Dedham hardwood installation carries a single labor rate per Sq Ft. A colonial near the Fairbanks House and a split level in Oakdale pay the same, and the written estimate leaves out nothing.
Nail Down Installation
Raw red or white oak is nailed down, sanded in place and finished in the house. This is the usual route for the Victorians and colonials near Dedham Square.

One Year Install Warranty
Brazil Floors backs the labor for one year, and the mill backs the wood with its own warranty, which means the work and the boards are both protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet across Dedham, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Older homes near the First Church and Parish tend to pick herringbone, and newer renovations choose chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running planks parallel to the longest wall is the fastest layout and cuts waste to a minimum. It makes a narrow Dedham hallway read as longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths set at right angles in a zigzag, each piece cut by hand. A period match for a dining room in an old Dedham colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board is cut at 45 degrees so the rows meet in a crisp V, which flatters a renovated kitchen opened to the dining room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks angled across the room carry the eye outward, so a small Riverdale kitchen seems wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares set with the grain alternating, a parquet that fits a sunroom in a Greenlodge house.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, typically trimmed with a darker border, are at home in the Victorians around Dedham Square.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Get plain answers on price, start dates and preparation for hardwood floors in Dedham, from Mother Brook to the Norfolk County Courthouse.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the price of hardwood installation in Dedham?
Our nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. With the wood supplied by us, the total reaches $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you put new oak over the old boards in my Dedham colonial?
We can remove the old floor, repair any weak subfloor and nail the new oak to solid plywood. Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What kind of floor suits a basement slab?
Engineered hardwood is the answer. It floats on foam with glued joints, so nothing is driven into the concrete, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Do you handle vinyl plank and laminate too?
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl is a sensible pick for a laundry room or basement.
How soon does the wood show up?
It comes from our Natick warehouse the next day. Because the drive is short, installation can begin soon after.
How much is a new oak stair tread?
One tread is $60, with the riser, nosing, stain and labor in the price. Stairs that are still solid can be hand refinished for $50 a step.
When is payment due?
Labor is due when the crew starts, and material when it is delivered. Sanding jobs split payment, 50% when work starts and 50% with the final coat.
What does the warranty cover?
Labor carries a year of coverage from us, and the boards carry the maker's warranty. Our installers hold licenses, insurance and NWFA certification.
