Walkthrough Before We Start

Many Melrose homes are Victorians and early twentieth century houses, and their subfloors rarely stay perfectly flat. Our lead installer tests the base, checks every threshold and looks over the stairs before the order is placed.

Licensed, Insured Installation

No outside contractors. Everyone in your house is a Brazil Floors employee, with a license, insurance and an NWFA certification.

Remeasure and Material Count

On the first morning we recount the cartons and lay out the transitions at each doorway. Then the nailer starts the first row.

One Year Install Warranty

We warrant our labor for a full year, and the planks carry the mill warranty. Labor is paid when we start, material when the boxes arrive.

Hardwood Floor Installers in Melrose

The crew drives out of the Natick warehouse and stays on your Melrose job through the final sweep. In this house they rolled out underlayment, nailed the oak in tight rows and fitted the doorways, the way they do on streets from Cedar Park to Ell Pond.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ

Melrose homeowners usually want to settle cost, timing and what to move out of the rooms. Answers are just below.
Get your Free In-Home Estimate
How much is hardwood installation in Melrose?

Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside. Wood from us makes the installed total $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.

Can you remove carpet in an old Melrose house?

Yes. The carpet, pad and tack strips go out, weak spots in the subfloor are secured and the oak is nailed over solid plywood. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.

What goes over a concrete basement slab?

Engineered hardwood, floated over padding with glued joints so the slab is never drilled. Labor for it is $2.00/Sq Ft.

Do you also put in vinyl plank or laminate?

We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl suits basements and entries best.

How fast does the wood show up?

The next day from our Natick warehouse. At the estimate we pick the product and plan the work.

What does an oak stair tread cost?

A new tread is $60, covering riser, nosing, stain and installation. Sound treads can be refinished at $50 per step.

How do payments work?

You pay labor when the crew arrives and material when the boxes land. Sanding is split, half at the start and half at the final coat.

Does the install come with a warranty?

Yes. We warrant labor for one year, and the wood has its manufacturer warranty. The employees on site hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
