Flooring Supplies for Martha's Vineyard Contractors

Quick answer

JR Hardwood Supplies serves Martha's Vineyard contractors from 112 Davis Straits in Falmouth, minutes from the Woods Hole ferry. The standard arrangement is a phone order staged for pickup and timed to your Steamship Authority sailing. For larger flooring orders, call (508) 524-8957 and we will work out the logistics.

How island orders work

Call with your list and your sailing time, ideally a day or more ahead.
We confirm stock and quantities on the phone.
The order is staged and ready at the counter.
You pick up on the way to Woods Hole.

The store is close enough to the terminal that this adds very little to the trip. What it saves is finding out mid job that you are one gallon short with a boat schedule between you and the store.

Order heavy

On the mainland, running short costs thirty minutes. On the island it can cost a day and a fare.

Round up on finish. Traffic HD covers 350 to 400 square feet per gallon per coat per Bona, and raw or open grain wood drinks more.
Bring at least fifty percent more abrasive than the chart suggests.
Carry spares of anything a job stops without: applicator pads, tape, dust bags.

Vineyard conditions

Island humidity runs higher than the mainland and the season is compressed. Most properties are seasonal, which means narrow work windows and floors that sit closed for months. That pushes two recommendations: Traffic HD over lighter duty finishes, because island rental turnover is punishing, and engineered flooring over solid where the house goes unheated.

Towns

Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah. Contractors across the island order the same way.

Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver to Martha's Vineyard?

Our standard arrangement is a phone order and pickup at the Falmouth store, timed to your Steamship Authority sailing. We are minutes from the Woods Hole terminal. For larger flooring orders, call (508) 524-8957 and we will work out the route and timing for your job.

How do Vineyard contractors handle supply runs?

Call ahead with a list, confirm stock on the phone, and pick up on the way to Woods Hole. The most useful advice we give island contractors is to order heavy.

What flooring works for Vineyard seasonal homes?

Engineered flooring generally outperforms solid hardwood in a house that sits unheated from November to April, because it moves less through that humidity swing. Traffic HD is worth the premium on rentals. Waterproof vinyl plank is the answer for basements and wet areas.

Which Vineyard towns do you supply?

Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown, West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah.
