/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors sets hardwood in straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet around Milton, with borders and inlays priced on site. Grand rooms on Milton Hill suit herringbone, and open plan renovations lean to chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run parallel to the long wall, a layout that wastes the least wood and makes a hallway look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
In herringbone, short boards meet in a hand cut zigzag, a classic touch for the dining room of an older Milton house.
Chevron Hardwood
Every board in a chevron floor is cut at an angle so the rows join in a crisp V, handsome in a renovated open kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Set at 45 degrees to the walls, planks lead the eye across the room and loosen up a boxy living room.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak in alternating grain make a parquet look that suits a library or a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basketweave pieces pass over and under each other, often with a dark border, a pattern found in some of the older estates.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Price, timing and prep questions about hardwood installation in Milton are answered below, from Brush Hill to the Neponset.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is the cost of hardwood floor installation in Milton?
On a nail-down job our labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, with the nails and underlayment inside that figure. Supplying the wood ourselves brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put hardwood over the carpet in my Milton Hill colonial?
We remove the carpet first, along with the pad and tack strips, and repair any soft spots in the subfloor. Then the oak is nailed down. Taking out the old covering runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What works over a concrete slab in a lower level?
Engineered hardwood, floated on underlayment so no nails touch the slab. That method has labor of $2.00/Sq Ft.
Is vinyl plank or laminate on your menu too?
Both, with labor at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate. Vinyl plank is the better pick for mudrooms and basements near the Neponset.
How fast does the wood show up?
Our Natick warehouse sends it out the next day after the order. The crew start date is agreed with your estimator at booking.
How much are replacement stair treads?
New hardwood treads are $60 each, with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. Existing oak steps in good shape can be refinished at $50 per step.
How is the job paid?
Crew labor is settled the morning work begins, and material is settled as the boxes come off the truck. If you need furniture moved, it is a flat $250.
What warranty comes with it?
Our labor is covered for one year, and the boards carry the manufacturer warranty. The crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and employed by us.
