/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Pattern changes how a room reads. Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet are all within reach for our installers, and the examples below show where each one fits in a Kingston home.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run along the longest wall, which wastes little wood and keeps a living room looking calm and open.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in alternating angles give a dining room a woven, traditional look.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends meet in a V that carries the eye down a long hall or across an open kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards turned 45 degrees to the walls make a tight bedroom feel wider and hide a wall that drifts out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares rotated one against the next build a checkered grid, a neat choice for a sunroom or study.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, usually with a darker border, suit a formal entry in an older house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Most Kingston owners want the cost, the start window and the furniture plan settled first. The answers below cover all three.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the labor price for hardwood installation in Kingston?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside that rate. With material from us, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished $6.00/Sq Ft.
I have old carpet on the second floor. Do you take it out?
Yes. Tear-out of old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the crew hauls the debris off. Moving furniture out and back is a flat $250 if you would rather not lift it.
Should the boards sit in the house before installation?
Solid hardwood needs time to adjust to your rooms, and we check moisture in the wood and the subfloor before nailing. Skipping that step is how gaps and cupping start.
Can I put real hardwood in a basement near the river?
Engineered planks are the right call there. They float over underlayment for $2.00/Sq Ft with glued joints, so the slab stays untouched.
Is there a discount on the wood?
Material bought through Brazil Floors can come with up to 30% off. Reserve the estimate through our website and $250 comes off the job.
Where does the flooring ship from?
Your order is delivered the next day from our Natick warehouse at 9 Cochituate St, and the crew sets the start date around it.
When do I pay for the work?
Labor is due when the crew arrives to begin, and the material is paid when the boxes are delivered. Nothing extra is added later.
What happens if something goes wrong after the install?
Our labor carries a one-year warranty and the manufacturer covers the wood. Call 508-306-4190 and the same licensed, insured crew returns to look at it.
