Walkthrough Before We Start
Muddy boots from the riverbank, a screen door that never stays shut and a dog that loves the porch. Red oak with a hard finish takes that routine without complaint.

Your boxes leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrive with next-day delivery from Long Branch. Nobody waits around for lumber.
One visit and the samples are on your floor: oak, maple and engineered, laid beside your baseboards so you judge the shade in the light of your own windows.
Labor is covered for a year, the boards carry the maker's warranty, and the people on your floor are Brazil Floors employees, not hired-in subs.

Strip oak tightens up the springy boards in older frame houses along the river side of town.

Engineered planks float over the concrete in a finished lower level, so no nails touch the slab.

Tight front steps and narrow halls are routine for the crew, who hand each box in one at a time.

Plywood subfloors in a mid-century ranch take nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.

A pale prefinished oak brightens a small dining room that gets little afternoon sun.

Floors close to the Delaware humidity swing get a little extra acclimation before the first board is set.



Expect $2.25/Sq Ft when oak is nailed, $2.50/Sq Ft with glue added, and $2.00/Sq Ft when engineered planks float. With lumber from our yard the whole job lands at $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished strips and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Not once we fasten or replace the weak subfloor, which we do before any board goes down. Older riverside houses often settle unevenly, so we look for it at the first visit.
Usually yes, because it floats over concrete and tolerates moisture swings better than solid strips. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do, at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, loading the old flooring onto our truck as we go. Any squeaks get dealt with at the same time.
It is a separate flat $250 if you want the crew to do it. Many owners prefer to clear one room at a time themselves.
Two rooms of factory finished plank are normally done in a day or two. Raw oak that gets sanded and sealed in the house runs about a week.
Book the visit through the website and $250 comes off. Material bought through us is also discounted up to 30%.
Brazil Floors staff on our own payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. A one year labor warranty applies, along with the maker's warranty on the wood.
