Walkthrough Before We Start
Mill era framing in Jewett City and damp cellars along the Pachaug River leave many floors out of true, so our lead checks the subfloor, each threshold and the stair landing before the first board goes down.

Every installer in your Griswold home is a Brazil Floors employee carrying a license, insurance and NWFA certification, so your house and our people stay covered start to finish.
On the first morning the crew tapes every room and lines up cartons, trim and transitions near the door, so the installation runs without pauses for missing pieces.
The labor is backed by our one year warranty, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards themselves, so both the work and the oak have cover after we leave.

Boards follow the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and a narrow Jewett City mill house reads longer for it.

Short lengths meet at right angles in a zigzag, each one cut and fitted by hand. Right for a dining room in an older Griswold farmhouse.

Planks cut at 45 degrees meet row by row in a crisp V, a fit for the open floor plans in the newer homes along Route 164.

Boards set diagonal to the walls pull the eye corner to corner, so a tight kitchen in a Glasgo cape feels wider than it measures.

Oak squares with the grain turned block by block, parquet style, a traditional look in a sunroom near Ashland Pond.

Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually framed by a darker border, a classic in the older houses along Main Street in Jewett City.



Nail down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment in the number. With our wood included, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
Often the old board subfloor needs a layer of plywood so the nails hold. We check it at the estimate and put any prep on the quote as a real number.
A typical three bedroom house takes two to three days for prefinished boards. Unfinished oak adds sanding and finishing, so plan on about a week.
Yes, with engineered planks floated on a pad for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak needs plywood, so the slab gets a floated floor instead.
We do, for a flat $250 covering the whole house. Clear the small things and we handle the sofas and beds.
Material is paid when the boxes land at your door, and labor is paid the morning the crew starts. There is nothing to pay before that.
Stocked oak leaves our Milford warehouse and reaches you the following day. Special orders take longer and we give you the date up front.
Booking the free estimate online takes $250 off the project. Buying the wood through us can also save up to 30% on material.
