Walkthrough Before We Start
Garwood houses are small, so every room gets used: a toddler's trucks on the living room floor, commuters kicking off wet shoes by the door, Sunday dinner crowding the kitchen. Oak with a durable finish copes.

Wood is picked from stock in our Long Branch, NJ warehouse and rides over with next-day delivery from Long Branch, which keeps the crew busy rather than waiting.
You get a visit from an estimator carrying oak, maple and engineered samples, which we hold against your walls so you see the color the way your rooms light it.
The labor on your floor has a one-year warranty, and the boards bring the manufacturer's. Nobody on site is a subcontractor; they are Brazil Floors employees.

Old pine subfloors in a Garwood bungalow need fastening before oak goes on, otherwise they wake the whole house with squeaks.

A finished basement takes engineered planks that float, with a pad underneath to take the chill off the slab.

Narrow front steps and small porches are no obstacle, since we hand-carry each box inside.

Plywood decking in a cape calls for nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, which keeps boards tight.

A light prefinished oak stretches the feel of a small dining room near the train station.

Winter salt and wet boots arrive at the front door, so entry boards take a harder topcoat.



Crew labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 plus glue for nail and glue, and $2.00 for floated engineered. Buying wood through us brings unfinished to $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished to $6.00.
Usually yes. We fasten loose boards, plane high edges and lay paper first, so the new oak sits flat and quiet.
Engineered planks floated over the slab are the way to go, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. A moisture reading comes first, then the right pad.
Yes, roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, with haul-off included. Squeaks and soft patches get corrected before the first new board.
A flat $250 gets everything moved out and back. If you book the estimate through the website, $250 comes off the total.
A pair of prefinished rooms need a day or two. Unfinished oak sanded and coated in the house takes nearly a week.
