Walkthrough Before We Start
North Shore capes and colonials from the 1950s often hide board subfloors and sagging spots, so our lead walks the house first, tapping for soft areas and checking each doorway and stair.

A Brazil Floors employee, not a subcontractor, handles every board in your Danvers home, and each one is licensed, insured and certified by the NWFA.
When the crew shows up, rooms get measured again and cartons, trim and reducers are set out room by room. The nailer keeps moving because nothing is missing.
We back our own labor for a full year, and the mill stands behind the wood, so the workmanship and the material are each covered.

Running planks parallel to the long wall is the quickest layout with the least waste, and it lengthens a narrow Danvers hallway.

Short boards turned at right angles form a zigzag, each piece fitted by hand. A suitable detail for a dining room in an older Salem Village house.

Boards cut at 45 degrees join in a crisp V at the center. This looks sharp in the open plans of newer homes near Liberty Tree Mall.

Diagonal planks draw the eye across a room, and a compact kitchen on Old Spanish Road feels bigger for it.

Squares of oak with alternating grain make a parquet floor, a traditional look for a sunroom overlooking the Danvers River.

Short strips woven over and under, usually outlined in a darker border. They fit the formal rooms of Federal-era houses in town.



Our nail-down rate for labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, covering the nails and the underlayment. If we supply the oak, the all-in package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. We pull the carpet, pad and tack strips, secure loose subfloor and fasten the new boards to sound plywood.
Engineered hardwood floated on padding, with glue in the joints so no fastener enters the slab. That method costs $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft and $1.99/Sq Ft for labor. Vinyl plank is a strong choice for a basement or a mudroom where water shows up.
It is delivered the following day from our warehouse in Natick, which is a short drive away, so installation can follow quickly.
A new tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. Sound wood stairs can be refinished for $50 per step.
You settle labor the morning the crew walks in, and material the day the cartons are unloaded. On sanding work you pay half at the start and half at the last coat.
Labor is guaranteed for one year and the planks carry their manufacturer warranty. Each installer on the job holds a license, carries insurance and has earned NWFA certification.
