Walkthrough Before We Start
Thames River humidity and salt air off the Sound keep summers damp, so the oak sits in your house until a meter shows it matches the subfloor. The first row waits for that reading.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet are all installed in Ledyard, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Raised ranches mostly keep straight strip; the newer homes near Long Pond ask about chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and they lengthen a Gales Ferry living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards laid in a stepped zigzag, every piece trimmed individually. A fine look for a dining room near Ledyard Center.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered into a sharp V down the center, suited to the open kitchens in the newer homes near Long Pond.
Diagonal Hardwood
A 45 degree run widens a narrow galley kitchen in a Gales Ferry ranch.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain, classic parquet, right for a den on Christy Hill.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven inside a darker border, a pattern for the front rooms of the older Ledyard Center colonials.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Ledyard
Our crew comes from the store and warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays on one Ledyard house until the floor is finished. Here they rolled underlayment, nailed red oak tight and scribed around a slider to the deck, the same work a raised ranch in Gales Ferry or a colonial near Ledyard Center receives.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Ledyard
New oak is what Ledyard asks for most, and the same employees also handle vinyl plank, laminate, resanding, color changes, single board swaps and oak stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on price, prep and a start date for hardwood floor installation in Ledyard, whether the house is in Gales Ferry, near the Center or out by Lantern Hill.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation in Ledyard?
Nail down runs $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, nail and glue $2.50 and floated engineered $2.00. If we supply the oak, unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished $6.00.
Does the damp air near the Thames affect oak?
It can if boards go down too soon. We let them sit in your house and nail only when the meter matches the subfloor.
Can hardwood go on the lower level of a raised ranch?
Engineered oak floated over a pad is the one option there, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid oak stays upstairs.
Do you remove old carpet and flooring?
We do, for roughly $1.00/Sq Ft, hauling included. Loose plywood gets screwed and low spots leveled before the oak.
Is there a discount for booking online?
Book through the website and $250 comes off the installation. Furniture can be moved by us for a flat $250.
How long does a typical Ledyard job take?
Prefinished oak in a few rooms is usually done in one or two days. Unfinished oak that gets sanded and finished in place takes about a week.
Who does the installation?
People on the Brazil Floors payroll who hold our license, insurance and NWFA certification. No Ledyard job goes to a subcontractor.
What warranty do I get?
A year on our labor and the manufacturer warranty on the boards, both counted from the day we finish.
