Walkthrough Before We Start

We remeasure on the first morning, set cartons in the rooms where they will be used and lay out thresholds, so the nailer keeps a steady rhythm.

One Year Install Warranty
Our labor carries twelve months of warranty. Separately, the manufacturer warrants the planks, so you hold cover on both the work and the wood.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A pattern changes how a room feels. We lay straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet across Swampscott, and borders or inlays are priced after we see your space.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks laid parallel to the longest wall use the least wood and stretch a narrow cottage room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turned into a zigzag give a Victorian entry a handcrafted period look.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks cut at matching angles meet in a clean point, flattering the open plans of renovated homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards set on a 45 degree diagonal pull the eye across a small den and widen it.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, parquet style, restore a vintage feel to a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Woven strips running over and under, usually inside a border, add detail to a dining room in a home near Black Will's Cliff.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Swampscott
Our own employees leave the store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St in Natick and stay with a Swampscott job until the final sweep. In this house they unrolled underlayment, nailed oak strips tight and kept a small gap at the walls for the wood to breathe in summer humidity.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Swampscott
With the oak in place, our crew can also float laminate in a guest room, set vinyl plank in a damp basement, refinish hallways, stain, repair boards or rebuild stairs.

Questions about cost, start dates or prep for a Swampscott hardwood job? We answer them, from Beach Bluff to the Salem Finger.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Swampscott?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with the nails and underlayment inside. Add the lumber from our supply and the figure becomes $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished stock or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Our house is near the water. Will wood floors last?
With sound prep and a stable subfloor, yes. We check moisture first, and for damp areas we point you toward engineered boards or vinyl plank.
What can I put down on a poured basement floor?
Engineered hardwood, floated and glued at the joints, so no nail touches the concrete. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also work with vinyl plank and laminate?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, both popular for basements and entryways by the shore.
When would the wood show up?
The day after you order. It travels from our Natick warehouse, and we set the start date together at the free estimate.
How much are new oak stair treads?
A new tread is $60 with riser, nosing and stain included, while sound oak steps can be refinished for $50 each.
How is payment arranged?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives, material when boxes are delivered, and sanding in two equal halves, at the start and the final coat.
What guarantee do I get?
Our labor is guaranteed for a year, and the manufacturer stands behind the planks. Crews arrive licensed and insured, with NWFA credentials.
