Walkthrough Before We Start
Hillside lots and two hundred year old framing leave floors that dip, so our lead checks the subfloor, thresholds and stairs of your Washington home first.
Hillside lots and two hundred year old framing leave floors that dip, so our lead checks the subfloor, thresholds and stairs of your Washington home first.
The crew in your home is on our payroll with a license, insurance and NWFA credentials, never a stranger from a subcontract list.
Day one starts with a tape measure. Cartons, trim and reducers then wait by the door in installation order, which keeps the pace steady.
We back our labor for a full year, and the oak keeps the mill's own warranty, which puts both the installation and the material under cover.

Rows follow the longest wall, a quick layout that wastes little wood. It stretches a long farmhouse front room.

Short boards set at right angles in a zigzag, each fitted by hand. Period correct for a dining room in a Greek Revival.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees so every row closes in a clean V. Fits open kitchens added to older homes.

Boards on the diagonal carry the eye across the room, which makes a small farmhouse kitchen feel bigger.

Square oak blocks turned grain against grain, the parquet look. A traditional finish for a library or sunroom.

Basket weave oak, short pieces crossing over and under inside a darker border. Classic in the front hall of an old house off Kirby Road.



Labor for nail down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included; nail and glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, and floating engineered boards are $2.00/Sq Ft.
Usually yes. We measure how far it drops, level what can be leveled, and list any extra prep in dollars on the estimate.
About $1.00/Sq Ft in Washington. The estimator names the real number once he has seen the layers under the surface.
Yes, for a flat $250 the crew empties the rooms and puts every piece back when the floor is finished.
Labor is paid the day the crew arrives and begins. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and nothing is needed to hold a date.
No. Samples come to your Washington door, and delivery from Milford is next day once you order.
The lead scribes boards to crooked walls and fits around posts and chimney bases by hand. Expect a bit more cutting time in a house this old.
One year on our labor and the manufacturer's term on the wood. The men and women on your floor are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
