/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Board direction decides how a room reads. We lay straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet, as the examples below show.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows that follow the longest wall are the classic lay, quick to install and light on waste.
Herringbone Hardwood
A zigzag of short boards gives a dining room an old-world, woven character.
Chevron Hardwood
Board ends cut at an angle meet as arrows that lead the eye the length of a corridor.
Diagonal Hardwood
Set at 45 degrees, the rows widen a narrow bedroom and disguise a wall that is a bit out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares turned against each other form a neat grid beneath a dining table.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave flips short strips in alternating squares, a crafted accent for a study or sunroom.
/ OUR SERVICES
Washington Hardwood Flooring Installers
Our crew comes out from the Natick shop and works through each house without handing it off to anyone else. On this job they rolled underlayment over the plywood, nailed oak course after course and left a thin expansion gap at every wall for the humid months.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS

When the oak is finished, the crew can also lay vinyl plank, click together laminate, refinish a worn room, stain it, patch a few boards or fit oak treads on your stairs.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Three questions come up before nearly every booking in Washington: what will it cost, when can you start and what should be moved. Straight answers are below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the cost to install hardwood in Washington, MA?
Nail down labor is priced at $2.25/Sq Ft, covering nails and underlayment. If we also supply the wood, installed unfinished oak is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
Will you rip out my old carpet or linoleum?
Yes. Tear-out averages about $1.00/Sq Ft and we haul the waste away. Moving furniture out and back is a flat $250 if you want it handled.
Does the wood have to rest in the house first?
Solid hardwood does, for a few days, and we check moisture in both the oak and the plywood. That pause protects you from gaps and cupping once winter heat comes on.
I have a concrete floor in the lower level. What can go there?
Engineered boards, floated over underlayment with glue in the joints, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak should not be used on a slab.
When does the flooring get delivered?
Next day, from our own warehouse in Natick. The crew's start date is set with you at the free in-home estimate.
Can you beat another contractor's quote?
We buy direct, and material bought through us can be up to 30% off. If you hold a written quote for the same floor, show it to us.
How do I pay for the work?
Labor is due when the crew shows up to begin, and the material is due as the boxes are delivered. For sanding, half is due at the outset and the second half when the last coat is applied.
Who fixes a squeak that appears later?
We warrant our labor for one year, and the plank maker covers the wood. Phone 508-306-4190 and the same licensed, insured team returns to check it.
