Walkthrough Before We Start
Centuries-old frames can sag, and old subfloors can hold moisture. So the lead inspects joists, thresholds and stair landings before anything is fastened.

You will never find a subcontractor on our jobs. The people laying your oak work for Brazil Floors and carry licenses, insurance and NWFA certificates.
Day one begins with a tape measure in every room. Cartons, trim and reducers then wait by the door, ready when the crew needs them.
We stand behind our labor for a year, and the mill backs the boards separately. A callback goes to one number, ours.

Running boards along the longest wall uses the least material and makes a narrow room feel longer.

Small pieces laid at right angles in a zigzag, each trimmed to fit. Fitting for a formal dining room in an old Rehoboth home.

Rows cut at 45 degrees meet in a neat V. They look crisp in a newly opened kitchen.

Planks set at an angle to the walls lead the eye across the room, which opens up a small kitchen.

Oak squares with alternating grain give a traditional parquet look to a sunroom overlooking the yard.

Short boards woven over and under, usually edged with a border, bring a period feel to an entry hall.



Labor for nail-down is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment are part of that. Buying the wood through us makes it $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Not at all. The crew lifts carpet, padding and tack strips, repairs any weak subfloor and nails new oak. Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Engineered hardwood. It floats on padding with glued seams, so nothing penetrates the concrete, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. For labor, vinyl plank is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, both priced straight per foot. Vinyl is smart for mudrooms and basements.
The day after you order. It comes by truck out of the Natick warehouse, and the crew follows.
Yes. A new oak tread is $60, riser and stain included, and refinishing a solid existing step is $50.
The crew is paid when it shows up, and the boxes are paid for when the truck unloads. For sanding, you pay half when we start and half at the final coat.
One year on labor from Brazil Floors, and the manufacturer warranty on the flooring. The licensed, insured crew carries NWFA certification.
