Remeasure and Material Count
On day one we recount every carton, stage the trim by each opening and square the first row off the straightest wall, so the rest of the floor stays true.

One Year Install Warranty
You get one year on our labor, and the mill that made the wood stands behind the boards themselves.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all fit Waltham rooms, and borders get priced during the visit. Grand older rooms near Gore Place suit herringbone, while plain open layouts suit chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run along the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at right angles in a zigzag, each one cut by hand. It suits a formal dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a neat V, a good fit for a wide-open kitchen and living space.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks angled across the room pull the eye outward and make a modest kitchen feel roomier.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned in alternating directions give a sunroom the look of old parquet.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often with a darker border, a traditional touch for older Waltham dining rooms.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers about cost, scheduling and preparation for hardwood installation across Waltham, from Gore Place to the reservoir.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Waltham?
For a nail-down floor in Waltham the labor rate is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment folded in. Add the oak itself and a full package lands at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
My Waltham house has old carpet. Can you pull it and put in hardwood?
Yes. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, then reinforces any weak spots in the subfloor before nailing the new boards. Hauling out the old surface adds roughly $1.00/Sq Ft.
What works over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam, with glue in the joints, so nothing is driven into the concrete. That method is $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Do you also do glue-down jobs?
We do nail-and-glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus the adhesive, which makes a stiffer, quieter floor in kitchens and hallways.
Can the furniture be moved for me?
Yes, we handle it for a flat $250 so you are not lifting dressers the night before.
How do delivery and payment work?
Material arrives next day from our Natick warehouse. Labor is paid when the crew arrives, and material is paid as the boxes are delivered.
Is there a discount on materials?
Up to 30% off material bought through us, and $250 off when you book the free estimate online. The estimate happens at your house with samples in hand.
What protects me if something goes wrong?
A one-year labor warranty from us, the manufacturer warranty on the wood, and a crew that is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
