Walkthrough Before We Start
Salt air and a winter nor'easter move wood more than people expect, so before we pick a plank we test the subfloor, check each doorway height and look over your stairs.

Licensed, Insured Installation
You will see a license, insurance and NWFA certification for everyone who walks in, and every one of them is on our payroll, not hired by the day.

Remeasure and Material Count
The crew measures every room, then stacks boxes, trim and reducers just inside the entry so the first day is spent laying and not hunting for parts.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind our labor for twelve months, and the boards carry the maker's own warranty, so both the workmanship and the wood have coverage.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns around Nahant, with borders and inlays quoted at the house. Shingle-style homes lean toward wide straight boards, and newer renovations ask for chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run along the long axis of the room, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow Little Nahant parlor.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces turned square to each other in a staggered zigzag, each cut by hand. It suits a dining room in an older house on Big Nahant.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board end is cut at 45 degrees so the rows close into a neat V, a good fit for a renovated open kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set on a diagonal pull the eye toward the far wall, so a compact Short Beach kitchen seems roomier.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with the grain alternating, parquet fashion, bring an old-world look to a sunroom with a harbor view.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak pieces interlaced in a basket pattern, usually edged with a contrasting band. It belongs in the formal rooms of the grander East Point houses.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Clear answers on cost, scheduling and prep for installing hardwood in Nahant, from Nahant Road out to the tip of the peninsula.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Nahant?
Nail-down labor is a flat $2.25/Sq Ft and includes the nails and underlayment. Adding the wood from us brings it to $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Will sea air and humidity hurt a new wood floor?
Wood always shifts a little with the seasons, so we leave an expansion gap at every wall and check moisture first. Keeping indoor humidity steady does the rest.
Can you lay wood in a house on Little Nahant with an old plank subfloor?
Yes. We screw down loose boards, add plywood where it is needed and nail the new oak into a firm base.
What goes over a concrete basement slab?
Engineered hardwood floated over foam with glued joints. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also install vinyl plank and laminate?
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank labor and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate labor. Vinyl is a sensible pick for a sandy back entry near the beach.
How soon after I order does the flooring arrive?
The next day. Trucks load at our Natick warehouse and cross the Nahant Road causeway to your door, so the crew can start soon after.
What does a new oak stair tread run?
Each new tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. Stairs that are still sound can be refinished at $50 per step.
When do I pay and what is covered after?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives and material when boxes are delivered. Our work has a one year labor warranty, and the flooring keeps its manufacturer warranty.

Swampscott, Lynn, Winthrop, Revere and Saugus homeowners book the same crew that works out on the Nahant peninsula, all at one published rate.
Swampscott homes near the shore get nailed oak at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, with the underlayment already counted.
Two-family houses in Lynn often hide softwood subfloor, so new oak goes over fresh plywood first.
Winthrop basements and slab rooms take floated engineered planks at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Revere families who want furniture back by evening pick prefinished boards, since there is no sanding or curing.
Saugus colonials swap tired carpeted steps for oak treads at $60 each, riser and stain included.
