Walkthrough Before We Start
Old farmhouses along the Ware River can have sagging joists and board subfloors, so the lead installer walks every room, checks for dips and plans where new plywood goes before any oak is ordered.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal, parquet and basket weave all go in across Barre, with borders quoted on site. Antique homes near the common tend toward herringbone, while newer builds off Route 32 ask for chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow Worcester County farmhouse room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short planks locked at right angles into a zigzag, a pattern that suits the formal rooms of an older house on the common.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends meet in a clean point, drawing the eye down a long hallway in a center entrance colonial.
Diagonal Hardwood
A 45 degree run hides an out of square wall, common in homes that have settled along the Ware River for a century.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares with the grain turned square by square, a handsome base under a dining table in Barre Center.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave sets short strips over and under with a contrasting border, a detail for a study or front parlor.

Our crew drives out from 9 Cochituate St in Natick, a little over an hour from Barre, and the same people stay on the job until the last transition is set. In this house they pulled up carpet, screwed down loose plywood, rolled underlayment and nailed oak strips wall to wall, the routine we follow from Barre Center to the farm roads toward Hubbardston.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Price, start date and which rooms to clear are what Barre homeowners want settled first, so those answers come next.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does it cost to install hardwood floors in Barre?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment built in. If the wood comes from our Natick store, unfinished oak installed is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can you handle an uneven floor in an old farmhouse?
Yes. Boards over the joists get screwed tight, low spots are built up with plywood or leveler, and only then does the oak go down, so the new floor reads flat even in a house from the 1800s.
Does the oak need to acclimate out here?
Solid wood sits inside for several days while we meter both the planks and the subfloor. Barre winters are dry and summers are damp, and that pause keeps gaps and cupping away.
What goes over the concrete in a walkout basement?
Engineered hardwood floated on underlayment with glue in the joints, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. Nothing is drilled into the slab.
How soon can delivery reach Barre?
The truck leaves our Natick warehouse the day after you order, and the drive out through Worcester County takes a little over an hour, so install dates follow closely behind.
Will you take out the old carpet and move furniture?
Pulling up the old floor costs roughly $1.00/Sq Ft and we haul it away. If you want the furniture moved out and back, that is a flat $250.
How do payments work?
The crew is paid the morning they start, the wood when the truck unloads it at your door. Reserving a date is free.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our labor is guaranteed for one year and the wood is backed by its manufacturer. The installers are Brazil Floors employees, each one licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
