White Oak Herringbone in an Upper West Side Brownstone

The problem

The brownstone’s old floor squeaked throughout, and the cause ran deeper than the boards: the subfloor itself had to come out. About 4,000 square feet of flooring needed full replacement.

Preparation

The old floor and subfloor were removed. New plywood went down, leveled and secured to eliminate the squeaks at the source.

Materials and method

White oak herringbone in 3-1/4 by 18 inch pieces, supplied, installed and finished on site with a natural water-based Bona Traffic HD satin finish.

The result

A quiet, solid herringbone floor across the brownstone, with the subfloor problem fixed rather than covered up.
