One Year Install Warranty
A one year warranty covers our labor, and the mill warrants the wood, so the installation and the material each have backing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns in Dudley, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Homes near the First Congregational Church often suit herringbone, while newer builds favor chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks laid parallel to the longest wall use the least wood and go down fastest, and they lengthen a narrow Dudley hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces turned at right angles make a zigzag, each one fitted by hand. A fine match for the dining room of an older house near the Black Tavern.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards mitered at 45 degrees join in a clean V, a sharp look for open plans in newer homes off Route 31.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks pull the eye across the room, so a small kitchen near Nichols College feels broader.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain make parquet, an old-style answer for a sunroom looking toward the lake.
Basket Weave Parquet
Oak pieces woven in an over-under pattern, frequently with a darker border around the edge. At home in the front rooms of nineteenth-century houses on Dudley Hill.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Honest answers about price, start dates and preparation for hardwood floor installation in Dudley, from Dudley Hill to the lakeshore.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Dudley?
Our nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment counted in. Buy the oak through us and the all-in price is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put hardwood in a lake cottage that used to be seasonal?
Yes. We check the subfloor and moisture first, fix soft areas and then fasten boards to a solid base.
What works over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated on padding with glue in the joints, so nothing is driven into the slab. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also do vinyl plank and laminate?
We do, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft and $1.99/Sq Ft. Vinyl plank is a solid answer for basements and mudrooms near the water.
When does the material arrive?
The day after you order, off the shelves in our Natick warehouse, so the schedule stays tight.
How much do oak stair treads cost?
A new tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing wood stairs are refinished at $50 per step.
When do I pay?
Labor is due when the crew starts, and material when the boxes are unloaded. Sanding is paid half at the beginning and half at the final coat.
Is the installation warrantied?
Labor has a one year warranty and the wood has the manufacturer's. Each installer who comes to the house is licensed and insured and holds an NWFA certification.
