Hardwood Flooring

Premium solid wood selection, customized species consultation, and expert laying of New England's finest hardwood boards.

Natural Timber Elegance

Select species, harmonious grades

Hardwood flooring is a lifetime investment. Unlike short-term alternatives, real hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, aging gracefully alongside your home. Choosing the right species and wood grade, however, requires careful alignment with your design intent and household activity levels.

We supply and install both solid and engineered hardwood in New England's most trusted species: Red Oak (excellent durability and prominent grain), White Oak (modern linear grain, water resistance, grey-friendly stain absorption), Maple (super-hard, Scandinavian clean finish), and American Walnut (deep, luxurious organic patterns).

From rustic common grades with knots and warm color variations to pristine select grades with uniform linear grain, we help you choose the right product and lay it flat with clean joints.

Our Method

Choosing your hardwood

01. Species Selection

Wood Consultation

We review the hardness (Janka scale) of Oak, Maple, and Hickory, matching a species to your lifestyle and traffic levels.

02. Width & Grade

Plank Width & Cut Selection

We consult on wide planks (5" or 7") vs. traditional 2-1/4" narrow strips, and Rift/Quartered cuts vs. Plain Sawn styles.

03. Install Execution

Expert Nail-Down Install

Our craftsmen lay the wood over premium flooring felt using heavy-duty pneumatic flooring nailers, securing a tight fit.

Hardwood FAQs

Service Questions

Hickory, Hard Maple, and White Oak are excellent choices for busy homes with dogs. They rank high on the Janka hardness scale, meaning they resist denting better. Choosing a wood species with a strong grain pattern (like Red or White Oak) also helps hide minor claws scratches.

Select grade wood has minimal color variations and practically no knots, giving a clean, uniform modern appearance. Common grades (No. 1 and No. 2 Common) feature natural wood character, mineral streaks, wormholes, and sound knots, perfect for a warm, rustic craftsman vibe.

Regular dust-mopping is essential as fine sand particles can act like sandpaper under shoes. Use pH-neutral hardwood cleaners (like Bona). Avoid wet-mopping or steam cleaners, and place protective felt pads under all heavy furniture feet to prevent deep gouging.
