Remeasure and Material Count
Cartons are counted when we measure and counted again on install day. Reducers and trim go to their doorways first, so the nailing runs without stops.

One Year Install Warranty
Workmanship is guaranteed for one year from us. Whatever the mill promises on the boards is theirs to honor, so labor and material are both protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet are all available in Lowell, and any border or inlay is priced when we see the room. A pattern that looks right in a mill loft may be wrong in a bungalow, so we talk it through.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the longest wall in the room. It wastes the least wood and stretches a tight parlor.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces alternate in a stepped zigzag, a period look that works in a dining room of a Victorian.
Chevron Hardwood
Every plank end is cut at 45 degrees, so the rows come together in V shapes across a long kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Set on the diagonal, boards add width to a small bedroom and take attention off crooked walls.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned against each other in grain direction build the classic parquet grid for a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
A woven weave of short oak pieces with a dark border suits the front hall of an older house.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Lowell
Our crew starts each day from the Brazil Floors store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St in Natick and stays on the same job until the broom goes back in the truck. This house got a new underlayment layer, tight oak rows and squared door openings, the same sequence we use from brick mill-district flats to duplexes near Pawtucket Falls.

New oak is only one thing we do here. The crew also installs vinyl plank and laminate, sands and recoats, stains, patches boards and builds stairs.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Price, schedule and room prep are what Lowell homeowners ask first. We answer them below for homes from the Acre to Centralville.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat do you charge to install hardwood in Lowell?
Labor for a nail-down floor is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment built in. Supplying the wood ourselves brings the installed total to $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Can you remove the old floor in my triple-decker unit?
Yes. Tear-out of the existing floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the figure is confirmed when we see the rooms at your free estimate.
My unit sits on a concrete slab. What are my options?
Floating engineered hardwood. It rests on padding with glued joints and never gets nailed into the slab, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Is it better to buy unfinished or prefinished boards?
Unfinished lets you choose the stain and gives a continuous coat after sanding in place. Prefinished is walkable sooner and avoids the sanding step.
When will the material show up?
It leaves our Natick warehouse and arrives the next day. We bring samples to the house during the estimate.
Do you handle furniture and stairs?
Furniture moving is a flat $250. New oak treads are $60 each, and refinishing existing stairs is $50 per step.
How are payments scheduled?
The crew gets its labor payment on arrival, and the boxes are paid for as they come off the truck. A sanding job is billed in two halves, one when the machines start and one with the last coat.
What backs up the installation?
A year of labor warranty comes from us, plus the manufacturer warranty on the flooring. Our installers are on payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
