Walkthrough Before We Start
Postwar capes and ranches often hide soft plywood and dips. Before ordering wood, our lead installer walks the house, presses on the subfloor, notes door heights and plans which way the boards should run.

Hardwood Floor Installation Cost
New hardwood in Saugus is billed by the square foot, and nail down labor begins at $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside the figure. Whether the house sits near the Saugus River or off Main Street, the number is the same and no extras appear later.
Nail Down Installation
Plain oak boards are nailed to the plywood, then sanded and sealed inside the house. The classic route for the colonials in the older streets off Main Street.

Remeasure and Material Count
When the crew arrives it measures again, sets cartons in the right rooms and puts the transitions by each doorway, so installation flows without searching for parts.

One Year Install Warranty
Our work has a one year warranty on labor, and the wood has whatever warranty the manufacturer gives, so you are covered on both fronts.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
The pattern changes how a room feels. We install straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet across Saugus, and borders or inlays are priced once we see the room. Straight boards suit a long ranch hallway, while herringbone adds polish to a colonial dining room.
Straight Lay Hardwood
The boards follow the longest wall, so there is little waste and a small living room looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a zigzag bring a handmade, traditional air to a colonial dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board end is cut on an angle so the rows close into crisp arrows, an attractive look in an opened up kitchen.
Diagonal Hardwood
A 45 degree diagonal pulls the eye across the room, making a narrow bedroom in a Saugus cape seem wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with the grain alternating in parquet fashion suit a den or an enclosed porch.
Basket Weave Parquet
Basket weave pairs short strips that turn at each square, framed by a dark border, a detail that fits a study.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Saugus
The installers leave our store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St in Natick and remain on the Saugus site until the final cleanup. Here they unrolled underlayment, nailed oak strip after strip and left a thin gap along the walls so the wood can expand in August, the same steps we follow near Appleton's Pulpit and the blocks along the Newburyport Turnpike.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
Flooring Services in Saugus
Once oak covers the main floor, the same people can float laminate in a spare room, lay vinyl plank over a damp basement, sand and color tired boards, mend damage and rebuild the staircase.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Before booking, most Saugus homeowners want the price, the timing and the room prep sorted. Honest answers follow.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will hardwood installation run me in Saugus?
Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment covered. Wood from us plus installation comes to $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
My cape has carpet over plywood. Can hardwood go there?
Yes. The crew removes the carpet and pad, checks the plywood for soft areas, fixes them and then nails the new oak down.
What do you put over a basement slab?
Engineered hardwood that floats on underlayment, with glue in the joints, so the concrete is never nailed. The labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
What does tearing out the old floor cost?
Roughly $1.00/Sq Ft. We confirm it when we see the floor during the free estimate.
How fast does the material show up?
Delivery is the next day from our Natick warehouse, only a short run down Route 128 from there.
Is moving furniture part of the job?
It is available for a flat $250, and pieces are put back when the floor is finished.
When do I hand over payment?
Labor is paid as the crew arrives, material as the boxes are delivered. Sanding is split half at the start and half at the final coat.
Who stands behind the finished floor?
Brazil Floors covers labor for one year, and the manufacturer covers the wood. The people on your job are staff of ours with a license, insurance and NWFA certification.

Hardwood Floors in Nearby Towns
A house in Melrose, Lynn, Revere, Malden or Wakefield is billed the same hardwood labor rate per Sq Ft as one on the Saugus side of Route 1.
Melrose colonials get solid oak nailed over plywood at $2.25/Sq Ft, with nails and underlayment inside that labor rate.
Lynn basements on concrete take floating engineered planks for $2.00/Sq Ft, so nothing gets fastened into the slab.
Revere families wanting the furniture back quickly choose prefinished oak, installed with the material for $6.00/Sq Ft.
In Malden, unfinished oak and installation come to $5.50/Sq Ft, followed by sanding and sealing in the home.
Wide planks in Wakefield homes go down nailed and glued at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive, which keeps long boards flat.
