Walkthrough Before We Start
Hat factory era houses off White Street settle unevenly over a century, so our lead checks the joists, each doorway and the stair landing before a single board is nailed.

Everyone who walks into your home is on the Brazil Floors payroll, carries a license and insurance and holds NWFA certification, with no subcontractor in the chain.
We lay out every room on paper, stack the cartons so they acclimate inside your Danbury house, and stage trim and reducers where the rows will end.
You get a year of labor warranty from us and the manufacturer warranty on the wood itself, so both the workmanship and the oak are covered after we leave.

Boards run with the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow Hayestown ranch visually.

Short boards cross at 90 degrees in a zigzag, every piece hand fitted. Right at home in a Victorian dining room off White Street.

Each row is mitered to meet its neighbor in a V, a pattern that suits the open kitchens in newer Great Plain houses.

Planks set at 45 degrees pull the eye corner to corner, making a compact Germantown kitchen read wider than it is.

Oak squares with the grain turned block by block, old school parquet. A good fit for a sunroom near Tarrywile Park.

Short pieces woven over and under inside a contrasting border, a pattern you still find in the older houses along King Street.



For nail down oak the labor comes to $2.25/Sq Ft, and nails plus underlayment ride inside that rate. With our wood the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, tear out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft and covers carpet, pad and tack strips. We screw down any loose subfloor before the oak goes in.
Engineered hardwood floated over foam at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak needs plywood to nail into, so it stays upstairs.
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate, both with underlayment included. Many Danbury homes mix oak upstairs with vinyl in the basement.
Boxes leave our Milford warehouse for next day delivery, and the crew lets them sit in your house to acclimate before nailing.
Each tread is $60 and includes the tread, riser, nosing, stain and labor. Most Germantown two families run 13 or 14 steps.
You pay for the wood on the day the boxes are dropped off and for labor on the morning the crew begins. Should you want the crew to shift furniture, that is a flat $250.
Labor carries a one year warranty from Brazil Floors, and the hardwood keeps its manufacturer warranty on top of that.
