One Year Install Warranty
The work is warrantied for one year on labor, and the oak keeps its manufacturer warranty, so both sides of the job are covered after we leave.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We install straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet across Darien, with borders and inlays quoted at the visit. Older homes near Noroton favor herringbone, while new builds off Ox Ridge lean chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, the lowest waste layout. It lengthens a compact Noroton Heights cape.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short planks laid in a 90 degree zigzag, each one fitted individually. Period correct for a dining room in an older Darien colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees so they meet in a clean V, suited to the open plans of newer Ox Ridge houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal layout carries the eye across the room and makes a small Noroton kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, true parquet. A traditional choice for a sunroom near Weed Beach.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under with a contrasting border, still found in the older homes along the Boston Post Road.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood floor installation in Darien?
Nail down installation holds at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, nails and underlayment inside. Wood and labor together are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace the carpet in my Noroton Heights cape?
Yes, we pull carpet, pad and tack strips at about $1.00/Sq Ft, then tighten any loose subfloor before nailing the oak.
What goes over the slab in my Darien lower level?
An engineered oak floor floated on foam, $2.00/Sq Ft for the labor. Solid oak needs plywood to nail into, so it stays on the upper floors.
Are vinyl plank and laminate on the menu too?
We do, vinyl plank at $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate at $1.99/Sq Ft, underlayment included in both. Many Darien houses pair oak upstairs with vinyl in the basement.
When is the flooring delivered?
Boxes leave Milford for next day delivery and sit in your house a few days to acclimate before installation.
What do oak stair treads run?
$60 per tread, including the tread, riser, nosing, stain and labor. A typical Darien colonial flight is 13 or 14 treads.
How do payments work?
Wood is paid at delivery and labor the morning the crew arrives. Moving furniture, if you want it, is a flat $250.
Is there a warranty on the installation?
Brazil Floors covers labor for one year, and the hardwood carries its own manufacturer warranty.
