One Year Install Warranty
The labor is backed by our one-year warranty and the boards by their manufacturer warranty, so both the workmanship and the oak have cover in writing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all get installed by Brazil Floors in Colebrook, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Farmhouses on Route 183 tend toward herringbone; newer builds pick chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and goes fastest. It lengthens a low-ceilinged Colebrook cape.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set in a zigzag at 90 degrees, every piece fitted individually. Right for the dining room of an old Colebrook center farmhouse.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards cut at 45 degrees meet in a continuous V down the room. A good fit for the open plans in newer Colebrook houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal run draws the eye across the room and makes a small kitchen in a Robertsville cottage feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with the grain alternating square by square, true parquet. Suits a library in one of the older homes on Route 182.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven in an over-under basket pattern, often with a dark border. Found in the old houses near the Colebrook center.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Honest answers on cost, timing and prep for hardwood floor installation in Colebrook, from the center to North Colebrook and Robertsville.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the cost of hardwood floor installation in Colebrook?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft flat, with nails and underlayment part of that rate. Wood and labor together are $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished oak or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace the old carpet in my Colebrook farmhouse with hardwood?
Yes. The carpet, its pad and the tack strips are removed for about $1.00/Sq Ft, any loose subfloor gets screwed tight, and only then is the oak nailed down.
What goes over the slab in a walk-out basement?
Floating engineered hardwood, glued at the joints, with no nails into the concrete. Labor for that is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Besides hardwood, can you put in vinyl plank or laminate up here?
Yes, vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft. Waterproof vinyl is a smart pick for Colebrook mudrooms and lower levels.
How long before the wood arrives in Colebrook?
Next day from our warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford. The oak then sits in the house a few days to adjust to the hill country air before nailing.
How much is a new oak stair tread?
Each new tread costs $60, and the riser, nosing, stain and labor are all part of it. Sanding and refinishing an existing sound step is $50.
When is payment due?
Labor on the morning work begins, material when the delivery lands. Should you want the crew to carry out the furniture, that adds a flat $250.
Do you warranty hardwood installation in Colebrook?
Yes. One year on our labor and the manufacturer warranty on the planks, installed by licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees.
