Walkthrough Before We Start
Springy subfloors turn up in older Newington houses, so our lead checks joists, thresholds and stairs in the rooms involved before any board is ordered.

Anyone who lays oak in Newington works for Brazil Floors, with a license, insurance and NWFA certification. We bring in no outside company.
Rooms are measured wall to wall, and cartons, trim and reducers are lined up by the door in laying order, so nobody hunts for parts at noon.
A full year of warranty covers our labor, and the boards carry the maker's warranty, so both the work and the wood stay protected.

Boards run with the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and they stretch a narrow hall.

Short boards set in a stepped zigzag and cut one at a time, a period look for a formal dining room.

Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a neat V, which flatters the open kitchens of remodeled ranches near the turnpike.

A diagonal run pulls the eye across a room and makes a narrow Junction kitchen feel wider.

Oak squares set with alternating grain, parquet style, a classic floor for a den near Mill Pond Park.

Short oak pieces woven over and under, usually inside a darker border, as in the front rooms of older Newington homes.



Newington nailed oak labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, glue assisted nailing is $2.50 plus adhesive and floated engineered oak is $2.00. Installed with our wood the price is $5.50 unfinished or $6.00 prefinished.
Frequently, once loose planks are screwed down and plywood bridges the gaps. A walk through the house settles what your base needs.
Only engineered oak floated over a pad, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor, and only after the slab reads dry. Solid oak belongs upstairs.
Tear out with haul away is roughly $1.00/Sq Ft. Squeaks and bouncy plywood get repaired before a new board is nailed.
Book your Newington estimate on our website and $250 comes off. Moving furniture is a flat $250.
Labor is paid the morning the crew shows up, and material is paid as the boxes are delivered. Sanding splits in halves, one at the start and one at the last coat.
Sealed oak in a couple of Newington rooms is typically a day or two. Raw boards sanded and finished in the house run closer to a week.
Brazil Floors employees only, no subcontractors, with a one year labor warranty and the maker's warranty covering the oak.
