One Year Install Warranty
We warranty our labor for one year, and the boards come with the manufacturer's own warranty, so the work and the wood both have cover.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The way boards run changes the feel of a room. Straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet are all laid here, and borders or inlays are priced at the house.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run alongside the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and lengthens a narrow porch room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a zigzag give a cottage dining room an old fashioned woven look.
Chevron Hardwood
Each end is cut at an angle, so rows meet in a sharp point that leads the eye down a hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks laid on the diagonal draw the eye toward the corner, so a small Highlands den feels wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned grain against grain recall a traditional parquet, good for a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, with a dark border, suit a formal front room.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Get clear answers on price, scheduling and floor prep for hardwood installation in Oak Bluffs, from The Oval to East Chop.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does a hardwood floor cost in Oak Bluffs?
Labor to nail down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft, with the nails and underlayment inside that rate. Wood supplied by us brings the package to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you work on the island, or do you only do mainland jobs?
We work on the island. The ferry crossing for our installers and your boxes is something Brazil Floors coordinates, and the work calendar is settled with you at booking.
What floor goes in a summer cottage on a slab?
Engineered hardwood floated over foam, so no nail touches the concrete. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you install vinyl plank and laminate here too?
Yes. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate, and vinyl suits damp entries near the water.
Will salt air hurt a new wood floor?
Wood moves with humidity, so we leave an expansion gap along the walls and recommend nail and glue for wide planks.
How much is a new oak stair tread?
A tread is $60, with riser, nosing and stain counted. Refinishing a sound step is $50.
When do I pay?
Labor is due as the crew starts and material when boxes are delivered. Any sanding is paid in two halves: 50% on day one and 50% at the last coat.
Is the installation warrantied?
Yes. Our labor carries one year of warranty, the flooring has its manufacturer's coverage, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
