Walkthrough Before We Start
Older Plympton houses settle over the decades, so our lead tests the subfloor, doorway thresholds and stair landings before laying a single plank.

Nobody on your floor is a subcontractor. Brazil Floors employs the crew directly, and each person is licensed, insured and certified by the NWFA.
Measuring comes first. Then boxes, trim and transitions are staged in one spot, which saves the crew from hunting for pieces mid-job.
We guarantee our labor for twelve months, and the mill guarantees the wood. If something shifts, you know exactly who to call.

Boards follow the long wall, using the least wood and making a narrow room look longer.

Short boards turn at right angles in a zigzag, each cut by hand. It suits a formal room in an old Plympton farmhouse.

Mitered 45 degree cuts bring the rows together in a clean arrow shape that reads well in open kitchens.

Laying planks on the diagonal draws the eye past the walls, which helps a small kitchen feel bigger.

Oak blocks turned in alternating directions create a parquet floor that suits a sunroom facing the woods.

A woven pattern of short oak strips, often with a darker border, gives a front hall some old world charm.



Our nail-down rate is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, with nails and underlayment inside it. With the wood from us, you are looking at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. We pull up the carpet, pad and tack strips first, fix any soft spots in the plywood and then nail the hardwood down. The removal charge is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Engineered hardwood is the answer. It floats on padding with glued edges, so there is no nailing into concrete, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do both. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate labor is $1.99/Sq Ft, and vinyl is the pick for damp basements.
The wood ships from our Natick warehouse and arrives the day after you order. Once the boxes are inside, your crew can get moving.
Yes. A new oak tread costs $60 with riser, nosing and stain, while refinishing sound treads costs $50 per step.
The crew is paid for labor on day one, and the material bill is settled as boxes come in. If sanding is part of the job, it is split in half at the start and half at the last coat.
You have a one-year labor warranty from Brazil Floors and the maker warranty on the wood. Our installers are licensed and insured.
