Floor installation · Linden, NJ & Union County

Hardwood and LVP floor installation in Linden, NJ, on a subfloor done right.

New solid or engineered hardwood finished on site, or luxury vinyl plank where wood doesn't make sense, for homes in Union County and North Jersey. We remove the old floor, prep the subfloor and install it properly.

What's included

A floor is only as good as what's under it.

Before any boards go down we check the subfloor for level, moisture and loose spots, because that's where squeaks, gaps and cupping come from later.

  • Removal and disposal of carpet, tile, laminate or old wood
  • Subfloor inspection, leveling and repairs
  • Moisture check before installing wood
  • Installation, including transitions, thresholds and stair nosings
  • On-site sanding, stain and finish for unfinished hardwood
  • Matching new wood into existing floors where rooms connect
What we install

Three kinds of floor, and which one fits your room.

Solid hardwood, unfinished

Red oak, white oak, maple and others, nailed down and then sanded, stained and finished in your house. A seamless floor with no beveled edges, a custom color, and the option to refinish it for decades. It's what most of our installations are.

Prefinished & engineered hardwood

Factory-finished planks that are ready to walk on the same day. Engineered boards are the right call over concrete slabs, in basements, and with radiant heat.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP)

Waterproof, tough, and a good-looking option for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and rentals. Click-lock and glue-down, with proper subfloor flattening so seams stay tight.

How it works

From the old floor coming out to the last coat going on.

  1. Measure and quote

    Free on-site visit. We measure, check the subfloor and give you a written price for material and labor.

  2. Old floor out

    Carpet, tile, laminate or worn wood removed and disposed of.

  3. Subfloor prep

    Leveling, repairs and a moisture check before any wood goes down.

  4. Installation

    Boards laid, plus transitions, thresholds and stair nosings.

  5. Sand and finish

    For unfinished hardwood: sanded, stained and finished on site, then a walk-through with you.

Matching new floors to old ones

Done right, you can't find where the old floor ends.

If you're extending hardwood into a room that never had it, or removing a wall between two floors, we lace the new boards into the old so the seam disappears, then sand and finish everything together.

Borders, inlays and thresholds are cut in at the same time so the whole floor reads as one.
