/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Pick plain straight rows, herringbone, chevron, a diagonal or a woven pattern. Let your room's shape and the way sun crosses the fields guide the choice.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running rows the long way makes a farmhouse living room on River Road feel bigger and wastes less wood.
Herringbone Hardwood
A zigzag of short pieces gives a dining room in Whately Center an old world feel.
Chevron Hardwood
V shaped rows pull you down a long front hall in a house on Haydenville Road.
Diagonal Hardwood
Angled strips in a farmhouse study near the Great Swamp hide walls that have settled over two centuries.
Checkerboard Parquet
Little squares set in opposite directions give a kitchen nook in East Whately a checkered pattern.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strip pairs turn direction in each square, a woven look we laid in a cape near the Whately Milk Bottle.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Installers From West Whately to the River
Farmhouses along Christian Lane, capes in the town center, hillside homes near Mount Esther and newer houses off Long Plain Road all get careful prep. Rosin paper goes down, every row is nailed tight and trim is fitted close, so the floor stays put through muggy August and wood stove January.

Other Floor Work for Whately Homes
Valley homes need more than new oak sometimes. Our crews also sand and stain tired floors, lay waterproof vinyl in mudrooms, click in laminate, build stair treads and mend damaged spots.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Folks in Whately usually ask three things: cost, timing and what to move before we arrive. Here are straight answers.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow is new hardwood priced for a Whately house?
Labor to nail solid oak is $2.25/Sq Ft. Want the wood from us as well? Unfinished oak, sanded and finished in your house, is $5.50/Sq Ft, and prefinished oak is $6.00/Sq Ft, both installed.
Our farmhouse floors slope a little. Can new oak go over them?
Usually. We check the joists from the cellar, shim or plane high spots and sister weak framing if needed, so the new oak lies as flat as an old house allows.
Does a wood stove dry out new hardwood?
It can. Stove heat pulls humidity out of the house, so oak may show small gaps in January. A humidifier or a kettle on the stove keeps the floor much tighter.
Do you travel out to Whately for smaller jobs?
Yes. A single bedroom or a hallway is worth the trip up I-91. Cartons usually reach Whately a day after ordering, and weekend installs are available.
Can you pull up old carpet and linoleum before installing?
Yes, for about $1.00/Sq Ft, and everything leaves in our truck. That big farmhouse table and the hutch can be carried out and back by us too, at $250 per job.
Can new oak blend with a floor in the next room?
Yes. Rather than a threshold strip, fresh oak gets toothed into the existing rows, and both rooms are sanded and finished together until they look like one floor.
We got a cheaper quote. Will you beat it?
Send it over. When another installer's written price covers the same scope and wood, we'll go below it and still send NWFA certified people.
How is payment handled?
Labor is paid the morning installation starts, and materials when they're delivered. Sanding work is billed in two halves, one as it begins and one once it's complete.
