Walkthrough Before We Start
A muddy lab, a hockey bag dumped in the mudroom, winter salt tracked in from the driveway. Oak with a tough finish takes that routine in stride.

Orders ship from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings them up Route 57 and Route 46, so the crew works without waiting.
An estimator comes to the house with oak, maple and engineered samples and holds each against your walls. Daylight through a Warren County window changes a stain more than people expect.
Labor is under a one-year warranty from us, and the manufacturer stands behind the wood. Our own licensed, insured and NWFA certified employees do all installation.

Nailed strips over a re-secured subfloor settle the noisy boards that settle into creaky houses with a hundred years behind them.

Floating planks lie over concrete in condos and apartments, and a dense pad softens footsteps for neighbors underneath.

Narrow farmhouse stairs and deep porches do not slow us down, because the crew carries every carton in by hand.

Boards glued and nailed at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive hold steady over plywood in a raised ranch on the edge of town.

A pale prefinished maple brightens a north-facing den of the sort common in older houses near Sandbar Park.

Wet boots and woodstove ash near the back entry call for a hard finish and a tight board fit, which is how we lay it.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50 for nail and glue plus adhesive, and $2.00 for a floating engineered floor. Add our boards and the installed rate is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
In most cases, yes. We shim and fasten the low zones first, and we judge how much correction is needed while we are standing in the room.
A floating engineered floor is the sensible path there, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. A moisture reading on the concrete comes before any recommendation from us.
Yes, at around $1.00/Sq Ft, with disposal included. Loose or noisy spots in the subfloor are repaired before the new boards arrive.
A flat $250 covers that. Reserving your estimate online knocks $250 off as well.
Prefinished boards in two rooms usually take a day or two. Raw oak finished on site takes closer to a week.
Everything leaves our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch follows your order.
Only Brazil Floors employees, never subcontractors, with a year of labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the wood.
