/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A three-story Victorian, a center-hall Colonial and a compact bungalow call for distinct methods. Our pairing of wood and technique follows the house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Oak nailed over re-secured pine subflooring settles the groans out of a Victorian front hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float across a basement slab and give a playroom the look of wood without a moisture worry.
Chevron Hardwood
Tight front porches and winding stairwells in older Glen Ridge houses are handled by hand, one bundle at a time.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue, priced at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, grips boards laid over plywood in an addition behind a century-old house.
Checkerboard Parquet
A pale prefinished oak lifts the mood of a narrow dining room where the old woodwork runs dark.
Basket Weave Parquet
Boards by the front door get a durable top coat for rain, slush and the school-morning shuffle.

A Victorian off Ridgewood Avenue rarely needs only one kind of work. The crew installs vinyl and laminate too, refinishes, stains, mends damaged boards and builds stairs.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for hardwood in a Glen Ridge house?
Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down, $2.50 for nail-and-glue plus adhesive, and $2.00 for floated engineered. With our lumber supplied, finished prices are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00 prefinished.
The floors in my Victorian are well out of level. Will new oak lie flat?
It can, after we shim the low spots, plane the high ones and re-fasten the subfloor. A house of that vintage always has movement, so we survey it before quoting.
Can hardwood go on a basement slab?
Engineered planks over a vapor-resistant pad are the usual answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. We take a moisture reading before ordering a single carton.
Do you handle demolition of the floor that is there?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the old floor goes onto our truck. Squeaks and soft areas in the subfloor are repaired before oak goes down.
Is there an incentive for scheduling the estimate online?
The online booking carries a $250 credit. If you want help with heavy pieces, furniture moving is a flat $250.
How long will this take in my home?
Two rooms of prefinished boards typically need a day or two. Unfinished oak that gets sanded and coated in place stretches to about a week.
Where is the lumber stored?
It sits in our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ and travels to Glen Ridge by next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who is on the crew, and what warranty applies?
Brazil Floors employees only, with no subcontractors. Labor is guaranteed for a year, while the board manufacturer covers the wood.
