One Year Install Warranty
Brazil Floors backs the labor for one year, and the mill covers the boards. Labor is paid when the crew arrives, material when the boxes reach you.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet hardwood in New Britain, with borders and inlays priced at the estimate. A straight lay suits most rentals, and a chevron foyer suits an owner who wants it noticed.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the long wall, which wastes the least wood and makes a narrow hall look longer than it is.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag and every one is cut by hand, a good match for a dining room that gets noticed.
Chevron Hardwood
Each row is mitered at 45 degrees and meets its neighbor in a sharp V, which suits a family room with some size to it.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards set at 45 degrees to the walls pull the eye across a narrow room and make a small kitchen feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with alternating grain bring back the parquet look that many older apartments here once had.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually edged in a dark border, look handsome stepping out of a front foyer.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in New Britain
Our crew loads out of the warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford and stays with the job until the last board is swept up. Here they rolled underlayment, nailed oak tight and trimmed every doorway, the routine we run from downtown triple-deckers to the ranches along Route 9.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in New Britain
Once the oak is down we can also set vinyl plank or laminate, sand and stain older floors, patch bad boards and build solid stair treads in the same house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers about price, start dates and subfloor prep for new hardwood in New Britain, from the Hardware City core to the Berlin line.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in New Britain?
Nail-down labor comes to $2.25/Sq Ft, and we fold the nails and underlayment into that figure. If we supply the wood, the package is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
My triple-decker has an old subfloor. Can new oak go over it?
Yes, once the crew has checked it for soft spots and moisture. Weak boards are fastened or replaced first and that work appears on the quote.
Do you take out the old flooring?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the crew hauls it away with the packaging. It is listed on the estimate so nothing is added later.
How fast can the wood arrive?
Boards leave our Milford warehouse the day after you order. The install date follows the crew calendar and is often inside a week.
Nail-down or floating, which one fits my house?
Nail-down is fastened to the subfloor and feels solid underfoot, while floating engineered planks rest on foam and suit slabs. Floating labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Is there any discount on the material?
Wood bought from us carries up to 30% off, and an estimate booked on our website earns $250 off. Both are deducted on the last invoice.
When do I pay?
Labor is paid the day the crew arrives and material when the boxes are delivered. Before that day you owe nothing.
Does the crew move my furniture?
Yes, for a flat $250 for the whole home. Every piece goes back where it was when the floor is finished.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
Berlin, Newington, Farmington, Plainville and Southington are a short drive from our New Britain jobs, and each quote carries the same labor rate.
Kensington and Worthington Ridge houses in Berlin often need a flat plywood base first, then oak at $2.25/Sq Ft for labor.
Newington ranches built on slabs take a floating engineered floor at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, with no nails into the concrete.
Farmington families in the Unionville colonials choose prefinished boards, so rooms are back in use as soon as the crew leaves.
Plainville capes get nail-down oak at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, with the underlayment folded into that same price.
Southington landings get new oak treads at $60 each, cut so the top step lines up with the hall floor.
