Walkthrough Before We Start
Older Wellesley homes often hide uneven framing, so our lead installer maps the subfloor, tests for movement and studies each doorway before a single carton is opened.

No subcontractors work in your house. Each installer is our employee with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, which counts in a home full of furniture and framed art.
Once the boxes come off the truck, the team chalks out the layout, sets threshold pieces where rooms meet and starts the first row straight against the longest wall.
A one year labor warranty comes from us, and the mill stands behind the boards with its own materials coverage.

Boards laid with the longest wall keep waste low and give a long hall a calm line.

Short pieces set in a zigzag give an older study a tailored, period look.

Mitered ends form a V down each row, a clean look for a kitchen that opens onto a family room.

A 45 degree diagonal widens a small bedroom and hides a wall that sits slightly off square.

Parquet squares with alternating grain bring an old fashioned finish to a sunroom.

Basket weave pairs short oak strips that turn at each square, a handsome detail for a library.



Our nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, which already counts the nails and underlayment. Supplying the boards ourselves brings an installed floor to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, we tear it out for about $1.00/Sq Ft. If furniture has to leave the room first, moving it out and back is a flat $250.
Engineered hardwood can. It floats on underlayment with glue in the joints for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, so the concrete is never nailed.
The warehouse is in Natick, and material is delivered the next day after ordering. At the free estimate we bring samples into your home.
Yes. Full refinishing with sanding, stain and three coats of poly is $2.50/Sq Ft, and a screen and recoat is $1.00/Sq Ft.
A new hardwood tread is $60 with riser, nosing and stain folded in. Refinishing existing stairs is $50 per step.
You pay labor when the crew arrives to start, and material when the delivery is dropped off. Should the job include sanding, billing splits evenly between the first morning and the last coat.
A one year labor warranty applies, and the manufacturer covers the wood itself. The people on your floor are our own licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew.
