Remeasure and Material Count
Before the first nail, the crew tapes every room, stages cartons and trim inside the door and lets the oak acclimate, because a house by the Connecticut River holds moisture.

One Year Install Warranty
A year of labor warranty comes from us, and the boards keep their own manufacturer warranty, so both the nailing and the wood are protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight runs, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in East Haddam, with borders quoted on site. The old houses on Town Street tend toward herringbone, while newer builds off Route 149 go with chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the longest wall, which wastes the fewest boards and goes down fastest. A Moodus ranch looks longer for it.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths meet at right angles in a zigzag, every piece trimmed on site. Right at home in a Town Street dining room built before 1800.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a tidy V. A strong look for the open layouts of newer homes off Route 149.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks run corner to corner across the room, which stretches a small cottage kitchen near Lake Hayward.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with the grain turned every other square, parquet fashion. Suits a sunroom looking over the Salmon River in Leesville.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under, often inside a darker border. Seen in the older houses near the Goodspeed Opera House.

Hardwood Floor Installers in East Haddam
Our own crew drives up from the Brazil Floors warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays on your East Haddam job until the last threshold is set. In this house they rolled underlayment, nailed red oak tight to the joists and squared the hall doorway, the same routine we follow from the river houses of Hadlyme to the mill cottages of Moodus.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Honest numbers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood floor installation in East Haddam, from Moodus up to Millington.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in East Haddam?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included, or $2.50/Sq Ft for nail-and-glue plus adhesive. Buy the oak through us and the installed package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
My Town Street house is from the 1700s. Can you nail over the old wide boards?
Often yes, once we screw down anything loose and check the frame for slope. Where the old boards are too uneven, a layer of plywood goes down first and we price that on the visit.
What works for a lake cottage on Lake Hayward that sits empty all winter?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam handles the swings in humidity better than solid oak. We also meter the subfloor before anything goes down.
How long does the oak need to sit in the house first?
Three to five days in the rooms where it will be installed, longer in a damp river house. We deliver from Milford the day after you order so the clock starts early.
Do you handle the old carpet in a Moodus ranch?
We pull carpet, pad and tack strips at about $1.00/Sq Ft, then fix any soft decking before the oak goes in. Our estimator confirms that number on site.
Who actually shows up to do the work?
Our own payroll crew, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. We do not hand jobs to subcontractors anywhere in East Haddam.
When is payment due?
Labor is due the morning the crew pulls up and material the day the boxes land in your garage. Moving furniture is a flat $250 if you want us to do it.
How is the floor covered after the install?
Brazil Floors warranties the labor for one year and the manufacturer covers the planks. Any seam or squeak from our work gets fixed at no charge.
