/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A 1950s cape, a split level and a newer center hall colonial each take a different approach. Here is how we pair the wood with the house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak nailed over a leveled subfloor steadies the creaky halls found in many mid century capes.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float across a basement slab and give a family room the look of real wood.
Chevron Hardwood
Split level stairs and short front walks are routine for a crew that hand carries every box.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive grips boards laid over plywood in a ranch addition.
Checkerboard Parquet
A pale prefinished oak opens up a dining room with small windows and dark trim.
Basket Weave Parquet
Kids, cleats and winter salt make a satin finish the sensible pick by the garage door.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for hardwood installation in West Caldwell?
Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft when boards are nailed, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive when nailed and glued, and $2.00/Sq Ft for a floating engineered floor. With our lumber the installed totals are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
My 1950s cape has floors that dip near the kitchen. Can oak still go in?
Yes. We level the low area and secure loose subfloor first, because houses that age settle, and we plan for it during the estimate.
Can you install over a concrete basement slab?
Engineered planks float over the slab on a moisture barrier at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. A moisture test at the visit confirms the slab is ready.
Is removing the old floor part of the job?
Removal is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the debris is hauled away with us.
Does booking online change what I owe?
Booking the estimate on our website lowers the project cost by $250. Should you want the sofas and dressers shifted by us, that service is a flat $250.
How many days will the first floor take?
Prefinished rooms run a day or two each, while raw oak sanded and sealed in place takes closer to a week.
Where is the wood kept before delivery?
In our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, shipping to West Caldwell with next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who works in my home and what is guaranteed?
Our licensed, insured employees, never subcontractors, with one year on labor and the manufacturer's warranty covering the boards.
