A good share of the housing between Alewife Brook and Arlington Heights predates 1930, so our lead installer goes to the basement, sights along the joists, maps every hump in the subfloor and decides which way the rows run before a single carton is opened.

The people kneeling on your Arlington subfloor draw a Brazil Floors paycheck, hold NWFA certification and are licensed and insured. We have never sent a subcontractor into a customer's home.

Install morning in Arlington starts with the tape measure out a second time, cartons stacked inside the front door and transitions cut for each threshold, so the nailer never idles while someone hunts for a reducer.

Our twelve month labor guarantee sits on top of the mill's warranty on the oak itself. If a row lifts or a squeak starts in year one, the same Arlington crew returns and fixes it for nothing.
Boards that follow the longest wall of an East Arlington living room create the least offcut and pull the eye toward the bay window.
In herringbone, short lengths meet at right angles and march across the room in a zigzag. It is the natural choice for a dining room in a Menotomy era colonial.
Chevron has every board end mitered, so the rows close in a sharp point. Renovated open kitchens in Arlington Heights order it more than any other pattern.
A diagonal run at 45 degrees carries the eye corner to corner, and a tight galley kitchen in a Spy Pond condo reads wider than it measures.
Parquet turns the grain block by block in a grid, a formal look for the study of an older home near the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum.
Basket weave crosses short oak pieces over and under inside a darker border, a fitting entry hall for an Arlington Victorian.

Nailing it down is $2.25/Sq Ft in Arlington, and the cleats and underlayment are already inside that labor figure. Let us bring the wood too and unfinished oak lands at $5.50/Sq Ft installed, prefinished at $6.00/Sq Ft.
We pull it. Tear-out is around $1.00/Sq Ft and the old carpet leaves on our truck. If the oak underneath is sound, we say so, because sanding it may cost you less than new wood.
Yes. Insurance certificates go to the association, the common stairwell gets covered and the chop saw stays on the deck. Sound dampening underlayment is available when the condo rules demand it.
Solid oak is not. Engineered planks are, floated on underlayment with glue in the seams for $2.00/Sq Ft, and the concrete is never drilled. We meter the slab for moisture before anything is ordered.
One day. It leaves our Natick warehouse at 9 Cochituate St in the morning and is inside your Arlington home before lunch, then solid oak sits a few days to settle before the cleats go in.
You can, or our crew does it for a flat $250, out before the install and back after the finish is dry. Pianos and full bookcases get discussed at the Arlington estimate.
The wood is paid for when the boxes land at your door, and labor is paid the morning the Arlington crew arrives to begin. Nothing is owed to reserve a date.
Ring 508-306-4190 and the Arlington installers who laid the floor come back out. Twelve months of labor coverage is ours, and the plank maker's warranty sits on top of it.
