Walkthrough Before We Start
Tired subfloors in the two and three family houses of Highwood and settled sills in prewar Spring Glen capes throw a floor off level, so our lead inspects the base, every threshold and the stairs before any oak comes in.

Remeasure and Material Count
Measuring comes first, every room with a tape, then the cartons, reducers and trim are staged by the door so the nailer never waits on material.

One Year Install Warranty
The labor is warrantied for one year by us, and the planks hold their manufacturer warranty, so both the workmanship and the wood are protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet all go down in Hamden by Brazil Floors, with borders and inlays priced during the estimate. Spring Glen colonials favor herringbone, while new construction near Quinnipiac University picks chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the long wall, the fastest layout and the one that wastes least. A Centerville ranch reads longer and wider this way.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards meet at 90 degrees in a zigzag, each one cut and fitted by hand. Period correct for a dining room in a Whitneyville colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards mitered at 45 degrees so every row closes in a crisp V. Suits the open kitchens in newer Mount Carmel houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks lead the eye across the room, which makes a compact Whitneyville cape kitchen feel bigger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet blocks of oak, each square turned against its neighbor. A traditional look for a sunroom facing Sleeping Giant.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak slats woven over and under, usually with a contrasting border. Classic in the older homes off Dixwell Avenue in Highwood.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on cost, start dates and prep for a hardwood floor installation in Hamden, from Highwood to Mount Carmel.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood floor installation in Hamden?
Nail down hardwood runs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, and the nails and underlayment are already in that price. When the oak comes from our Milford stock as well, you pay $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished, installed.
Can you pull the carpet in my Spring Glen cape and lay oak?
Yes, and tear-out costs about $1.00/Sq Ft. Carpet, pad and tack strips come out, loose subfloor gets screwed down, then the oak is nailed.
My Spring Glen basement is concrete, what can you install there?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam with glue in the joints, since nails cannot go into concrete. Labor for that is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Is vinyl plank or laminate something you install too?
Yes, vinyl at $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate at $1.99/Sq Ft of labor. Waterproof vinyl is the better pick for basements along the Mill River.
How quickly does the wood get to Hamden?
Next day from the Milford warehouse, about half an hour down the road. The boards sit in the house a few days to acclimate before the crew nails them.
Can stairs be done in the same visit?
A new oak tread with riser, nosing and stain costs $60 per step. Existing oak stairs that only need sanding and finish are $50 per step.
When do I pay?
The crew collects for labor on the morning they arrive, and the wood is paid as the boxes come through the door. Sanding, if any, is split half at the start and half at the last coat.
What warranty comes with the install?
A year on our labor and the manufacturer warranty on the oak. Every installer is a licensed, insured, NWFA certified Brazil Floors employee.
