Walkthrough Before We Start
Berkshire County winters move wood, so our lead installer tests the subfloor with a moisture meter, taps for hollow spots and checks each doorway before ordering a single carton.

You will never meet a subcontractor. Our crew works on Brazil Floors payroll, and each member is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
Before work starts we shift furniture for a flat $250, tape off the stair rail and bring boxes to the rooms where they are needed. Trim and reducers are laid out ahead of the nailer.
Our work carries a one year labor warranty, and the factory warranty on the planks sits on top of it, so the wood and the install are both protected.

Running boards along the longest wall wastes the least wood and makes a narrow hallway look longer.

Short boards stepped at right angles, each cut by hand, bring period character to an old dining room.

Boards cut at 45 degrees meet in a tidy V that suits an open kitchen and living area.

Planks set on the diagonal lead the eye across a room and make a compact Pittsfield bedroom feel bigger.

Squares of oak with alternating grain make a parquet floor with a traditional air, handsome in a sunroom.

Short strips of oak woven in an over-and-under weave, usually trimmed by a dark border, echo the older houses in Berkshire County.



Labor for nail-down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft and it includes nails and underlayment. Buying the boards through us brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Often, yes. We measure the slope at the estimate, then level or add plywood so the oak lies flat from wall to wall.
Floating engineered hardwood is the answer. It is glued at the seams over underlayment, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. Laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft and vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft, with vinyl being the better choice for a basement that gets wet.
Boxes ship from our Natick warehouse and arrive the next day. The start date is agreed with you at the estimate.
A new tread is $60 and includes the riser, nosing, stain and labor. Existing solid treads can be refinished at $50 a step.
The crew is paid when they arrive and begin, and the material is paid when it is delivered. When the job includes sanding, half is due as the sanders start and the other half after the last coat.
Yes, with a one year labor warranty from us and the maker's warranty on the wood. The installers hold licenses, carry insurance and are certified by the NWFA.
