Walkthrough Before We Start
Hill-town farmhouses settle over the decades, so before a single nail goes in our lead checks the subfloor for slope and soft spots, then walks every threshold and stair.

Everyone who works in your Savoy house is on the Brazil Floors payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. No subcontractors ever show up at the door.
At the free estimate we tape out every room and set wood samples on your kitchen table. Trim pieces and reducers are ordered with the boards, so nothing stalls the install.
You get one year of labor warranty from Brazil Floors, plus the manufacturer warranty on the boards themselves.

Boards run along the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste. It stretches a narrow farmhouse parlor.

Short boards cut and set at right angles in a zigzag. A period touch for a dining room in an older Savoy house.

Rows mitered at 45 degrees meet in a clean V. It suits open kitchens that run into the living area.

Planks angled across the room pull the eye toward the windows, which helps a small cabin feel roomier.

Square oak blocks laid with the grain turned in alternate directions, true parquet. A traditional look for an entry hall or sunroom.

Thin oak strips interlaced like a basket, usually framed by a darker border. At home in the oldest houses off Route 8A.



Nailed-down installation costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, and the nails and underlayment ride along in that figure. Add the boards from us and the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Often, yes. We check the slope and soft spots at the free estimate, fasten or patch the subfloor, and put that prep in the written quote before the install is scheduled.
A floating engineered hardwood. It lays on underlayment, so nothing is nailed into the slab, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Both. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and either one makes a sensible mudroom floor in a house where boots come in all winter.
Delivery comes the next day from our Natick warehouse, and the crew plans the install around it.
One new oak tread costs $60, which already holds the riser, nosing, stain and the crew's time. Sound existing stairs can be sanded and refinished at $50 per step.
Labor is paid when the crew arrives to begin work, and material when the boxes are delivered. On sanding jobs, half is due at the start and half at the final coat.
One year on our labor, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the flooring. The installers who come to your Savoy door are employees of Brazil Floors, licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
