Hardwood Floor Installation Cost
Every hardwood floor we install in Merrimac is priced by the Sq Ft of labor, so a Victorian parlor and a tidy ranch hallway cost the same per foot. Nails and underlayment sit inside the rate, and no extra fees appear later.
Nail Down Installation
Raw oak is nailed to the subfloor and then sanded and finished right in the room. It is the classic route for the older houses around Merrimac Square.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts in Merrimac, with borders and inlays priced on site. Period Victorians often take herringbone, and newer open plans lean toward chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and installs fastest. In a long narrow hall it stretches the view.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces cut and set in a zigzag by hand. A period-correct choice for a Victorian dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards cut at 45 degrees meet along a center line in a V. Works well in a bright, open kitchen and living area.
Diagonal Hardwood
Angled 45 degrees across the room, planks make a small Merrimacport kitchen feel longer.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain give the old parquet look. Good for a sunporch with river light.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow pieces woven over and under with a dark border. Fits an older home with a formal front room.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in Merrimac?
The nail-down rate for labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, covering the nails and the underlayment beneath. If we supply the wood, unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished is $6.00.
Can hardwood go over the carpet in my Victorian?
The carpet comes up first, along with the pad and tack strips, and any soft subfloor is fixed. Then the oak is nailed over sound plywood. Pulling old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What should I use over a damp or slab floor?
Engineered hardwood. It floats with glued seams so nothing is nailed into the slab, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you install other floors besides hardwood?
Yes, vinyl plank at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor and laminate at $1.99. Waterproof vinyl is the safer pick near the river.
How soon can I get the material?
Boxes are delivered a day later, straight from the Natick warehouse to your driveway.
What would new oak stairs cost?
Each new hardwood tread is $60, riser, nosing and stain included. Stairs that are still solid can be refinished at $50 per step.
How do payments work?
Labor is paid when the crew shows up, and material when it arrives at your door. Sanding is paid half up front and half at the last coat.
Is the work under warranty?
Yes, a one year labor warranty from us plus the manufacturer's warranty on the wood. The crews hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
