Licensed, Insured Installation
Stock sits in our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch drops it at your address so the install is not held up for lack of boxes.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A Queen Anne with a turret room, a bungalow with built-ins and a gut renovated kitchen all ask for different wood. Here is how we match species to house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Century old joists carry a little flex, so extra fasteners keep the oak above them from talking.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks laid over a new slab stay flat as the seasons turn.
Chevron Hardwood
Deep porches and narrow side doors are routine for our crew, who hand carry each bundle to the room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Where a bungalow has a plywood addition, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive draws the strips tight.
Checkerboard Parquet
A prefinished pale ash gives a narrow dining room more light and conceals everyday dust.
Basket Weave Parquet
Entry boards face salt from the sidewalk, so we finish them with a tougher, scuff resistant topcoat.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat should I budget for hardwood in Metuchen?
Expect $2.25/Sq Ft for nailing down, $2.50 with adhesive added for nail and glue, and $2.00 for a floated engineered floor. Ordering lumber through us puts raw oak at $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished at $6.00, installed.
The floor in my Victorian has a noticeable hump near the stairs. Can new oak still go in?
Almost always. We find the hump at the estimate, flatten or shim around it, and lay the boards over a level plane.
Is hardwood fine in a basement I finished recently?
Engineered planks are the match there, floated over a vapor barrier at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Solid strips should stay off concrete.
What happens to my existing floor?
We pull it for about $1.00/Sq Ft and haul it away. Squeaks and soft areas in the base are fixed before new wood arrives.
Can I cut the cost by booking the estimate online?
Yes, $250 comes off when you book that way. If you want the rooms cleared for you, our flat furniture fee is $250.
How long should I expect the work to last?
Two rooms of factory finished oak are normally finished in a day or two. Oak sanded and sealed in place needs about a week.
Where does the wood ship from?
From our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, arriving the next day from Long Branch after you order.
Who is in my house and what backs the job?
Brazil Floors employees only, with a one year labor warranty plus the mill warranty on the boards.
