One Year Install Warranty
The labor is warrantied by us for a full year, and the oak keeps its manufacturer warranty, so the workmanship and the material are both protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet throughout Cromwell, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Older homes in Upper Houses lean toward herringbone; new builds off Route 99 ask for chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows run parallel to the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and it stretches a compact ranch near Watrous Park.
Herringbone Hardwood
Boards of one length set at right angles in a stepped zigzag, fitted by hand. Right for the dining room of an Upper Houses colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks cut at 45 degrees meet in a continuous V down the room. A sharp look for an open kitchen in a new home off Route 99.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal boards pull the eye to the corners, which makes a small kitchen in a Main Street condo feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Square oak blocks laid so the grain turns ninety degrees from block to block. A traditional pick for a den in a colonial near Pierson Park.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak strips woven over and under inside a contrasting border. Suits the formal front rooms of the older Main Street homes.

Our own crew comes up Route 9 from the Milford warehouse at 92 Munson St and stays with a Cromwell job from the first tape measure to the final sweep. In this ranch they laid underlayment, nailed red oak tight and squared each doorway, the same approach we take from Pierson Park to Upper Houses.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Direct answers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood floor installation in Cromwell, from Upper Houses to Watrous Park.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation run in Cromwell?
For nail down work the labor is $2.25/Sq Ft flat, and that figure already carries the nails and underlayment. With oak from our Milford stock, the complete job is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished boards or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you replace the carpet in my postwar ranch with oak?
Yes. We pull the carpet, pad and tack strips, screw down any loose subfloor and nail the new oak over sound plywood.
My condo sits on a slab. What can go down?
Engineered oak floated on foam with glue in every joint, so nothing is fastened into the concrete. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you handle vinyl plank and laminate too?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and waterproof vinyl suits a lower level close to the Connecticut River.
How fast does the wood reach Cromwell?
The next day, straight up Route 9 from the Milford warehouse. The oak then acclimates in your house for a few days before we nail it.
How much are new oak stair treads?
A new tread is $60 with the riser, nosing, stain and labor included. Sound existing stairs can be sanded and refinished for $50 per step instead.
What is the payment schedule?
You settle the labor on the morning the crew pulls in, and the material as the cartons come through the door. There is no deposit to reserve a date.
Does the installation come with a warranty?
Yes. One year on our labor plus the manufacturer warranty on the boards, installed by a licensed, insured, NWFA certified crew.
