Specializing in the Custom Design, Fabrication and Installation of Commissioned Parquet and Inlaid Hardwood Floors Using Native and Exotic Hardwoods

Example Image Example Image

All our work is done in custom milled, full 3/4 inch thick, solid hardwoods, tongue and grooved or taper cut, hand fit and fastened for permanence. No laminate or veneer is ever used. Antique plank can be custom finished and pegged, keyed or top nailed with period accurate nails. We can coordinate installation of basic flooring with a local flooring contractor, utilizing our skills and experience in doing special designs, accent pieces, key rooms and spaces, or we can contract for installation and finishing of all wood floors in the project. Cost is based on two variables: complexity of design and the woods selected.

Every Floor is Custom Designed. Our floors are commissioned designs developed in close collaboration with the owner, architect, designer or builder. While based on traditional techniques, each floor is an original creation. Designs may be dramatic statements or subtle counterpoints, accenting aesthetic and architectural features and complementing the shape and use of space. Family crests, monograms, corporate logos, thematic symbols, borders and abstract designs are but a few of the applications of mosaic floor inlays.

We approach floors as an opportunity for creativity, innovation and historical accuracy. This enables us to developed exciting new options in flooring: our expertise in installing into existing floors, our ability to incorporate pewter and back-lit stone or glass in designs and custom installation of hand-scraped, extremely wide antique plank, are but several of the latest. Exclusive custom designing allows us to create works which fulfill both aesthetic and budget requirements.

While a site visit, with our full design portfolio and wood samples, is the ideal way to begin to design your custom floors, a set of floor plans and some time on the telephone and fax often work well.

We are also available for consultation on flooring design, wood selection and the technical aspects of hardwood floor installation.

Our years of experience and continuous research also enable us to bring you an extensive choice of fine, custom milled hardwoods. We presently offer the natural color and luminous hues of over 80 species in almost any width desired.

Work of Art and a Proven Value Of Classic Richness. Each floor is a graceful and sensually elegant play of light and texture, form and color. By bringing out the natural beauty of exotic and native hardwoods through a blend of traditional and modern flooring techniques, we create a mosaic with the richness and vibrant warmth of a fine oriental carpet. Used in a foyer, entry way or reception area, it can set a tone of quality for the entire building and emphasizes a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that conveys superior value and provides an excellent return on investment.
