Solid Wood Floors
Solid floors are made with planks of solid wood, usually ¾ to 5/16” thick. Because they are solid, they can be sanded and refinished many times, giving them a long life span. They can be installed over a plywood subfloor at or above grade. They are not suitable for installation in basements.
Engineered Wood Floors
Engineered hardwoods are made with layers of wood veneers bonded together. The top layer is a finished wood that can be resanded a limited number of times depending on its thickness. Because it features multiple sublayers laid in opposing directions, it is more stable than solid hardwood and resists warping and damage from moisture better. For that reason engineered wood floors can be laid over concrete subfloors in addition to wood and are suitable for use in basements.
Wood Species
Color and Grain
Hardwood floors are produced from the wood of many species of trees, each offering different qualities that affect their appearance and performance. Some woods such as oak have prominent grain patterns; others, like cherry, have very mild graining. Every variety of wood also has unique natural coloring that affects its finished color when stained.
In addition, woods vary in their hardness, which affects how easily they will dent and scratch under regular use. In general, the harder the wood, the greater its scratch and dent resistance.

Layered shades are a wonderful addition to this beautiful kitchen. Their clean lines create a modern, sleek look. Two bands of material with no visible seaming or adhesives can alternate between light-filtering total coverage, or alternating bands of light-filtering material and sheer material that provides UV protection.

View from backyard today shows several layers of additions to original 1906 rectangular gable-roofed form. Our restoration retained the picturesque vernacular character of additions, but applied consistent motifs and syntax to hold design together. Sunroom opens to masonry terrace.

View from the addition to the existing formal dining room. The clients really wanted symmetrical lines in the addition. The living room/dining room connection in the original house had an arched opening. The designer meticulously lined up the new opening to the tasting room with the arched opening between the living room and original dining room. The client loves seeing layers of arched doors from room to room. We reused the set of arched solid wood doors that had been in the living room. We sent them to our building supplier's wood shop to be hung on a new jamb. We installed them in the tasting room to separate the formal and informal areas. The owner has a large wine collection in off-site storage. He wanted to have access to more bottles at his home. The wine closets act as art and a passageway or transition from the formal are of the home to the informal areas.
We built temperature-control wine closets. We used spray foam insulation in the walls, placed tile on the floor, and installed cooling systems with the cooling unit in the basement. Mahogany doors with sidelights and interior lighting for display. The bottles/shelving resemble an art display.

A majestic addition to a modest cape home
Tucked into a tree-lined street in Rockland County, this once-modest gambrel cape was reimagined to meet the evolving needs of a growing family while preserving its familiar charm. The transformation includes a new two-car garage with a gambrel-roofed addition above, a welcoming front porch, and a complete interior and exterior renovation. Together, these elements bring a new sense of balance, presence, and grace — a modern evolution of classic suburban form.
Inside, walls were opened and rooms reconnected to invite light and ease of movement. The kitchen, once small and uninviting, now anchors the first floor — a warm and generous hub where family life unfolds from morning to night. Living, dining, and work spaces flow naturally, supporting both connection and quiet.
Above the new garage, a serene primary suite offers retreat and rhythm, gently elevated above the hum of daily life. With its expanded front porch, refined roofline, and carefully layered materials, the home feels renewed yet rooted — a timeless composition of family, comfort, and place.
