Walkthrough Before We Start
Wood stove ash, firewood carried in through the mudroom and a pair of hounds after a muddy hillside walk. Oak under a hard coat survives all of it.

Everything is stored at our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch gets it up the hill to your driveway while the crew is ready.
An estimator arrives with oak, maple and engineered pieces and rests each against your trim, so you judge color by the light in your own Hampton windows.
We guarantee our labor for one year, and the lumber keeps its manufacturer warranty. Brazil Floors employees do the work, not hired outside crews.

Old frame houses move with the seasons, so nailed oak over a shimmed subfloor keeps hallways from squeaking.

Floated planks in a walkout lower level can take furniture the same day the last piece is set.

Steep driveways are no obstacle because the bundles are carried the final stretch by hand.

Where boards go over plywood, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps the whole floor firm.

A light prefinished oak opens up a small dining room with a single window.

A tough satin coat stands up to hearth ash and boots coming in from the yard.



Our labor charge is $2.25/Sq Ft when boards are nailed, $2.50 plus adhesive when they are nailed and glued, and $2.00 for a floating engineered install. With lumber from Brazil Floors, the all in figure is $5.50/Sq Ft raw or $6.00 prefinished.
It does, provided we shim low joists and secure the loose subfloor first. A house that age has usually moved, so we walk the floor with a level at the estimate.
Engineered planks floated over a pad are the right match, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. A moisture test of the slab comes before we order.
We will, at around $1.00/Sq Ft, and carry the debris away. Any soft or noisy subfloor is corrected before the first new plank.
Book your free estimate through our website and $250 is taken off the project. If you prefer, we shift the furniture for a flat $250.
A few prefinished rooms are normally finished in one to two days. Raw oak that we sand and coat in your home needs about a week.
Our stock sits in a warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrives on a next-day delivery from Long Branch after you place the order.
Brazil Floors employees only, with licensing and insurance in place. You receive a one year labor warranty plus the manufacturer warranty on the planks.
