Walkthrough Before We Start
Our lead installer walks the house before the quote, checking the plywood for dips, reading moisture at the slab or crawlspace and noting how far each doorway threshold must drop.

The people kneeling on your subfloor draw a Brazil Floors paycheck. Each one is NWFA certified, licensed in Massachusetts and insured, and no part of the job goes to a subcontractor.
Install day opens with a recount of cartons against the drawing, then reducers and T molds are cut for each transition so the nailer never stops to wait for trim.
We stand behind the installation for twelve months, and the mill's guarantee rides on the oak itself, so neither the work nor the wood goes uncovered.

Rows follow the longest wall, cutting waste and making a narrow West Natick ranch living room feel longer than its tape measure says.

Short lengths meet at right angles in a zigzag, cut one at a time and fitted by hand. A dining room in a Natick Center Victorian wears it well.

Ends cut at 45 degrees so paired rows meet in a sharp point, a pattern that suits the open kitchens in remodeled homes off Route 9.

Boards run corner to corner at 45 degrees, which pulls the eye across a compact South Natick cottage and disguises walls that drifted out of square.

Oak squares alternate grain direction in a tight grid, a traditional look for a study or sunroom in one of the older homes near the Charles River.

Pairs of short strips flip direction square by square, usually framed by a contrasting border. A crafted finish for a front hall in Natick Center.



Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and that figure already includes nails and underlayment. If the wood comes from our Natick Center store, unfinished oak installed is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft, with up to 30% off the material.
Yes. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft and covers carpet, pad, tack strips and hauling it all away. If you would rather we move the furniture, that is a flat $250 both ways.
Solid hardwood sits in the rooms for a few days while we meter both the boards and the plywood. Natick summers are humid and winters are dry, so that settling time is what keeps gaps and cupping from showing up later.
Engineered hardwood floated on underlayment with glued joints, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Nothing gets drilled into the concrete, and the floor handles the moisture swings a basement near Lake Cochituate goes through.
Next day, and for Natick addresses often sooner, since the warehouse is at 9 Cochituate St. Many customers pick their boards in the store, watch them get loaded and have the cartons inside the house the following morning.
We do. Herringbone and chevron go down one piece at a time, so they take longer than straight lay and are priced after we measure the room. Borders and inlays are quoted the same way.
Material is due the day the boxes land and labor the morning the installers begin. Your date is held without a deposit, and an estimate booked online trims $250 from the job.
Call 508-306-4190 and the same crew comes back under our one-year labor warranty. The wood itself carries the manufacturer warranty, and every person on that crew holds a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
