Walkthrough Before We Start
Houses that are centuries old are rarely square, so our lead checks the subfloor for movement, tests thresholds and studies the stairs before ordering material.

Remeasure and Material Count
The crew begins by measuring each room, then lines up cartons, trim and reducers near the door so the installers never stop to look for a piece.

One Year Install Warranty
One year of coverage applies to our labor and the maker warrants the boards, which gives you protection on workmanship and on the wood itself.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns in Ipswich, with borders priced during the visit. Colonials near the center often take herringbone, and newer houses favor plain straight boards.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the long wall, the most economical layout, and stretch a narrow room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turn ninety degrees in a stepped pattern, a period appropriate choice for a dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, rows join into a V that suits open plans in newer homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks laid at a diagonal lead the eye across the room and enlarge a small kitchen.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with alternating grain bring parquet to a sunroom full of light.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under inside a dark border are a fine fit for a formal parlor.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Ipswich?
Installing nailed oak costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, with fasteners and underlayment already in the rate. Bought through us, the boards bring the package to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak go into a very old house?
Yes. Our lead checks the framing and subfloor first, secures anything loose, and then the oak is nailed over sound plywood.
What do you use over concrete?
Floating engineered planks with glued joints, so no nail touches the slab. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can I also get vinyl plank or laminate?
Yes, labor is $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate, a good call for a mudroom or a rental.
How soon do boxes arrive?
They ship from the Natick warehouse the day after you order.
Can you replace my stair treads?
One new hardwood tread, complete with riser, nosing, stain and fitting, costs $60. If the stairs are sound, refinishing is $50 per step.
How do I pay?
Labor when the crew arrives, material when boxes are delivered, and sanding in two halves at the start and at the final coat.
What is warrantied?
Our labor for one year, and the boards by their maker. Everyone on the crew carries a license, insurance and an NWFA credential.
