Walkthrough Before We Start
Older Taunton houses tend to settle unevenly, so the crew lead checks the subfloor, each doorway and the stairs before the first board goes down.

Every installer who walks into your home is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, which keeps you covered from the first nail to the last sweep.
The first visit is a tape measure and a notepad in every room. Boxes, trim and reducers get staged by the door so the install never stalls hunting for a piece.
You get twelve months on our labor from the day we finish, and the mill backs the wood with its own written warranty.

Straight lay follows the longest wall and wastes the least wood. It stretches a narrow living room on Taunton Hill.

Short pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag, each one cut by hand. A fit for a formal dining room near Church Green.

Each board end is cut at 45 degrees so the rows close in a sharp V. It looks best across an open plan living space.

Planks set at an angle to the walls pull the eye through the room and make a compact kitchen read bigger.

Parquet style squares of oak, each turned so the grain alternates from one block to the next. A natural for an entry or sunroom in an older Taunton house.

Short oak lengths woven over and under, most often framed by a darker border. A classic in the bigger rooms of homes near the Weir Bridge.



Labor for nail down oak is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are part of that number. If we also supply the wood, the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. The crew removes carpet, pad and staples, which runs about $1.00/Sq Ft, then screws down any loose plywood and lays the hardwood on a firm base.
Engineered hardwood, floated over padding with glued edges so nothing is nailed into the concrete. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and either one is a sound pick for a basement or a mudroom near the river.
Boxes leave our Natick warehouse and reach your door the next day. That keeps the start date close to the day you approve the estimate.
A new hardwood tread is $60 and includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Steps in good condition can instead be sanded and refinished at $50 each.
Labor is due on the day the crew arrives, and material is due when the boxes are delivered. On sanding work, half is due at the start and half at the last coat.
Yes, our labor carries a one year warranty and the wood carries the manufacturer's warranty. Everyone on our payroll crews holds a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
