Walkthrough Before We Start
We open with a careful walk-through. The lead installer presses on the subfloor, notes how each threshold meets the old floor and plans the direction of the boards.

Brazil Floors puts its own payroll employees in your home. Each is NWFA certified, licensed and insured, and subcontractors are never part of the job.
Installation day starts with another round of measuring. Cartons are tallied, transitions are placed at every opening, and only then does the nailer come out.
A year of warranty stands behind our labor, while the planks carry the manufacturer's materials coverage, so both the wood and the work are protected.

Rows follow the longest wall, which wastes little wood and helps a narrow hall read as longer.

Short boards set in alternating directions give a dining room the feel of a woven rug.

Board ends are cut at 45 degrees so rows meet in a crisp point that leads the eye along the room.

Laid on a diagonal, planks seem to widen a small kitchen.

Oak squares turned grain against grain create a parquet floor for a den.

Short oak strips woven over and under, bordered in a darker wood, belong in an older center-hall farmhouse.



Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside. With the wood from us it totals $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Often yes. We check how much the subfloor moves, fasten or level weak areas, then lay the oak on a firm base.
We do. Carpet, pad and tack strips are removed at about $1.00/Sq Ft before the new boards are nailed down.
Engineered planks, floated over underlayment with glued joints. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
The day after your order, from our Natick warehouse, so boxes sit in the house before the crew begins.
Yes, a flat $250. Clearing the room yourself avoids it.
Labor is paid when the crew arrives, material when boxes are delivered, and sanding jobs in two halves.
Our labor is covered for a year, the manufacturer covers the boards, and our installers are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
