Walkthrough Before We Start
Old farmhouses in Colrain settle unevenly, so before any plank is nailed the lead installer checks the joists, taps the subfloor for soft spots and looks at every threshold and stair.

Every installer is on the Brazil Floors payroll and holds a license, insurance and NWFA certification, so the people in your Colrain house are covered from first nail to last.
The crew measures each room again on arrival and stages cartons, reducers and trim where they will be used. Nobody walks back to the truck in the middle of a row for a missing piece.
You get one year of warranty on our labor and the mill's own warranty on the boards, which covers both the workmanship and the wood.

Boards run along the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow farmhouse parlor.

Short pieces turned ninety degrees in a zigzag, each cut by hand. A fitting touch for a formal dining room in an older Colrain house.

Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a tidy V down the middle. Good in the open kitchens of newer Catamount Hill builds.

Planks set diagonally pull the eye across the room, so a small Stewartville kitchen reads wider than it is.

Oak squares alternate their grain in classic parquet. An old-fashioned choice for a sunporch in Foundry Village.

Short oak lengths woven over and under, usually edged with a darker border. It suits the front rooms of Colrain City homes built a century ago.



Nail-down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are part of it. With the oak supplied by us, the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Usually, yes. We check the joists and subfloor on the free visit, flatten or reinforce the weak spots and then fasten the boards to a base that is sound.
Engineered hardwood. It floats on padding with glued joints, so nothing is driven into the slab, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do, and either one is $2.00/Sq Ft or $1.99/Sq Ft for labor. Vinyl plank is the smart pick for mudrooms and cellars that see snowmelt every March.
Boxes ship the day after you order, straight off the Natick shelves. After you pick the wood at the estimate, the boxes reach your door while the crew schedule is set.
A new hardwood tread is $60, with riser, nosing, stain and labor counted in. Existing wood stairs can be sanded and refinished at $50 per step.
Labor is due when the crew arrives and work begins, and material is due when the boxes are delivered. A sanding job is paid half when it starts and half at the final coat.
Yes. Our labor carries a one year warranty and the boards keep the manufacturer warranty, and every installer is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
