Walkthrough Before We Start
Sea air swells and shrinks wood through the year, so before we open a single carton our lead checks the subfloor, the thresholds and the stairs in your Dennis house.

Licensed, insured, NWFA certified and on our payroll describes everyone who comes into your home, with no day-labor subcontractors in the mix.
Rooms get measured first, and cartons, trim and reducers are staged beside the door. That keeps the job moving from the first row to the last.
Brazil Floors warrants the labor for a year, and the mill warrants the boards, so you are covered on the workmanship and on the oak itself.

Laying boards along the longest wall wastes the least wood and moves quickest. A narrow cape hallway looks longer for it.

Short lengths set square to each other in a zigzag, each cut by hand. A fitting look for a dining room in an old East Dennis house.

Each board is mitered at 45 degrees so rows meet in a clean V, which suits the open kitchens of newer homes in South Dennis.

Planks laid on the diagonal draw the eye across the room, so a compact Dennis Port cottage kitchen feels bigger.

Oak squares with the grain alternating, in the parquet manner, make a lovely finish for a sunroom facing Nantucket Sound.

Short oak pieces woven over and under, often edged with a dark border, are a classic in the older houses near the Cape Playhouse.



Nail-down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment in the price. Supplying the wood ourselves brings the package to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
With good prep, yes. We read moisture first and choose sealed oak or engineered planks where the air or the foundation runs damp.
Engineered hardwood. It floats over foam with glued seams, so nothing is driven into the concrete, and labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl is a good fit for sandy entries and bathrooms.
The next day from our Natick warehouse. After it lands, the crew can begin once the room is cleared.
A tread is $60. Stairs that are still solid can be refinished by hand at $50 per step.
Pay labor as the crew arrives and material as the boxes are delivered. Sanding is divided, 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
It does. Labor has a one-year warranty from us and the boards have the manufacturer's. Each installer on the job carries a license, insurance and an NWFA certification.
