Walkthrough Before We Start
Before a carton is opened, our lead installer checks the subfloor for give and measures how each doorway sits, which counts in hill farmhouses that have moved with the frost over the decades.

One Year Install Warranty
Our installation labor is warrantied for one year, and the mill separately warrants the wood, so both workmanship and boards have backing.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet patterns in New Salem. If you want a border or an inlay, we price it once we have seen the room.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run with the long wall for the least waste, an approach that lengthens a small room visually.
Herringbone Hardwood
Pieces are turned a quarter turn and fitted one at a time, bringing a woven feel to an old dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each end is cut at an angle so rows join in arrows that pull the eye along the hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal boards widen a tight room and give a little kitchen more presence.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak turned grain against grain bring a classic parquet look to a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Slim strips are woven over and under, usually with a darker border, a fit for a period front room.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in New Salem
Our crew starts at the Natick store and warehouse, 9 Cochituate St, and stays with your home until the last piece of trim is placed. In this one they laid underlayment, drove the nails tight and held a small gap at each wall, as in houses from Mount Pleasant down to the Swift River.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in New Salem
When the oak is finished, the same people can put plank vinyl in a mudroom, float laminate in a loft, sand and stain older boards, patch damage or rebuild a stair.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on price, material arrival and prep for a New Salem hardwood job, from Cooleyville to Prescott Hill.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood installation in New Salem?
Nail down labor comes to $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside the rate. Add material from us and the installed price is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you replace carpet in an old hill farmhouse?
Yes. We remove carpet, pad and tack strips, secure or replace weak subfloor and nail the new oak to a sound base. Pulling old flooring adds roughly $1.00/Sq Ft.
Which floor works on a concrete slab?
A floating engineered hardwood, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. It rests on a pad, so nothing is fastened to the slab.
Do you lay vinyl plank and laminate as well?
We do, along with refinishing, staining, repairs and stairs, often several rooms in one visit.
When does the material arrive?
It comes the next day from the Natick warehouse. At the free estimate we bring samples to your door.
What is the price of new oak stair treads?
Each is $60 and includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Laminate stairs are $50 per step.
How do payments work?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives, material when the boxes are delivered, and sanding in two halves at the start and the final coat.
Is the installation warrantied?
Labor carries a one year warranty from Brazil Floors, and the wood has the manufacturer's warranty.
