FAQ

Before you call

Anything else, ring Jason and ask.

What areas do you cover?

Based in Kaitaia, working across the Far North. Recent jobs stretch down to the Kerikeri region, so ask about your patch.

How do I get a quote?

Call or email with the address, rough floor area and what you're after. We'll take a look and give you a straight price before anything starts.

Can you restore our old timber floor?

Usually, yes. Most tired timber floors sand back and refinish beautifully. Send a photo and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable.

What timbers and patterns can you lay?

Solid and engineered timber including oak and jarrah, straight-laid or in patterns like herringbone, with borders and inlays if you want the detail.

What happens after I accept the quote?

We check and prep the subfloor, lock in dates, and keep the site clean and safe from first board to final coat.
