Licensed, Insured Installation
Every installer in your East Hartford home draws a Brazil Floors paycheck and carries a license, insurance and NWFA certification, so your property and the job stay protected.

Remeasure and Material Count
The crew measures every apartment or room, stacks cartons and trim by the entry and gives the oak time to settle, because the lower floors near the Connecticut River hold damp.

One Year Install Warranty
The labor is covered for a year by us and the planks by their manufacturer, so the nailing and the wood each have their own backing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet throughout East Hartford, with borders priced at the house. Older homes along Main Street lean herringbone; renovated condos near Riverside Health Center pick chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards parallel to the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least cutting. A Mayberry Village cape looks longer for it.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set at 90 degrees in a zigzag, fitted one by one. A period look for a dining room in a prewar Main Street home.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meeting in a clean V. Suits the open plans of remodeled homes near Goodwin University.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set diagonal to the walls carry the eye across the room and widen a small Hockanum cape kitchen.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain turned each square, parquet fashion. A classic for a sunroom facing the river near Great River Park.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under with a darker border. Found in the older houses between Main Street and Burnside Avenue.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, scheduling and prep for hardwood floor installation in East Hartford, from Burnside to Hockanum.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in East Hartford?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment in the price, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. With oak from us the installed package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you do one apartment at a time in a three family?
Yes, we schedule each unit separately so tenants are disturbed for only a few days. Stairs and common halls can be added to any unit.
Will you pull the old carpet in a Mayberry Village cape?
We remove carpet, pad and tack strips for about $1.00/Sq Ft and screw down any soft subfloor. The oak is then nailed over sound plywood.
What goes over the slab in a lower level near the river?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam with a vapor barrier beneath. Solid oak should never be nailed to concrete.
How long must the oak sit in the house first?
Three to five days in the rooms where it will be installed. Delivery from Milford is the next day, so that wait begins almost at once.
Who is doing the work in my house?
Employees of Brazil Floors, each licensed, insured and NWFA certified. We send no subcontractors into East Hartford homes.
When is payment due?
Labor is paid as the crew begins and material when the boxes reach the house. Moving the furniture, if you would rather we did it, is a flat $250.
What is the warranty on the installation?
One year on the labor from Brazil Floors plus the manufacturer warranty on the planks. Any gap or squeak from our work is fixed free.
