One Year Install Warranty
The labor is backed by our one year warranty and the planks by their manufacturer, so the work and the wood are both covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet floors across Fairfield, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Old colonials on Bronson Road favor herringbone; renovated beach houses pick chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows run parallel to the longest wall, which wastes the least oak and goes down fastest. It stretches a Tunxis Hill cape visually.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces meeting at 90 degrees in a zigzag, each one cut and fitted. Period correct for a dining room on Bronson Road.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees so each pair meets in a clean V. Fits the open plans of the new builds near Lake Mohegan.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks run on the diagonal pull the eye across the room and make a compact Fairfield Beach kitchen feel larger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain turned block to block, parquet style. A traditional floor for a library on Greenfield Hill.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under inside a contrasting border. Suits the older homes along Old Post Road.

Our own installers leave the warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford, about 20 minutes up I-95, and stay on your Fairfield job until the final transition is in. In this home they rolled underlayment, racked the oak and nailed each row tight, the same way we work from Greenfield Hill to Southport.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, prep and scheduling for a hardwood floor installation anywhere in Fairfield, Southport to Stratfield.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Fairfield?
Fairfield nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are part of that figure. When the oak comes from us as well, the Fairfield package is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished boards and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you put hardwood in a 1920s Stratfield house?
Yes, and those homes usually have a sound board subfloor that we screw flat before nailing. The new oak then runs perpendicular to the joists.
What floor works in a beach house on a slab?
Engineered hardwood floated on a pad with glue in every joint, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Nothing is nailed into the concrete, and a vapor barrier goes underneath.
Do you also do vinyl plank and laminate?
We do both in Fairfield, vinyl plank at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor and laminate at $1.99/Sq Ft. Waterproof plank is the better call for a mudroom or a lower level near the beach.
How quickly can the wood get to Fairfield?
The truck leaves Milford the day after you order and is in your driveway in about 20 minutes. Raw oak then sits in your Fairfield rooms for a few days to adjust before the nailer comes out.
Can the stairs be done at the same time?
Yes, a new oak tread with riser, nosing, stain and labor is $60 per step. Existing oak steps in decent shape are refinished for $50 per step.
How does payment work on a hardwood job?
Labor is paid the day the crew starts, and the oak is paid when the Milford truck unloads it. Any sanding is billed 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
Is the installation warrantied?
Yes, twelve months on our labor plus the manufacturer warranty on the planks. Every installer on a Fairfield job is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
