Remeasure and Material Count

One Year Install Warranty
Labor carries a twelve month warranty and the mill guarantees the oak, so both the workmanship and the lumber have someone standing behind them.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in Middletown, with borders quoted at the house. Victorians along High Street often go with herringbone, while newer Bretton Heights homes lean toward chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the long wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and they stretch a narrow front hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short planks form a right angle zigzag, each end cut on the spot. A period look for the dining room of an older North End home.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered at 45 degrees meet in a crisp V, a fit for the open plans of newer houses in Newfield Heights.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid diagonally draw the eye across the room, so a small North End kitchen appears wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned in alternating directions form a parquet that gives a front parlor a traditional floor.
Basket Weave Parquet
Thin oak strips woven over and under with a dark border suit the oldest houses near the river.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on price, start dates and preparation for hardwood installation in Middletown, from South Farms to Washington Street.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in Middletown?
Nail down labor in Middletown is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment counted in. Order the boards from us and the full package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak be installed over the old board floors in a Victorian?
Generally, once loose boards are fastened down and a plywood layer gives a flat base. That prep is itemized separately on the estimate.
What works over a concrete slab in a finished basement?
Floating engineered oak at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor is the usual answer. If a moisture test on the slab is high, vinyl plank is safer and we will say so plainly.
Do you cover Middletown from the Milford warehouse?
Yes, the crew drives up with the whole day's materials. Product ships from the warehouse the day after you order.
How soon will the flooring be delivered?
The morning after you order, and the planks then acclimate in your house for a few days before nailing. The material balance is due as the cartons come off the truck.
Can you rebuild the staircase while you are there?
Yes, each hardwood tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. We tint it to coordinate with the new floor.
What do furniture moving and old floor removal cost?
Moving furniture is a flat $250 and tearing out old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft. Both numbers go into your written quote.
When is payment for labor due?
On the morning the crew shows up. Sanding work is split, half when we start and half after the last coat.
