/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns across Old Saybrook, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Herringbone suits a Saybrook Point dining room, straight lay a Knollwood ranch.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, which cuts waste and makes a narrow cottage hall look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone ends meet at right angles in a zigzag, each piece trimmed by hand. It flatters a shoreline dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows are mitered at 45 degrees and join in a tidy V, a fit for a roomy beach house kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks turned on the diagonal draw the eye across the room, so a small Fenwick cottage kitchen feels wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain bring back the parquet look in a sunroom facing the Sound.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, edged with a dark border, make a handsome entry near Main Street.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, start dates and prep for new hardwood in Old Saybrook, from Fenwick to Knollwood.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Old Saybrook?
In Old Saybrook, nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment included. Adding the wood from us makes the package $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Will humid shoreline air hurt new oak?
It can if nobody plans for it. The crew meters the subfloor and the room first, and tells you if a vapor barrier or a longer wait makes sense.
Do you take out the old flooring?
We do, at about $1.00/Sq Ft, and the debris leaves with us. The estimator lists that line on your quote.
How fast can the boards reach Cornfield Point?
They leave our Milford warehouse the next day, and a crew start usually opens up within the week.
What goes over a damp slab in a summer cottage?
Floating engineered planks on foam, because no nail can enter concrete. Labor on that method is $2.00/Sq Ft, while nail-and-glue upstairs is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Are there savings on the wood?
Material through Brazil Floors is up to 30% off, and booking the estimate online takes $250 off. Both come off the final bill.
When do I pay for the work?
Labor is due when the crew arrives in Old Saybrook to start. Material is due as the boxes are delivered.
Will the crew move furniture?
Yes. A flat $250 covers the whole house, and every piece goes back at the end.

Along the shore from Cornfield Point to Saybrook Point, and out to Old Lyme, Westbrook, Essex, Clinton and Deep River, one crew lays oak at a single labor rate.
Old Lyme colonials with old board subfloors get a flat plywood base before any oak goes in, so floors stay quiet.
Westbrook beach houses get solid oak nailed down at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, nails and underlayment included.
Essex lower levels over concrete take floating engineered planks laid on foam for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Clinton summer homes pick prefinished boards, so the room is usable the day the crew leaves and guests can arrive.
Deep River colonials get new oak treads at $60 each, cut to meet the upstairs hall and stained to match.
