Walkthrough Before We Start
Prewar colonials in Old Greenwich and 1960s splits in Cos Cob both carry sags and soft spots, so the lead installer tests the subfloor, checks each door opening and looks at the stair landing before any wood arrives.

Boxes, baseboard and transition pieces get staged by the entry on the first morning, and each room is measured a second time so the layout runs exactly as drawn.

One Year Install Warranty
A full year of labor warranty from us sits alongside the manufacturer warranty on the boards, so both the installation and the oak itself are covered.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all go in across Greenwich, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Prewar homes near Greenwich Avenue favor herringbone in the foyer; newer builds off North Street ask for wide plank straight runs.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least cutting. It lengthens a narrow Riverside cape living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards meet at right angles in a zigzag, each piece fitted by hand. Period correct for a dining room in an Old Greenwich colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards mitered so each row meets in a V down the room. Suits the open kitchens in the newer houses off North Street.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal lay carries the eye across the floor and widens a tight galley kitchen in a Byram cape.
Checkerboard Parquet
Square oak blocks laid with the grain turning block to block, in the parquet tradition. A traditional floor for a sunroom overlooking the pond at Binney Park.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under with a contrasting border. Seen in the older homes along the Boston Post Road in Cos Cob.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Greenwich
Our crew comes down I-95 from the Brazil Floors store and warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays with a Greenwich project until the last reducer is set. In this house they rolled underlayment, nailed white oak tight through the living room and squared the openings to the sunroom, the same work we do from Byram to Round Hill.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Greenwich
Along North Street we nail oak most weeks, and the same crew lays vinyl plank and laminate, sands and refinishes old floors, changes stain colors, replaces damaged boards and fits new oak treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear figures on labor, delivery and prep for a hardwood floor installation in Greenwich, from Byram to the Back Country.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in Greenwich?
Labor for nail-down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft, and nails plus underlayment are already inside that rate. With boards from us the whole job is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace the carpet in our Riverside colonial?
Yes. The crew removes carpet, pad and tack strips, screws down any loose subfloor and nails the new oak over sound plywood.
What goes on the slab in our Old Greenwich lower level?
Floating engineered oak with glued joints over a vapor pad, so nothing is nailed into the concrete. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Could we get vinyl plank or laminate from you for the lower level?
Both, at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl labor and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate. Waterproof vinyl is the smart pick for a mudroom or a basement close to the Sound.
How fast does the wood reach Greenwich?
The day after you order, on our own truck from Milford. Solid oak then rests in the house for a few days before nailing.
What do new oak stair treads cost?
A new tread with riser, nosing, stain and labor is $60 per step in Greenwich. If the oak you have is still sound, refinishing those treads is $50 per step instead.
How is payment handled?
The material is settled the day the boxes land and the labor the morning the installers walk in. Holding a date costs nothing.
Is there a warranty on the installation?
Brazil Floors stands behind the labor for twelve months and the plank maker stands behind the wood. Each installer in your Greenwich home is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
