Walkthrough Before We Start
Before any carton is opened, our lead installer tours each room with you, testing soft spots and planning where oak meets slate, linoleum or the woodstove hearth.

Nobody but Brazil Floors' own NWFA certified installers ever kneels on your subfloor. We're licensed and fully insured on every hilltown job, Glendale to Bancroft.
That first morning, measurements happen again with fresh tape. Each carton, reducer and length of trim gets tallied, since a hardware run from Bell Road eats half a day.
Twelve months of coverage protect our installation labor, and the mill that cut your planks honors its separate warranty.

Planks marching along your longest wall: the plainest, most timeless layout, and the thriftiest with lumber.

Herringbone stacks short pieces into zigzags, each end butting its neighbor's long edge.

Chevron ends are cut at an angle, so every row points like an arrow down a farmhouse hall.

Run at forty five degrees, planks make a cramped bedroom under the eaves feel roomier and hide crooked plaster walls in 1800s homes.

Parquet is small square blocks with the grain turning block by block, a tailored look for a Glendale dining room.

Basketweave sets short strips in pairs that switch direction, like a woven placemat under a study desk near Glendale Brook.



Labor for nailed hardwood is $2.25/Sq Ft, underlayment and cleats included. Want Brazil Floors to supply the oak as well? Unfinished oak is $5.50/Sq Ft installed, or go prefinished at $6.00/Sq Ft.
Often. Wide plank subfloors from the 1800s can sag or creak, so we check them using a long straightedge plus a moisture meter, and shore up soft areas before oak goes down.
Sure, lots of families run it straight through. We look closely at the spot in front of the kitchen sink, and if the dishwasher area gets splashed every day, engineered planks may make more sense.
Our crew. Pulling up and hauling away old flooring runs about $1.00/Sq Ft. Need furniture carried out and back in? That's one flat $250.
Not solid strips. Over a cellar slab, engineered planks float on foam; labor is $2.00/Sq Ft, each joint gets glued and the concrete stays untouched by nails.
Normally the next day, trucked from our warehouse in Coventry. Solid oak then sits in your house a few days to get used to the hilltop air before we fasten it.
Labor is settled the morning installers pull into your driveway, material when it's unloaded. In-home estimates and samples come free.
Our licensed, insured crew guarantees the installation for twelve months, and the mill warranties the wood. If you have a cheaper written hardwood quote, show us and we'll beat it.
