Salt air off the Sound and shore humidity are hard on subfloors, so our lead checks moisture, thresholds and stair openings before any carton is opened.

Everyone who installs in your Milford home is a Brazil Floors employee with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, never a subcontractor.
Tape goes along each wall first. Trim, reducers and cartons are staged by the door, which keeps the nailers from crossing the house twice.
Brazil Floors guarantees workmanship for twelve months, and the board maker warrants the oak on separate terms of its own.

Boards run parallel to the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and it stretches a narrow room.

Short pieces turn at right angles in a zigzag, each cut by hand, a period fit for a formal dining room.

Every board is mitered at 45 degrees so rows close in a clean V, which flatters a kitchen opening to the family room.

Planks laid on the diagonal pull the eye across a room and make a compact Devon kitchen feel wider.

Oak squares with alternating grain form a parquet floor, a lasting look for a den or a sunporch.

Thin oak strips weave over and under with a dark border, best saved for the entry of an older house.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. With our oak the job is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Often yes, once the subfloor is dry and sealed. We take a moisture reading at the estimate and tell you what the room needs.
Old carpet, pad and tack strips are pulled during prep. Taking up an old floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Yes, for a flat $250 across the house. Pieces return to their rooms once the oak is down.
Labor is paid when the crew arrives, and the wood is paid for when cartons are dropped off. Booking the estimate online takes $250 off.
They ship from our warehouse and normally arrive the next day. Material bought through us can run up to 30% cheaper.
Brazil Floors warrants labor for a year, and the mill warrants the boards. The crew in your home are our employees, licensed and insured.
The estimator brings oak samples to your door and lays them across your floor in your own light. The visit costs nothing.
