/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A lakeside home, a mountain colonial and a condo townhouse each need a different method. Here is how we choose the wood for each of them.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak laid over secured plywood quiets a creaky upstairs hall in an older Watchung colonial.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float across a walkout lower level, cutting down on noise and skipping glue.
Chevron Hardwood
A mitered border around a dining room on the hillside frames the table and shows off careful carpentry.
Diagonal Hardwood
Plywood in a mountain split level takes nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, for a floor without hollow spots.
Checkerboard Parquet
Wire brushed hickory suits a busy Watchung kitchen where cleats and backpacks cross daily.
Basket Weave Parquet
Dark stained oak and white trim make a formal front room in a Watchung colonial look settled and rich.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I expect to pay for hardwood in Watchung?
For labor, nail down runs $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue runs $2.50 plus adhesive, and floating engineered wood runs $2.00. Supplying the boards ourselves, unfinished totals $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
My split level has a concrete family room. Can hardwood go there?
Engineered planks are the usual pick, floated over a moisture barrier. We test the slab at the estimate before settling on a product.
Will new boards blend with oak in the rest of my house?
We lay samples beside your existing floor so you see how close the tones are. Where a perfect match is out of reach, a threshold makes a neat break.
Do you remove the carpet or old boards?
Yes, about $1.00/Sq Ft covers tear-out and hauling. Loose plywood and squeaks get fixed before we lay a single row.
Is there a saving for booking online, and can you move furniture?
Choosing your estimate slot on our website cuts $250 from the job. Furniture handling is a flat $250 if you prefer the crew to do it.
How many days will my rooms be out of use?
Prefinished planks in two bedrooms generally need a day, sometimes two. Unfinished oak sanded and coated on site takes about a week.
Where do the materials come from?
The wood is stored at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrives with next-day delivery from Long Branch once your order is in.
Whose crew will be in my house, and what stands behind the work?
Our employees, licensed and insured, with one year on labor and the maker's warranty on the wood.
