Walkthrough Before We Start
Sound air and a river breeze keep summer humidity high, so the oak rests in your house until a meter matches the subfloor. The first row waits for that number.

You get one year on our labor and the maker's warranty on the boards, so the work and the oak are both covered from the day we finish.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet are all installed in Waterford, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Older Quaker Hill homes lean toward herringbone, and newer builds ask about chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run along the longest wall, the fastest and lowest waste layout, which lengthens a small ranch living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set in a zigzag and cut one at a time, a period look for a dining room in an older Waterford house.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a sharp V, a fit for the open kitchens of newer homes on Great Neck.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards set diagonally pull the eye across the room and make a narrow Mago Point kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, parquet style, a classic touch for a den in a Cohanzie Hill home.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually inside a dark border, found in the front rooms of older houses on Vauxhall Street.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, prep and start dates for hardwood installation in Waterford, from Mago Point to Quaker Hill.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation in Waterford?
Our nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue is $2.50 plus adhesive, and floated engineered is $2.00. With oak from us the installed price is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
Does salt air near the water hurt hardwood?
Humidity matters more than salt. We let the boards adjust inside your house and nail only when the meter matches the subfloor.
Can I put hardwood in a lower level near the Niantic River?
Only engineered oak floated over a pad, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, and after we meter the slab. Solid oak belongs on the wood framed floors above.
Do you remove old carpet or flooring?
Yes, for about $1.00/Sq Ft with haul away. Squeaks and soft plywood are fixed before the new oak goes in.
Is there a discount for booking online?
Booking the estimate on our website takes $250 off. Moving your furniture is a flat $250.
When does each payment come due?
The crew's labor is due the day they begin, and the material is due when the boxes reach your door. Sanding jobs are paid in two halves, one at the start and one at the last coat.
How long will a Waterford job take?
A few rooms of prefinished oak take one or two days. Raw oak sanded and finished in place runs about a week.
Who does the installing and what is covered?
Our own payroll employees, never subcontractors, with a one year labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the oak.
