One Year Install Warranty
The labor is warranted for a full year, and the lumber maker backs the boards, so you are protected on the install and on the oak itself.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in North Branford, with borders priced on site. Older Northford houses often pick herringbone, while newer Doral Farms builds lean toward chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least cutting waste, and they lengthen a narrow entry hall.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards form a right angle zigzag, each one cut to fit on the spot. A period pick for the dining room of an older Northford house.
Chevron Hardwood
Planks mitered at 45 degrees meet in a clean V, which suits the open plans of newer houses around Doral Farms.
Diagonal Hardwood
Laying planks on a diagonal sweeps the eye across the room, so a small Ashley Park kitchen looks wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned in alternating directions, parquet style, give a sunroom facing the mountain a traditional floor.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak strips woven over and under with a dark border suit the oldest farmhouses in Northford.

Clear numbers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood floor installation in North Branford, from Northford to Totoket Mountain.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in North Branford?
North Branford nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, with the nails and underlayment counted inside. Supply the oak through us and the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak go over the old plank floors in a Northford farmhouse?
Yes, once loose boards are screwed down and a plywood layer is added for a flat bed. That prep shows up as its own line on the estimate.
Which floor suits a concrete slab in a walkout level?
A floated engineered floor at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor is the usual choice. If the slab tests damp, vinyl plank is the safer pick and we say so up front.
How far is the drive for your crew?
Short, since our Milford warehouse sits a few exits down the road. Material leaves there the day after you order.
How soon will the boxes arrive?
The following day, and the planks then rest in your house a few days before nailing. The material bill is due as the delivery is unloaded.
Can you rebuild the stairs in the same visit?
Yes, each hardwood tread is $60, with its riser, nosing, stain and labor included. The color is matched to the new floor.
What about moving furniture and removing the old flooring?
Clearing furniture is a flat $250, and tearing out old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft. Both are written into your quote.
When do I pay?
The labor payment is due the morning the crew starts. Sanding jobs split half at the start and half at the final coat.
