/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The layout pattern shapes how a room feels. Around Northborough, we install straight runs, herringbone, chevron, parquet and diagonal floors.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Straight lengthwise planks: the classic choice, quick to install with very little waste.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a zigzag, a great fit for a cozy home library.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered ends meeting at a point, forming arrows down a long hallway.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks set at 45 degrees pull your gaze corner to corner and hide walls that aren't square, common in older homes here.
Checkerboard Parquet
Little wood squares alternating direction, a tailored pattern for a formal dining room near Church Street.
Basket Weave Parquet
Pairs of narrow strips that alternate direction, like the weave of a basket, a charming detail for a sunroom or reading corner.

Northborough's Hardwood Installation Crew
Antique homes along Main Street, capes near Bartlett Pond and newer colonials off Route 135 have all seen our installers at work. Felt rolls out over the plywood, solid oak goes down row after row toward the opposite wall, and it stays snug through dry furnace months and sticky Worcester County summers.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Other Floor Services in Northborough
Hardwood is our specialty, but this Northborough crew also puts in vinyl plank or laminate, sands and recolors older oak, fixes damaged strips and builds new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
These are the questions Northborough homeowners raise most at the walkthrough, about pricing, timing and furniture.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateNorthborough hardwood floors: what do they cost?
Labor runs $2.25/Sq Ft when solid oak goes down with nails into a plywood subfloor, and felt underlayment comes with it. Using oak from our warehouse, unfinished costs $5.50/Sq Ft installed. Prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
Can your crew tear out the old carpet or vinyl first?
Yes. Tearing out an existing floor typically runs near $1.00/Sq Ft in Northborough, and we confirm once we've checked under a corner. The debris leaves with us.
Do you move furniture before the install?
Yes. One flat $250 charge covers our crew clearing each room before work starts and putting everything back afterward. A piano or gun safe might need specialty movers.
Should we pay extra for nail and glue?
For wide planks, often yes. Labor is $2.50/Sq Ft, with adhesive billed separately, but the glue keeps wide planks flat through humid Assabet River valley summers.
How fast can the wood be delivered?
Orders usually ship from Coventry the next day. After that, solid wood acclimates in your home before we nail it down, and your estimate will spell out how long.
When is a hardwood installation paid?
Material is paid on delivery to your house, and labor when our installers get started. Nobody in Northborough sends us a deposit weeks ahead of time.
Will you beat another installer's price?
Yes. Our lowest price guarantee lets us come in under another company's written quote when the wood and the job match, and contractor pricing on material makes that possible.
Who will be working inside my home?
Brazil Floors employees, all of them NWFA certified, and our company is licensed and insured. We don't hire subcontractors, so the crew at your door is the crew we trained.
