Walkthrough Before We Start
Commuters hauling bags in from the Morris and Essex train, kids tracking in from a Drew University game day, a dog on the dining room runner. Oak takes it and ages well.

Material rides out of our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts it in your garage, so the installers do not sit idle waiting for a pallet.
Boards go on your own floor before anything is ordered. Holding a prefinished plank next to your window casing shows how it reads in the soft light of a Madison parlor.
Labor is covered for one year and the planks carry the mill warranty. Brazil Floors puts its own payroll crew in your house, never a subcontractor.

Narrow strips of oak run through an old center hall and tie new rooms to the original ones without a visible seam.

Wide engineered boards float over concrete in a townhouse and stay calm through humid August weeks.

Long driveways and steep front steps are routine, since the crew carries every bundle inside by hand.

Boards nailed and glued at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive give a quiet, solid floor over a plywood subfloor in a renovated kitchen.

A light, matte prefinished oak keeps a sunroom bright and shows far less dust than a dark stain.

Mudroom entries take the worst of winter salt, so a tougher finish goes on the boards by the back door.



Plan on $2.25/Sq Ft for labor if the oak is nailed down, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00/Sq Ft for floated engineered. Buying the wood from us brings a finished price of $5.50/Sq Ft raw or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
They will once we shim or plane the low joists and screw down loose subfloor. Houses of that age have settled for a century, so we plan the leveling into the estimate.
Engineered planks are the better pick there, floated or glued at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We check slab moisture and heat settings at the visit before choosing.
We pull it up at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft and load the scrap onto our truck. Squeaks and soft areas in the subfloor get repaired before the first new board.
Booking the estimate online takes $250 off. Sofas, beds and bookcases can be shifted by our crew for a flat $250.
A few prefinished rooms usually finish in one or two days. Raw oak sanded and coated in the house takes nearer a week.
It all ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch follows your order.
Brazil Floors employees, never subcontractors, who are licensed, insured and NWFA certified. Labor carries a one-year guarantee, and the mill stands behind the material separately.
