Walkthrough Before We Start
Mill era houses settle in odd ways, so the lead installer measures the rise of the subfloor, listens for movement and notes how each door will swing over the new boards.

No temp labor ever shows up at your door: these are Brazil Floors employees with NWFA certification, a license and insurance behind them.
On the morning of the install the crew counts cartons, sets out reducers at every opening and snaps a starting line before any nail is fired.
You get a year of coverage on our labor and the mill's written warranty on the wood, which means both the work and the material are protected.

Rows follow the length of the room, the layout with the least waste and the calmest look.

Short boards stepped into a zigzag give a dining room a hand fitted feel, in tune with an older Notre Dame neighborhood home.

Ends cut at an angle meet in sharp arrows and draw the eye down a long apartment hall.

Turned 45 degrees, the boards make a slim bedroom look broader and forgive a wall that is out of square.

Squares of oak, each turned against its neighbor, build a neat grid beneath a dining table.

Narrow strips that flip direction in each square make a crafted detail for a study or small den.



Nailing the floor down costs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, nails and underlayment included. Buying the wood from us brings the total to $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft for prefinished.
Usually the old covering comes up first so the new wood bears on solid plywood. Tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft and we confirm it during the estimate.
A floating engineered floor, at $2.00/Sq Ft for labor. Because the planks are not fastened to the concrete, nothing is drilled.
Material purchased through Brazil Floors can be up to 30% off. Book the estimate through the website and $250 comes off the job.
They leave our Natick warehouse the next day. You pay for the material when the delivery comes through the door.
Yes, furniture moving is a flat $250. Smaller rooms that you clear yourself skip that charge.
Labor is paid the day the crew shows up and starts. If your job includes sanding, it is paid half at the beginning and half at the last coat.
They are, never subcontractors, and each holds a license, insurance and NWFA certification. We warranty our labor for one year, and the wood carries the maker's warranty.
