Walkthrough Before We Start
Commuters tramp in from the Raritan train station, a toddler drags a wagon down the hall and spring rain blows through the back door. A hard finish on oak holds up to that parade.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A turn-of-the-century twin, a postwar cape and a renovated duplex over a storefront each call for a different method. This is how we choose the wood for each building.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak laid over a leveled subfloor settles the tilt that builds up in century-old Raritan floors.
Herringbone Hardwood
Floating planks bridge a patched slab in a ground-floor flat and cut footfall noise for the neighbors.
Chevron Hardwood
Tall front steps and slim hallways are routine, because we hand carry each box inside.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail-and-glue work at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps boards tight over plywood in a Raritan cape.
Checkerboard Parquet
Pale prefinished oak opens up a dim parlor in an older twin.
Basket Weave Parquet
A mat-side border of tougher finish at the front door fights grit tracked in from the sidewalk.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat is a fair price for hardwood installation in Raritan?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, and floating engineered wood is $2.00/Sq Ft. If we furnish the wood, unfinished is $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft, installed.
My twin near Somerset Street has floors that slope. Can oak still go in?
It can, after we shim, level and re-fasten the weak sections. Houses of that age settle unevenly, so we plan for the slope when we measure.
Will hardwood work in a ground-floor apartment?
Floated engineered planks over a quiet pad are the common answer, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Tell us what the building requires and we build around it.
Do you haul away what is already there?
Yes, the tear-out figure is near $1.00/Sq Ft and the old material is loaded onto our truck. Rotten sections of subfloor are repaired before the new wood arrives.
Does an online booking save me money?
Reserving the estimate online takes $250 off. Furniture handling is one flat $250 if you want it done for you.
How long do I live with the work?
A couple of factory finished rooms is a two-day matter. Raw wood sanded and coated on site stretches nearer to a week.
Where does my order come from?
The boxes leave our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and arrive through next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who lays the floor and what stands behind it?
Brazil Floors employees who are licensed and insured, never subcontractors. A one-year labor warranty applies, and the boards keep the manufacturer's warranty.
