Walkthrough Before We Start
Old Bridgeport buildings shift over the decades, so our crew lead checks the subfloor, the thresholds and the stairs of your house before ordering a single carton.

Every person laying your floor is a licensed, insured, NWFA certified Brazil Floors employee, and subcontractors never enter your home.
Rooms are measured on the first visit, and boxes, trim and reducers are lined up near the door so installers keep a steady pace.
Labor is warrantied for one year by us, and the boards carry the manufacturer's warranty, so you are covered on both the work and the wood.

Boards run alongside the longest wall for the quickest, lowest-waste layout, and a narrow three-family hall reads longer.

Short boards zigzag at 90 degrees, each piece cut and fitted by hand, a period look for a Victorian dining room.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees meet in a clean V, a match for the open plans of newer North End houses.

Planks turned diagonally draw the eye across the room, which helps a small Lower East Side kitchen feel wider.

Oak squares with alternating grain, laid parquet style, give a sunroom a traditional touch.

Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually with a dark border, a classic for old homes near Seaside Park.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. Boards and installation together come to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, we carry materials up and use a floating or glued method that keeps noise down. Check your building's rules first, and we adapt the schedule.
We measure the slope and flatten the subfloor where it matters. Lifting the previous floor out costs roughly $1.00/Sq Ft extra.
The estimator brings oak, hickory and maple boards to your door for the free visit. You judge them against your own walls and light.
The Milford warehouse ships the next day. A typical room goes in within days of the delivery.
Moving furniture is a flat $250 and the crew handles every heavy piece. Everything goes back when the floor is finished.
Labor is due when the crew arrives to begin work, and material is due at delivery. No big balance waits for you at the end.
You get a one-year warranty on our labor. The boards come with the manufacturer's warranty.
