/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A 1920s house near downtown, a split level by Nomahegan Park and a basement rec room each take hardwood differently. Below is how we handle them.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Original fir subfloors in Tudor hallways get fastened first, so the new red oak lands without a creak.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered boards float over a basement slab with a vapor layer, a smart choice in a town where the Rahway River swells.
Chevron Hardwood
Porch steps, narrow side doors and a tight foyer do not slow the crew, since every box is carried in by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards glued and nailed to plywood in a Cranford split level stay put at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Checkerboard Parquet
A wide, pale prefinished oak opens up a small dining room off the kitchen.
Basket Weave Parquet
Entry boards get the toughest topcoat because winter slush from the train platform ends up right there.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for hardwood installation in Cranford?
Nail down labor sits at $2.25/Sq Ft, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, and a floated engineered floor at $2.00/Sq Ft. Buy the boards through us and installed pricing is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
My Tudor has a sagging hallway. Is it fine to lay oak over it?
We measure the dip, shim what needs it and fasten loose subfloor before any board goes down. Houses of that age move, so the prep gets priced at the first visit.
Does hardwood make sense in a basement near the Rahway River?
Engineered planks floated over a moisture layer are the safer pick there, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We test the slab and tell you plainly if water is still an issue.
Will you pull up the old carpet or floor?
Yes, removal runs about $1.00/Sq Ft with haul away. Staples, tack strips and squeaks are dealt with before new boards go in.
Can your crew move my furniture?
A flat $250 covers it, and everything goes back where you want it. Reserve the estimate on our website and the job drops by $250.
How many days should I plan on?
Two rooms of factory finished boards generally wrap up inside two days. Raw oak sanded and coated on site stretches toward a week, with drying time between coats.
Where does the wood come from?
Our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, which gives you next-day delivery from Long Branch after you confirm the order.
Who is on the crew and what is warrantied?
Only Brazil Floors staff, all licensed and insured, with NWFA certification behind the crew. You get one year on labor plus the maker's warranty on the material.
