Everyone who walks in works on Brazil Floors payroll, with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, and there are no subcontractors.
On day one we measure again, carry cartons to the rooms where they will be used and set trim and reducers by the door, which keeps the nailer moving.
You get twelve months on our labor, and the planks carry the mill's materials warranty, so a gap in either one has a named owner.

Boards run with the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste. It stretches a narrow hall in a hillside cape.

Short pieces turn at right angles in a zigzag, cut one at a time. It suits a dining room in an old village home.

Each row is mitered at 45 degrees and meets in a neat V. Open plans in newer houses near the ski area look good this way.

Planks set on the diagonal pull the eye across a room, which opens up a small camp kitchen.

Squares of oak with the grain alternating, in classic parquet style, make a sunroom with a view of the hills feel finished.

Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually with a dark border, fit the older homes in the center of town.

A new tread costs $60 and includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing steps in good shape can be refinished for $50 each.
You pay labor as the crew starts and material as the boxes come off the truck. Sanding bills half up front and half after the last coat.
