Boots tracked in from a muddy yard, a kitchen where kids do homework on the floor and a hound that sleeps across the doorway. Oak with a hard finish handles that kind of life.

Cartons leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings them to the curb, so the crew rarely stands idle waiting for wood.
We carry oak, hickory and engineered samples into your rooms and set them next to your own baseboards, because a small borough house with deep set windows gives its own kind of light.
One year of labor coverage backs the installation, and the lumber maker adds a separate warranty. Brazil Floors employees lay every strip.

Old pine subfloors in village houses often shift, so oak goes over a fresh plywood layer that quiets the hall.

Basements near the Millstone River get engineered planks on a moisture pad rather than glued boards.

Long front porches and narrow farmhouse doors mean we hand carry each bundle and lay down floor protection.

Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive suits boards over plywood in a split entry house.

A light, wire brushed hickory plank warms a country kitchen with a natural look.

Mud season comes every spring, and a tough finish near the back door keeps the boards looking clean.



For labor, expect $2.25/Sq Ft to nail down, $2.50 to nail and glue with adhesive extra, and $2.00 to float engineered. Bring the wood through us and the all in figure is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
It will once the low spots are shimmed or planed and loose decking is fastened. Old frame houses move over the decades, which is why we plan for it at the first visit.
Engineered planks are the answer there, floated on a moisture rated pad for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. We test the slab before anything is laid.
Yes, our crew pulls it for about $1.00/Sq Ft and loads the debris into our truck. Soft or noisy spots underneath are repaired first.
Scheduling the estimate on our website cuts $250 from the total. If you want help clearing rooms, furniture moving is a flat $250.
A pair of prefinished rooms is typically finished in a day or two. Raw oak that gets sanded and sealed in the house needs closer to a week.
All of it comes out of our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ. Once you place the order, next-day delivery from Long Branch handles the rest.
Only Brazil Floors employees, who are licensed, insured and NWFA certified. The labor warranty runs a full year and the lumber has its manufacturer coverage.
