/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns across Preston, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Herringbone dresses a farmhouse dining room, while straight lay keeps a Route 2A ranch simple.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run parallel to the longest wall, so less wood is wasted and a narrow hall looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Herringbone ends meet at right angles in a zigzag, every piece trimmed by hand. A strong match for an old Preston dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows are mitered at 45 degrees and join in a clean V, which suits a roomy country kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks laid on the diagonal pull the eye across the room, so a small cottage kitchen feels wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain bring the parquet look back to a sunroom off Hall's Mill Road.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, ringed by 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 Preston, from Poquetanuck to Hallville.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood installation cost in Preston?
Labor for nail-down oak is $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside the price. When we also supply the wood, the project is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak go over the old boards in a Preston farmhouse?
Often yes, once the crew checks for sag, soft spots and moisture. Anything weak is fastened or replaced first, and the quote shows that line.
Do you take out my existing floor?
We do, for about $1.00/Sq Ft, and we haul the debris off. The estimator puts the figure in writing.
How soon can the boards get to Hallville?
They leave our Milford warehouse the next day, and the crew calendar normally opens a start within a week.
What is best over a concrete basement floor?
Floating engineered planks on foam, since no nail can go into concrete. That is $2.00/Sq Ft of labor; nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Are there savings on the wood?
Material from Brazil Floors is up to 30% off, and an online booking takes $250 off the final Preston bill. Both show on the final bill.
When are payments due?
Labor is due when the crew arrives to start in Preston. Material is due when the boxes are delivered.
Will you move the furniture?
Yes. A flat $250 covers the whole house, and every piece goes back when we finish.

Poquetanuck to Hallville, then on to Norwich, Ledyard, Griswold, Lisbon and North Stonington: one payroll crew, one posted labor rate per Sq Ft for every oak floor.
Norwich triple-deckers and brick mill houses often need a level plywood base first, which we set before laying oak.
Ledyard capes get solid oak nailed down at $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, nails and underlayment included.
Griswold lower levels over concrete take floating engineered planks on foam for $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
Lisbon farmhouses pick prefinished boards, so the room is usable the day the crew packs up and leaves.
North Stonington colonials get new oak treads at $60 each, cut to meet the upstairs hall and stained to match.
