Our labor carries a twelve month warranty, and the boards keep the maker's own coverage, so the workmanship and the wood both stay protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Meriden homes take straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. Tall Broad Street parlors lean toward herringbone, while remodeled ranches ask about chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run parallel to the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and they lengthen a narrow front room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards laid in a stepped zigzag and cut one at a time, a period touch for a formal dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a clean V, which flatters open kitchens in remodeled houses near Hubbard Park.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal run carries the eye across a room and lets a slim downtown kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares laid with alternating grain, parquet style, a classic floor for a study off Colony Street.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually inside a darker border, a look at home in the grand front rooms of Broad Street.

Hardwood Floor Installers in Meriden
The crew leaves the store and warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays with one Meriden house until the last board is set. On this job the underlayment went down first, oak was nailed tight and boards were trimmed at a door frame, the same method a Colony Street home gets.

Flooring Services in Meriden
Oak installs top the list in Meriden, and the same crew also sets vinyl plank and laminate, resands, restains, swaps cracked boards and rebuilds stair treads.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation run in Meriden?
In Meriden, nailed oak labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, glue assisted nailing is $2.50 plus adhesive and floated engineered oak is $2.00. When we supply the wood the installed rate is $5.50 unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
Can new oak go over my old floorboards?
Often, once loose boards are screwed down and plywood bridges any gaps. We look at the base during the visit and tell you what it needs.
Does hardwood work in a damp cellar?
Only floated engineered oak qualifies, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor with a pad, and the slab must test dry first. Solid oak is kept for upper floors.
Will you remove the flooring I have now?
Removal with haul away is around $1.00/Sq Ft. Any squeaks or soft plywood get fixed before the first new board is nailed.
Is there a discount for booking online?
Yes, a Meriden estimate booked on our website takes $250 off. Furniture moving is a flat $250.
How do payments work?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives in the morning and material is paid as it is delivered. Sanding is billed half at the start and half after the last coat.
How long should I plan for?
Prefinished oak in a few Meriden rooms generally takes one or two days. Raw boards sanded and sealed on site need closer to a week.
Who does the work and what is guaranteed?
Brazil Floors employees alone, no subcontractors, with twelve months of labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty on the oak.
