Walkthrough Before We Start
Our lead installer starts by pressing the subfloor, sighting along each doorway and checking the stairs, because a salt air island house can move more than a mainland one.

Hardwood Floor Installation Cost
Hardwood floor installation in Edgartown runs on a set price per Sq Ft, starting at $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down labor with nails and underlayment counted in. A captain's house by the harbor and a cottage on Chappaquiddick pay the identical rate, quoted in writing.
Nail Down Installation
Red or white oak is fastened to plywood, then sanded flat and coated inside your home. It is the old school pick for the whaling era houses on North Water Street.

Remeasure and Material Count
Day one begins with a fresh tape measure on every room, then cartons are staged where they will be laid and trim pieces wait by the door, which keeps the nailer working without gaps.

One Year Install Warranty
Brazil Floors stands behind the labor for a full year, and the maker's own warranty covers the boards, so nothing in the house is left unprotected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Layout changes how a room feels as much as the wood does. Edgartown homes get straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal or parquet, with inlays and borders priced once we see the space. Wide straight planks look right in a shingled living room, and herringbone dresses a formal entry.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall, so offcuts stay small and a narrow Main Street sitting room reads longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards set in a zigzag give a captain's hallway the hand-built look it had a century and a half ago.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks cut to meet in a sharp point, a clean match for the open plans of newer houses above Katama.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards run corner to corner on a 45 degree line, which draws the eye outward and widens a small guest room.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with turning grain make a parquet floor, a traditional answer for a sunporch on the Chappaquiddick side.
Basket Weave Parquet
Strips woven over and under, framed by a dark border, give a dining room in an older village home some detail.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Edgartown?
Labor for nail down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft, with the nails and underlayment inside that figure. Bring the wood through us and it totals $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
How does the wood get to the island?
Boxes leave our Natick warehouse the day after you order, and we plan the ferry crossing so the crew and the material arrive together. You do not have to arrange any of the trip yourself.
Will island humidity move a new floor?
Wood swells and shrinks near the water, so we read moisture before nailing and leave an expansion gap at every wall. A dehumidifier in a damp lower level helps keep boards flat.
Can you work in a house that sits empty in winter?
Yes. Hand over a key or a lockbox code and the crew takes care of delivery, installing and cleanup, with labor paid once work begins.
Do you replace floors in the old whaling captain houses?
We do. Old flooring comes up first at about $1.00/Sq Ft, then we check the boards and subfloor underneath and fasten or replace anything soft before oak goes down.
Is vinyl or laminate better for a damp basement?
Vinyl plank, which is $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. Laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft and works well in dry bedrooms and living areas.
When do I pay?
Labor is due when the crew arrives and material when the boxes are delivered. A sanding job splits 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
What guarantees come with the work?
Our labor is warrantied for a year, with the manufacturer covering the wood itself. Everyone on the crew holds a license, insurance and an NWFA certificate.
