Walkthrough Before We Start
Houses on sandy cranberry country lots often have damp crawl spaces, so the lead installer tests moisture, probes the subfloor and measures every doorway before starting.

Every installer who steps into your Carver house is a Brazil Floors employee. NWFA certification, a license and insurance come with each of them.
Install day opens with a fresh set of measurements. Boxes are stacked in the rooms they belong to and each threshold is planned, and then the first row is nailed.
We stand behind our labor for twelve months, and the mill backs the wood. If a seam shifts after the first humid summer, we return.

Boards follow the longest wall, wasting the least and lengthening a narrow cape living room.

Short boards set at right angles in alternating rows, an old-fashioned look for a farmhouse dining room.

Each board is mitered so rows form a V, a neat finish for the open kitchens of newer Carver builds.

Planks on the diagonal pull the eye across the room and make a small cottage kitchen feel larger.

Oak blocks with alternating grain in a parquet pattern, a fit for a sunroom with a view of the bogs.

Short strips woven over and under, with a darker border, a classic in older homes around South Meadow.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, with nails and underlayment inside the price. Add the wood from us and the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
No. Our trucks leave Natick every day, and the rate is the same here as near the warehouse.
Yes. The crew removes the carpet and pad, pulls the strips, fastens loose plywood and nails the oak onto a sound base.
Engineered planks floated over underlayment with glued seams. Labor for floating is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft and $1.99/Sq Ft for labor, a sensible choice below grade.
The day after you order, straight from Natick, so scheduling does not drag.
$60 for each hardwood tread, with riser, nosing and stain included. Good existing steps can be refinished for $50 each.
Labor is paid when the crew arrives and material when the boxes are delivered. For sanding, pay half at the beginning and half after the last coat.
