Remeasure and Material Count
On the first visit we tape out each room and work out how many cartons you need. On install day the trim pieces and reducers are staged at every opening before a single plank is nailed.

One Year Install Warranty
Our labor is guaranteed for one year after the last board goes in. The wood itself is covered by the manufacturer, so both the craftsmanship and the material have backing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet in Longmeadow, and borders or inlays are priced at the visit. Stately older homes usually suit herringbone, while a tidy straight lay keeps a ranch simple.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run alongside the longest wall, which trims waste and lengthens a narrow living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short oak lengths turn in alternating directions to form a stepped weave, an apt choice for a dining room in a traditional house.
Chevron Hardwood
With every plank end cut on a 45 degree bevel, rows meet in sharp arrows that guide the eye through a wide kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Run corner to corner, the boards make a modest den look wider and distract from walls that are not quite square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with the grain turned against each neighbor make a patterned floor that looks right in a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Thin oak strips woven over and under, framed by a darker border, give an entry or study a hand-built look.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Most Longmeadow homeowners want to know the price, the start date and how to prepare the rooms. The answers below are written for houses between Route 5 and the river.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Longmeadow?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails plus underlayment are part of that figure. If you buy the wood from us, installed unfinished hardwood totals $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished totals $6.00/Sq Ft.
Do you take out the old floor first?
Yes. Tear-out of carpet, tile or worn boards runs about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we confirm that number when we measure at your free estimate.
My finished basement sits on concrete. Can it get real wood?
It can, as engineered hardwood. The planks float over padding with glued joints, so nothing is fastened into the slab, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Should I pick unfinished or prefinished oak?
Unfinished boards are sanded and coated in your home, which leaves a seamless surface and lets you choose the color. Prefinished boards skip that step and are quicker to live on.
How soon does the flooring arrive?
Material ships from our Natick warehouse and reaches you the next day. Samples come to the house at the estimate, so you can compare them in your own light.
Can your crew move the furniture?
Yes, for a flat $250. The crew shifts the pieces out of the working rooms and sets them back once the job is complete.
When do I pay?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives and work begins, and material is paid when the boxes are delivered. Sanding is split into 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
What does the warranty cover?
Our labor comes with a one-year warranty, and the boards carry the manufacturer's own coverage. Every installer on the crew holds a license, carries insurance and has NWFA certification.
