Remeasure and Material Count
Measuring comes first, then cartons, trim and reducers are staged at the door and the oak rests in the house, since rooms near Lake Pocotopaug carry extra humidity.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind the labor for a full year while the manufacturer backs the planks, so the nailing and the wood each have their own cover.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet are all installed by Brazil Floors in East Hampton, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Village homes near Main Street favor herringbone while newer builds on Long Hill Road lean chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows parallel to the longest wall, the layout with the least cutting. A Cobalt ranch reads longer and wider.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards at 90 degrees forming a zigzag, each one fitted individually. Period correct in a Middle Haddam dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards cut at 45 degrees meeting in a crisp V down the center. Made for the open floor plans of newer Long Hill Road homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal run pulls the eye across the room and opens up a compact lake cottage kitchen at Pocotopaug.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet blocks of oak, grain turned square by square. A classic touch for a sunroom in Middle Haddam overlooking the Connecticut River.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under inside a contrasting border. Found in the older village houses off Main Street.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers about price, scheduling and prep for hardwood floor installation in East Hampton, from Cobalt to Middle Haddam.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood floor installation in East Hampton?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft including nails and underlayment, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. Material and labor together run $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished oak or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace the carpet in a Long Hill Road ranch?
Yes, we remove the carpet, pad and tack strips for about $1.00/Sq Ft and tighten any soft subfloor. The new oak is then nailed over sound plywood.
What should go in a lake cottage on Pocotopaug that stays shut all winter?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam tolerates the humidity swings far better than solid boards. We meter the subfloor before a single plank is opened.
Does the wood need to acclimate before you nail it?
Three to five days in the rooms it will live in, a bit longer near the lake. Next-day delivery from Milford means that wait starts almost immediately.
Will you nail over the old wide boards in a Middle Haddam house?
Usually, after screwing down loose boards and checking the frame for sag. If the old surface is too uneven, a plywood layer goes down first and we price it on the visit.
Who does the installation?
Our own crew on the Brazil Floors payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. No work in East Hampton is passed to subcontractors.
How does payment work?
Labor is paid when the crew begins and material when the boxes arrive at the house. Should you want the furniture moved, that is a flat $250.
What warranty do I get?
One year on the labor from Brazil Floors plus the manufacturer warranty on the oak. A squeak or gap from our work is corrected at no cost.
