Hardwood floor installation · Newark, NJ
Floors & stairs
We install solid and engineered hardwood and build new hardwood stairs across North Jersey — sanded and finished on site.
What we build
From bare subfloor to the last coat of finish, one crew does it all — so the floor and the staircase match, and nothing gets lost between contractors.
Main serviceSolid or engineered hardwood installed over plywood or concrete, in one room or the whole house. We lay it, sand it flat and finish it on site, so the floor comes out smooth and the color is exactly the one you picked.
Most requestedNew oak treads and risers, carpet-to-hardwood conversions, and stairs finished to match the new floor. The staircase is the first thing people see when they walk in — we build it to be.

We come out, measure every room and check the subfloor. You get a written price — free.
Oak, maple, hickory, solid or engineered, plank width and color. We bring samples and help you choose.
Boards go down tight and straight, with the right method for your subfloor. Stairs get new treads and risers.
We sand the new floor flat, apply your stain and seal it with coats of finish. That's the shine.
Already have hardwood?
If the wood under your floor is still good, bringing it back can cost less than replacing it. We'll tell you which makes more sense.
Worn floors sanded to bare wood, stained and sealed again.
Water damage, soft spots and cracked boards replaced to match.
A fresh coat of finish for floors that are dull but not damaged.
Who you'll work with

Questions
It depends on the wood you pick (solid or engineered, species, plank width), the size of the area, and what's under it now. We measure and give you a written price for free — no surprises after we start.
Yes, it's one of our most requested jobs. We install new oak treads and risers, convert carpeted stairs to hardwood, and finish the staircase to match your new floor.
Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times over its life and is the classic choice for upstairs rooms. Engineered hardwood is more stable with moisture, so it's often better over concrete or in basements. We'll tell you which fits your house.
A few rooms usually take a few days from install to final coat; a whole house or a full staircase takes longer. The schedule, including drying time before furniture goes back, comes with your estimate.
Yes. We remove carpet, tile or old flooring, fix the subfloor if it needs it, and install the new hardwood on a solid, level base.
Yes. If your hardwood is in good shape underneath, sanding and refinishing can make it look new for much less than replacing it. We'll tell you honestly which makes more sense.
