Walkthrough Before We Start
Ayer has Victorians near the train station and ranches out by Sandy Pond, and their subfloors differ. The lead installer checks each one for soft spots, door clearances and square before the plan is drawn.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron, parquet and basket weave are all installed by Brazil Floors in Ayer, with borders priced on site. Victorians by the station suit herringbone; the colonials near Devens usually run straight.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows run with the longest wall, least cutting and least waste. A long Ayer ranch room reads even longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards laid in a right angle zigzag, each piece cut to fit. True to the era of a Main Street Victorian parlor.
Chevron Hardwood
Board ends mitered so every row meets in a point, a clean modern pattern for the open kitchens in newer Devens homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal rows pull the eye across the room and make a small cottage kitchen near Long Pond feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares with alternating grain, a traditional look for a sunroom overlooking Nonacoicus Brook.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave pairs short strips that switch direction every square, often bordered, a detail for an Ayer Victorian study.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, dates and prep for hardwood floor installation in Ayer, from Main Street to Sandy Pond.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood floor installation in Ayer?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included. If the wood comes from us, unfinished oak installed is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft, with up to 30% off the material.
Can you take up carpet in an old Victorian?
Yes. Carpet, pad and tack strips come out for about $1.00/Sq Ft, loose subfloor boards get screwed down and the oak is nailed over sound plywood.
How long does the wood sit before installation?
A few days in the rooms where it will be installed. We meter the boards and the subfloor before nailing so the floor does not gap in winter or cup in summer.
What goes over the slab in a Devens basement?
Engineered hardwood. It floats on underlayment with glue in the joints for $2.00/Sq Ft, and nothing is drilled into the concrete.
When does the flooring arrive?
The next day from our Natick warehouse at 9 Cochituate St. Booking the estimate online takes $250 off the job.
Do you bring samples to Ayer?
Yes. The estimate is free and the estimator sets oak, maple and engineered samples on your floor under your own windows.
How is the job paid?
The crew collects for labor the morning they arrive and the wood is paid as the boxes come off the truck. Booking a date costs nothing.
What does the warranty cover?
Twelve months on our labor and the manufacturer warranty on the wood. If a row lifts, call 508-306-4190 and the same licensed, insured crew returns.
