Orders ship from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch puts the cartons in your garage before the crew needs them.
Samples come to the house, so you can set oak, engineered and prefinished boards on your own subfloor and judge the color against Middlesex daylight and your trim.
Labor is covered for one year after we finish, and the boards carry the manufacturer warranty. The installers on your floor draw a Brazil Floors paycheck, and nobody is hired out to a third party.
