Walkthrough Before We Start
A commuter dropping a bag by the door, a bicycle wheeled through the hall and a golden retriever on the stairs. A hard finished oak floor takes the whole week in stride.

/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A Tudor with plaster walls, a pre-war apartment near the village and a colonial with a new kitchen addition each pose a different challenge. Here is how we pick the method.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Oak nailed over a flattened deck keeps a Montrose Park Tudor quiet even in rooms with old plaster ceilings below.
Herringbone Hardwood
Floating planks over concrete suit pre-war apartments close to the village, with a pad that muffles steps for neighbors.
Chevron Hardwood
Narrow front halls and steep porch steps in Seton Village colonials never slow a crew that carries each bundle inside.
Diagonal Hardwood
Nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps wide boards steady over plywood in a kitchen addition.
Checkerboard Parquet
A smoked brown oak sets off the built-in bookcases and fireplace in a Montrose Park living room.
Basket Weave Parquet
Seton Hall students passing through a rental hallway mean a hard finish matters, and we apply it with that in mind.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in South Orange?
Our South Orange labor rates are $2.25/Sq Ft for nail down, $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail and glue, and $2.00/Sq Ft for floating engineered planks. With our boards, unfinished runs $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished runs $6.00/Sq Ft.
My Tudor has an old plank subfloor. Can new oak still go on top?
Yes, once loose planks are refastened and high or low zones are corrected. Houses of that age move, so we plan for it during the first visit.
Can hardwood go into a pre-war condo near the village?
Floating engineered planks over a proper pad are the common solution at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Check the building sound rules, tell us what they are, and we work inside them.
Do you remove carpet and old flooring?
We do, for around $1.00/Sq Ft, and everything leaves in our truck. Staples, tack strips and squeaks are dealt with before oak goes down.
Will reserving the estimate on your website bring the price down?
It does: $250 is deducted once you reserve the estimate on the site. Our flat $250 furniture moving service is optional.
How many days will it take?
A pair of prefinished rooms generally takes one or two days. Raw oak sanded and coated on site is closer to a week.
Where is the wood stored?
It ships from our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and next-day delivery from Long Branch brings it to South Orange.
Who is working in my home, and what is guaranteed?
Brazil Floors staff who are licensed, insured and NWFA certified, with no outside subcontractors. Labor is warranted for one year and the boards carry the manufacturer warranty.
