/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns in Branford, and borders are priced on site. Herringbone looks right in an older Indian Neck house, and chevron fits a newer open plan.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the longest wall, the quickest layout and the least waste, and it stretches a narrow Short Beach cottage.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set at right angles zigzag across the floor, a good match for a dining room in an older Stony Creek house.
Chevron Hardwood
Cut at 45 degrees, each row meets its neighbor in a sharp V, which suits the open layouts of newer Branford builds.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set on a diagonal lead the eye across a room and make a small kitchen near Indian Neck seem bigger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with alternating grain, laid parquet style, are a traditional choice for a sunroom with Sound views.
Basket Weave Parquet
Oak pieces woven in a basket pattern with a contrasting border are a classic in older homes around Branford Green.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, timing and prep for hardwood floor installation in Branford, from Branford Hill to the shore.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the price for installing hardwood in Branford?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included, while nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. Material and installation together are $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
My house is a beach cottage with a damp crawl space. Is solid hardwood safe?
Moisture below the floor is the first thing we test, and we may suggest engineered boards at $2.00/Sq Ft floated over a barrier. Solid oak stays an option if the readings are dry.
Do I need to remove my old flooring first?
It has to come up unless it is a sound layer we can build over. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft and shows on the estimate.
Can I see wood samples in my own living room?
Yes, the estimator brings boards to your Branford house at the free visit. Hold them against your furniture and walls before deciding.
How fast can the boards arrive?
The warehouse in Milford ships the next day, so material is often on your porch within 24 hours. Your crew start follows the delivery.
Do you move heavy furniture?
Furniture moving is a flat $250 and we handle the sofa, beds and bookcases. We set everything back when the floor is done.
When is each payment due?
Labor is due as the crew starts work, and material is due when boxes are delivered. There is no surprise balance at the end.
Does a hardwood installation come with a guarantee?
You get a one-year labor warranty from Brazil Floors. The wood itself is protected by the manufacturer.
