Walkthrough Before We Start
Before any plank comes out of a box, our lead installer taps the subfloor for soft spots and checks every threshold, since many Whaling City houses have settled over a century or more.

Install day opens with a fresh tape measure pass. Cartons get stacked room by room, trim pieces are laid out at the doors, and then the first row is nailed.

One Year Install Warranty
You get a one year labor warranty from us and the mill's own materials warranty on the wood, so the work and the boards are both backed.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet all come off our saws in New Bedford, and borders or inlays are priced on site. Older Whaling City homes often take herringbone, while newer ranches usually stay with straight rows.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Rows run along the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and makes a narrow triple-decker flat look deeper.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces turn at right angles and are fitted one by one, a look that suits a formal dining room in an older house.
Chevron Hardwood
Every end is cut at 45 degrees, so the rows meet in sharp arrows that carry the eye down a long hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid on the diagonal stretch a small room, handy in a compact kitchen on the South Coast.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with the grain turned in alternating directions give a sunroom a classic parquet look.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often framed by a darker border, a good match for a front room in a pre-war house.
/ OUR SERVICES
New Bedford Hardwood Floor Installers
Our crew works out of 9 Cochituate St in Natick and stays on your job until the last threshold is set. Here they rolled out underlayment, pulled the rows tight against each wall and left room for seasonal movement, the same routine we follow from the blocks of the Old Dartmouth area to the capes near Buzzards Bay.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in New Bedford
After the oak goes in, our crew can also lay vinyl plank downstairs, float laminate in a spare room, refinish and stain old boards, patch damage or build new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers about cost, delivery and prep for hardwood floor installation in New Bedford, from the North End to the South End.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in New Bedford?
Our nail down rate for a New Bedford floor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and it already counts the nails and the underlayment. If you buy the wood through us, unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
My house has old carpet over a board floor. Can you handle that?
Yes. We pull the carpet, padding and staples, fasten or replace weak subfloor and nail the new oak over a sound base. Taking out the old flooring adds roughly $1.00/Sq Ft.
What goes over a concrete basement slab?
Floating engineered hardwood at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, because it needs no nails into concrete. It is the usual answer for a finished lower level.
Do you also do vinyl plank and laminate?
We do both, plus refinishing, staining, repairs and stairs. One crew can handle several rooms in a single visit.
How quickly can I get the material?
Boxes ship the next day from our Natick warehouse. Samples come to your house at the free estimate so you can see them on your own floor.
What do oak stair treads cost?
One new oak step costs $60 and bundles the tread, riser, nosing, stain and the install. Laminate on stairs is $50 per step.
When do I pay?
Labor is due when the crew arrives to start. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and sanding jobs split 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
Is the work guaranteed?
Labor carries a one year warranty from Brazil Floors. The wood itself keeps the manufacturer's warranty.
