Walkthrough Before We Start
Ranches and split levels from the postwar building boom can have uneven slabs and thin subfloors, so our lead installer probes the base, checks each threshold and measures the stairs before ordering a single box.

The people laying your floor are Brazil Floors employees with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, so your Dracut house stays protected through the whole job.
On day one the crew re-measures and lines up cartons, trim pieces and reducers in the rooms that need them. Work keeps flowing since no one leaves to hunt for parts.
A one year warranty stands behind the labor, and the maker warrants the boards, giving you cover on the installation and the oak both.

Boards laid parallel to the longest wall waste the least wood and are quickest to set, and they stretch a compact Dracut ranch.

Short boards turned ninety degrees make a zigzag, each piece cut and fitted separately. A fine match for a formal dining room in an older Dracut colonial.

Mitered at 45 degrees, rows come together in a neat V. Newer open-plan homes near Beaver Brook suit the look.

Planks run on the diagonal lead the eye across the floor, so a modest kitchen near Dracut Center looks wider.

Oak squares with alternating grain give a parquet floor, a traditional answer for a sunroom facing the Merrimack River.

Short oak lengths woven over and under, often with a contrasting border. A staple of the older front rooms along the river.



Labor for a nail-down job is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are in that number. Buying the wood from us brings it to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. The carpet, pad and tack strips come up, soft subfloor gets secured, and the oak is fastened to solid plywood.
Engineered hardwood. It floats on padding with glue in each joint, so no nail touches the concrete. Labor for that is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate. Vinyl plank is a good fit for basements and mudrooms where the Merrimack damp creeps in.
The next day. Trucks leave our Natick warehouse daily, and the drive north is short, so the job starts soon after.
A new tread is $60, covering riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing wood stairs can be refinished at $50 per step.
Labor is due as work begins, and material is due when the boxes come off the truck. Sanding is split in half, at the start and at the last coat.
Labor is covered for one year and the boards have the maker's warranty. Every installer we send is licensed and insured and carries NWFA certification.
