One Year Install Warranty
Twelve months of labor warranty come from us, and the boards carry the manufacturer's own coverage, so the work and the wood are both protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts in Needham, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Older colonials often choose herringbone, while rebuilt homes lean toward wide straight boards.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows follow the length of the room, the least wasteful pattern, and the lines make a narrow hallway feel longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turned square to each other in a stepped zigzag, cut and fit one at a time. A fitting touch for a formal dining room in a Needham colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, board ends meet in a crisp V. It flatters the open plans of rebuilt houses near Route 128.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks run corner to corner on a diagonal and widen a small kitchen without changing a wall.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks with the grain turned in alternating directions give a sunroom its parquet look.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow strips woven over and under, often with a darker border. At home in the older rooms around Needham Center.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on cost, start dates and prep for hardwood installation in Needham, from Needham Heights to the Charles River.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood flooring installation cost in Needham?
Our flat labor rate for nail-down is $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. With the wood from us, the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put new oak over the old floor in my colonial?
We usually take the old floor up, check the subfloor, secure or replace anything soft and then nail the new oak down. Tear-out runs about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What should go over a basement slab?
Engineered hardwood floated on foam with glued joints, so no nail touches the concrete. That method is $2.00/Sq Ft in labor.
Do you do vinyl plank and laminate as well?
Yes. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate. Vinyl is a good fit for a mudroom or a basement playroom.
How soon will the wood be delivered?
Next day. It leaves our Natick warehouse, a short drive from Needham, and the crew can usually start soon after.
What does a new stair tread cost?
Each hardwood tread is $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor. Solid stairs can instead be refinished at $50 per step.
When is payment due?
The crew is paid when work starts and the boxes when they arrive. Sanding work is paid half when the sander starts and half with the final coat.
What does the warranty include?
We warrant our labor for a year, and the flooring keeps its manufacturer warranty. The installers hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification.
