Walkthrough Before We Start
Salt air and summer humidity move wood on the Cape, so the lead installer meters every room, checks the crawlspace venting in an Osterville cottage and measures door heights before a single carton is ordered.

Nail Down Installation
Unfinished oak nailed to the subfloor and sanded in place is the way to match new rooms to the wide old boards in a Barnstable Village antique or a Gideon Hawley House era home.

Licensed, Insured Installation
The installers in your Barnstable house are Brazil Floors employees with NWFA training, not a subcontracted crew. Our license and insurance travel with them over the bridge and back.

Remeasure and Material Count
Install day opens with the cartons recounted against the room sizes. A chop saw goes up in the Barnstable driveway, transitions are sorted by doorway and a string line sets the first row.

One Year Install Warranty
A year of labor warranty follows every Barnstable floor, and the mill's own warranty covers the planks, so a seam that opens and a board that fails are each somebody's responsibility, never yours.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Plank direction and pattern change how a room feels. Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet are all installed across Barnstable, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Antique homes in Barnstable Village favor herringbone; new builds in Osterville go for wide straight planks.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks laid parallel to the longest wall are the fastest and leanest layout, and they lengthen a narrow Hyannis ranch living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone turns short boards into a right-angle zigzag, every piece hand fitted, the period look for the formal rooms of a Barnstable Village antique.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron miters the ends so the rows meet in a clean V, a crisp look for the open kitchens of newer Osterville houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal run draws the eye corner to corner, which makes a compact Hyannis Port cottage kitchen feel bigger than its footprint.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares with alternating grain direction suit a sunroom overlooking the harbor in Barnstable Village.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave, short pieces woven over and under inside a contrasting border, fits the older homes around the John F. Kennedy Museum in downtown Hyannis.
/ OUR SERVICES
Barnstable Hardwood Flooring Installers
Figure an hour and a quarter from Natick over the Sagamore to Barnstable, and the installers making that drive on day one are the ones sweeping up on the last. In this Centerville cape they stripped carpet to plywood, screwed down what moved, rolled underlayment and nailed white oak wall to wall, leaving a margin at the baseboards for August humidity.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Barnstable
Oak in a Barnstable Village front room is one call. The crew also floats waterproof plank in Hyannis rentals, clicks laminate into bedrooms, resands sandy old floors, tests stain, patches damaged boards and rebuilds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in Barnstable?
On the Cape our nail down installation is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside that figure. When the oak comes from us as well, unfinished totals $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you put hardwood over the carpet in my Hyannis cape?
The carpet has to come out first, pad and tack strips with it. We fasten any soft plywood, then nail the oak directly to the subfloor.
My Osterville ranch is on a slab. What are my options?
Engineered hardwood floated on a pad with glued joints, so nothing is drilled into the concrete. Labor for a floating floor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you do vinyl plank or laminate for a rental in Hyannis?
Yes. Vinyl plank is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate $1.99/Sq Ft in labor, and for a summer rental with sandy feet and wet towels the waterproof plank usually wins.
How long until the wood arrives on the Cape?
One day. The truck rolls out of 9 Cochituate St in Natick, crosses the Sagamore and drops the cartons in your Barnstable garage the day after the order.
Can you do the stairs too?
Yes. New oak treads with riser, nosing and stain are $60 each, or we sand and refinish existing oak stairs for $50 per step.
How is payment handled?
Labor is paid when the crew begins, material when the boxes are unloaded. Any sanding on the job is half at the start and half at the final coat.
What about warranty?
A year on our labor, and the mill warranty on the planks. The installers are Brazil Floors employees, NWFA trained, carrying the company license and insurance onto the Cape.
/ ALSO SERVING
Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Yarmouth, Dennis, Mashpee, Sandwich and Harwich share the Mid-Cape roads with Barnstable, and a hardwood floor in any of them is billed at the Barnstable rate.
Yarmouth capes from the sixties often sit on thin plywood, so hardwood installation there begins with a stiffer subfloor before any nailing.
Dennis homeowners get solid oak over plywood at $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment part of the deal.
Mashpee ranches on slabs take engineered oak floated on underlayment for $2.00/Sq Ft, no fastener ever touching the concrete.
Sandwich families choose prefinished hardwood because it arrives sealed and the dining room is back in use that evening.
Harwich colonials trade carpeted stairs for new oak treads at $60 apiece, stained to meet the hall above.
