Walkthrough Before We Start

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet layouts across Orleans, and borders or inlays are priced at the visit. Herringbone suits a traditional living room, while chevron reads well in a bright kitchen.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks run alongside the longest wall, the layout with the least waste. A compact cottage reads longer and roomier that way.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces meet at right angles in a staggered pattern, each hand cut. A natural for a formal dining room in a historic house.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board end is mitered so rows form a crisp V. It flatters open layouts in newer builds near Pleasant Bay.
Diagonal Hardwood
Laid on the diagonal, planks lead the eye across the room and make a small sunroom feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares alternate grain direction for a parquet pattern, a classic look for a sitting room or a screened porch.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak strips are woven over and under and usually framed by a darker border. It belongs in an old captain's-style house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Find straight answers about cost, scheduling and preparation for a hardwood floor in Orleans, from Nauset Beach to Route 28.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is a hardwood installation in Orleans?
Labor for nailing oak down is $2.25/Sq Ft, and that figure already contains the nails and underlayment. If we supply the oak, the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put new hardwood in an older Cape with carpet?
Yes. Carpet, pad and tack strips come up first, weak subfloor spots get fastened, and then the boards go down over solid plywood. Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
What suits a room on a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated on foam with glued tongue-and-groove joints so nothing is driven into the concrete. Labor for that is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you also put in vinyl plank or laminate?
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft and $1.99/Sq Ft of labor. Vinyl plank is a sensible choice for a damp mudroom or a beach-house bathroom.
How fast would my boxes show up?
The day after you order. Product is stored in our Natick warehouse, so the crew is scheduled around that arrival.
What do new stair treads run?
Each hardwood tread is $60, riser, nosing and stain included. Worn existing stairs can be sanded and refinished for $50 a step.
When do I hand over payment?
Labor is paid on the day the crew begins, material when the boxes arrive, and a sanding job in halves, 50% at the start and 50% with the final coat.
What protection do I have after the job?
One year of warranty on our labor and the manufacturer warranty on the wood. The staff are licensed, insured and certified by the NWFA.
