Walkthrough Before We Start
Houses on Long Hill Road sit on a slope, and a slope means a floor that tilts. Before one board goes down, our lead checks the joists, the doorway heights and the top step.

Remeasure and Material Count
The first visit is a tape measure, a moisture meter and a pencil. Cartons, trim and reducers get stacked at the door afterward, so no one hunts for a piece at noon.

One Year Install Warranty
You get a year of labor warranty from Brazil Floors, plus the mill warranty on the boards. Labor is paid the day the crew arrives, and material is paid when the boxes land.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet hardwood in Andover, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Plain straight lay suits a Hutchinson Road ranch, while a chevron hall suits a bigger remodel.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the long wall, which cuts the least waste and makes a narrow hall look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag, every one cut to fit. It suits a dining room in a very old Andover cape.
Chevron Hardwood
Each row is mitered at 45 degrees and meets its neighbor in a clean V, a fit for a larger family room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards turned 45 degrees to the walls pull the eye across a small room and make a little lakeside kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain give a sunroom the old parquet look many Andover families remember from childhood.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually edged with a dark border, a handsome choice beside Burnap Brook.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Andover?
Expect $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down labor, and the nails and underlayment are folded in. Supplying the wood too brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you lay new oak over my lake house subfloor?
Yes, once the crew checks it for moisture and soft spots. Weak sections are fastened or replaced first, and the quote shows that work.
Do you remove the old flooring?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, and haul it out with the packaging. The estimator lists it on the quote so nothing is added later.
How soon can the wood be delivered?
Boards ship from our Milford warehouse the next day after you order. Install dates follow the crew calendar, often within the week.
What is the difference between nail-down and floating?
Nail-down is fastened to the subfloor for a solid feel, while floating engineered planks rest on foam and suit slabs. Floating is $2.00/Sq Ft and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Is there a deal on materials?
Up to 30% off the material you buy through Brazil Floors, and $250 off when you book the estimate online. Both come off the final bill.
When do I pay?
Our crew collects for labor on the morning they arrive, and the material bill comes due at delivery. Before that day you owe nothing.
Will you move my furniture?
Yes, for a flat $250 for the whole house. The crew puts every piece back when the floor is done.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Coventry, Columbia, Hebron, Bolton and Manchester sit around Andover, and the same crew and the same flat labor rate follow us down each of those roads.
Farmhouses toward Coventry often hide uneven board subfloors, so hardwood there starts with a flat plywood base.
Older Columbia homes get solid oak nailed down at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, nails and underlayment included.
Over a slab or a cold lower level in Hebron, an engineered floor floats on foam for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Bolton families like prefinished boards because the room is usable the moment the crew leaves.
Manchester stair landings get new oak treads at $60 each, cut to meet the hall floor.
