Walkthrough Before We Start
Mill-era houses near the old Cheney buildings often have narrow rooms and tall doorways, so we plan the board layout around them before ordering.

Remeasure and Material Count
The first visit is about numbers: room measurements, a moisture reading and a note on every threshold. All of it lands in one written quote.

One Year Install Warranty
Brazil Floors covers labor for a year, and the maker covers the boards. Labor is billed at the start, boxes when they are dropped off.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns are all offered, and borders or inlays are priced when we see the room. A plain run suits a cape, and chevron gives a mill-conversion loft some drama.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, which trims waste and makes a narrow hallway look longer than it is.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone is laid piece by piece in a zigzag, and it pays off in a dining room people actually look at.
Chevron Hardwood
Chevron rows are cut at 45 degrees and meet in a clean V, a strong match for a wide family room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid diagonally pull the eye across a small room and make it read wider than the tape measure says.
Checkerboard Parquet
Parquet squares with alternating grain bring back the old-world look that many Manchester basements and dens once had.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually framed by a dark border, give an entry hall plenty of character.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood installation cost in Manchester?
Nail-down labor is priced at $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment included. With our wood supplied as well, installed prices are $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you install over the old boards in my mill house?
Usually, after the crew checks them for soft spots and moisture. Loose or rotted sections are repaired first and written onto the quote.
What will you charge to remove the old floor?
Removal runs about $1.00/Sq Ft with disposal included. It is itemized on the estimate before anything starts.
How soon does the wood arrive?
Boards ship from Milford the following day, and the crew calendar often opens a start date inside the week.
Should I pick nail-down, nail-and-glue or floating?
Nail-down feels the most solid, and floating engineered planks suit concrete. Floating planks are $2.00/Sq Ft for labor, while nail-and-glue installs are $2.50/Sq Ft with adhesive billed separately.
Do you give discounts on wood?
Up to 30% off material purchased through Brazil Floors, and $250 off once the estimate is booked online.
When am I billed?
Labor is billed the morning work begins, and material the day boxes are delivered. Nothing is owed before then.
Is moving furniture included?
It is available for a flat $250, and everything is put back after the final sweep.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Glastonbury, East Hartford, Vernon, Bolton and South Windsor border Manchester, and our crew travels to each with the same flat labor rate.
Glastonbury colonials often sit on old plank subfloors, so a hardwood job there starts with a flat plywood layer.
In East Hartford, solid oak is nailed down at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, and the nails are part of that price.
Vernon homes with a cold slab or a lower level can float engineered boards on foam for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Bolton households choose prefinished boards because the family walks on the room the day the crew leaves.
South Windsor staircases get new oak treads at $60 each, every one cut to land flush with the upstairs hall.
