Walkthrough Before We Start
Lake-area ranches and splits in Brookfield often sit on slabs or settled framing, so our crew lead checks the subfloor, the thresholds and the stairs before material is ordered.
Lake-area ranches and splits in Brookfield often sit on slabs or settled framing, so our crew lead checks the subfloor, the thresholds and the stairs before material is ordered.
Everyone who lays your floor is on our payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and no part of the job is passed to a subcontractor.
We begin by measuring each room and leaving cartons, trim and reducers staged by the entry, so installation moves along without a pause.
Labor carries a one-year warranty from Brazil Floors, while the wood has its manufacturer's coverage, so craftsmanship and boards are both protected.

Planks running with the longest wall waste little wood and make a narrow room seem longer.

Short pieces zigzag at 90 degrees, each one fitted by hand, which is right for a formal dining room.

Boards cut at 45 degrees meet in a neat V down the room, a good match for an open plan on Long Meadow Hill.

Diagonal planks send the eye across a room, so a modest kitchen near Four Corners looks bigger.

Oak blocks alternate their grain direction in a parquet pattern, a fit for a sunroom with lake views.

Short strips woven over and under inside a dark border make a classic floor for a traditional hall.



Nail-down labor holds at $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. Counting material, you pay $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished hardwood and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
The carpet and padding come out first, along with the tack strips. Soft spots are fastened, then oak is nailed over solid plywood.
Engineered planks, floated on foam with glue in the joints, so the slab never takes a nail. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. Vinyl plank is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate $1.99/Sq Ft for labor, and waterproof vinyl is smart in lake level rooms that stay damp.
The day after you order, on a truck from our Milford warehouse. The crew can set a start date soon after.
Each new tread is $60, and the riser, nosing and stain are part of it. Sound stairs can be refinished at $50 per step.
Labor is due as work begins, and material when the cartons are delivered. A sanding job splits 50% at the start and 50% at the last coat.
Yes, a year on labor, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the flooring. Every installer works under our license and insurance and holds NWFA certification.
