?
Furniture moving is a flat $250. Booking your estimate online takes $250 off.
How many days will a main floor take?
Prefinished planks in a living and dining room usually finish in two days. Unfinished oak that is sanded and coated inside the house stretches to nearly a week.
Where does the wood come from?
It leaves our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings it to your driveway.
Who installs the floor and what is covered?
Our own licensed and insured crew does the work, and nobody is subcontracted. Labor is warranted for twelve months and the boards keep their manufacturer coverage.
