/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns in Cheshire, and borders or inlays are priced at the house. Older colonials tend to ask for herringbone, while newer open plans in town lean toward chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run parallel to the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and lengthens a narrow Cheshire family room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag, each cut and fitted by hand. A dining room in an older colonial wears it well.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards mitered at 45 degrees make a row of tidy V shapes, a good match for open plans in newer subdivisions.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set on a diagonal pull the eye across the room, so a compact kitchen near Highland Avenue looks wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain give a sunroom or den the classic parquet look.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under, usually framed by a border, suit the older homes along Wallingford Road.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on price, start dates and prep for a hardwood installation in Cheshire, whether you live near Mixville Pond or up Waterbury Road.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Cheshire?
In Cheshire, nailing oak down costs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, and nails and underlayment are inside that rate. Add the wood through us and the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put hardwood where carpet is now in a 1970s colonial?
Yes. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, screws down loose plywood, then nails the oak onto a sound base. Taking the carpet or old planks to the curb adds about $1.00/Sq Ft to a Cheshire job.
What goes over a concrete basement slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated on underlayment with glued joints so nothing is nailed into the slab. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also do vinyl plank and laminate?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and either can be done in the same visit as a hardwood room.
How soon does the flooring arrive?
Material ships from our Milford warehouse and reaches the house the next day. The crew checks the subfloor first, then starts laying.
What does a new oak stair tread cost?
Each new oak step is $60 and covers the tread, riser, nosing, stain and installation. Refinishing an existing step is $50.
When do I pay?
You pay labor on the morning the crew shows up and material when the cartons reach your door. If you would rather not lift the dresser yourself, furniture moving is a flat $250.
Is the work guaranteed?
Labor carries a one-year warranty from Brazil Floors, and the boards carry the manufacturer warranty. Booking the estimate online takes $250 off.
