Walkthrough Before We Start
Old farmhouses here lean a bit after a century of frost heave, so the lead installer walks every room with a level and checks the joists from below before boards come in.

Every installer who walks into your Lisbon house is a Brazil Floors employee with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, so nothing about the job is handed off.
We tape each room door to door, then stack the cartons, trim and transition pieces in the order the rooms will be laid, which keeps the crew moving all day.
The labor is backed by our one year warranty and the oak itself carries the manufacturer warranty, two layers of cover that start the day the floor is finished.

Rows run with the longest wall of the room, which wastes the fewest boards and goes fastest. A long Lisbon farmhouse front room looks even longer.

Short lengths set at right angles in a zigzag, cut one piece at a time. The right look for a dining room in an eighteenth century house.

Boards mitered to meet in a crisp V down the center. Works well in the open kitchen and family room additions built onto Lisbon houses.

A 45 degree layout pulls the eye corner to corner and makes a tight farmhouse kitchen feel wider.

Oak blocks with the grain turned each way, classic parquet. A fitting floor for a sunroom or study in an older Lisbon home.

Short oak pieces woven over and under with a darker border, a pattern that suits the formal front rooms of a Lisbon colonial.



For nail down work the labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and nails plus underlayment ride inside that price. Add our oak and the complete job is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, tear out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft and covers carpet, pad, tack strips and staples. We screw down any loose subfloor before the oak arrives.
Stocked oak leaves our Milford warehouse for next day delivery. Material is paid when the boxes land at your door.
The estimate is free and the estimator carries oak, laminate and vinyl samples to set on your floor. Booking online takes $250 off.
Nobody on a Lisbon hardwood job is hired in from outside; each man is ours, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. We never hand a Lisbon job to a subcontractor.
We move it for a flat $250 and set it back when the floor is cured. Pianos and gun safes get discussed at the estimate.
Over sound plywood, nail down at $2.25/Sq Ft is plenty. Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive quiets a bouncy floor.
Labor is due when the crew arrives and starts work. Material is paid separately on delivery, and the one year labor warranty begins at completion.
