/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts across Newton, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Older villages tend toward herringbone, while a gut-renovated kitchen often goes chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run parallel to the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and lengthens a tight Newtonville hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set square in a zigzag and cut one by one, a period detail for a Newton Corner dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Ends mitered at forty-five degrees join in a clean V down each row, a good match for open plans in renovated houses.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks run on the diagonal and pull the eye across the room, which opens up a small kitchen in Upper Falls.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turn their grain in alternating directions for a parquet look, a traditional choice for a sunroom on Chestnut Hill.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often inside a darker border, belong in the older homes along Heartbreak Hill.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Newton?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft. If we also supply the wood, the total is $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
My Victorian has carpet over the original boards. What happens?
We lift the carpet and padding, clear the tack strips, secure any loose or soft areas and lay the new hardwood on a solid surface.
What do you recommend over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood floated over padding, its joints glued, so the slab never takes a nail. That method is $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Can you do vinyl or laminate instead?
Yes. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, good options for a basement or a mudroom.
How soon does material show up?
The next day, delivered from the Natick warehouse.
Is the nail-and-glue method more expensive?
It is $2.50/Sq Ft plus the adhesive, and it gives a firmer feel underfoot with wide planks.
What is the payment schedule?
Labor on the day the crew arrives, material when the boxes are delivered. Sanding jobs are paid in two halves.
How is the work guaranteed?
With a one-year labor warranty from us and the manufacturer's coverage on the planks.
