"My wife loves the look of the nails and the natural oil finish.

We couldn't be happier with your flooring!"

 (quote from a DIY customer who purchased our natural oil planks)

If you can cut a board, drill a hole, and hit a nail with a hammer you can do this. Because our floor is meant to look like individual timeworn planking, it is very forgiving to anything you might do while installing.  Even if you bang it up I guarantee it will look terrific when you're finished. 

Simply mark the nail holes with the templates we provide

What makes this an easy project?

A 12 x 15 room will only need the equivalent of about 30 planks!

Because our planks are very large you make progress very quickly. 

 With simple preparation, a 12 X 15 floor can be laid down in one day by two people. 

Drill the pilot holes with the bit we include with your order

Here's what we provide with your order:

-A Detailed Installation plan that is easy to follow

- Handmade, Pre finished, planks that correspond to your installation plan

- Custom made thresholds

- *Nail placement templates for marking each size plank

- A pilot hole drill bit to make nailing a snap

 

 

NEW!  PREDRILLED PLANKS

Save 50% of the Work With Our Pre-drilled Planks

       Now you can eliminate 50% of the work and 90% of the dirt by ordering your planks predrilled.  For $.50 (fifty cents) a sq ft we will pre-drill the pilot holes for the rosehead nails (or $.80 for hardwood plugs and screws ( requires 2 holes with 2 separate bits) on unfinished or natural oil planks) making this the easiest wide plank flooring to install without question. Marking, drilling and vacuuming the drill debris is about 50% of the physical labor involved in the installation process. You will still have to mark and drill a few holes but this option will eliminate more than half of the work.

It also makes it easier to install if you do not have a nail gun to set the edges in place while you mark and drill the planks.

Builders and installers take note: This option will save you tremendous time and money on installations. A crew of two can now install double the area of flooring in the same amount of time as our with un-drilled planks!

Our Planks Are The Best Value for the Experienced Do it Yourselfer!

You can save up to 20% off of a contractor installed prefinished floor by installing our planks yourself!

NO SANDING!

You won't need to do any heavy sanding or rent any big sanding machines! We've perfected the process of installing prefinished wide planks so it is a clean and easy process.

 Even our unfinished planks are presanded. All you need to do is touch up any rough areas with a hand sanding block before final finishing. Unfinished  wide plank flooring from other companies requires a complete sanding to make the edges and ends flush.  That is dirty, hard work that makes do it yourself installation downright gruesome!

More than Just Floor Boards

If you can hammer a nail into a pilot hole you can do this!

 We won't just deliver flooring and let you figure it out. We provide an easy to follow plan and we will spend as much time as you need to explain the process and talk you through any issues you need to consider. 

    We want you to enjoy this project. 

We Can Supply Everything You Will Need

We will handcraft the planks for you, provide the custom thresholds and give you easy to follow instructions.  The style and design of our planks makes this not only possible but easy! 

*18th Century Colonial rosehead nails are available at reasonable prices. We offer these nails that are made on old machines in New England in either their natural factory condition or color-matched to your flooring.
