Walkthrough Before We Start
Hillside lots leave many Southbury houses settled unevenly, so our lead runs a level over the subfloor, doorways and stairs before fastening.

A Brazil Floors employee, not a subcontractor, arrives at your Southbury door with a license, insurance and NWFA certification in hand.
We begin with a tape in every room, then park cartons, moldings and reducers beside the entry so each step follows the last.
Our workmanship is covered by a one year warranty, and the lumber maker stands behind the boards, which puts a guarantee on both sides of the job.

Boards follow the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least cutting waste, and they stretch a tight hall.

Short lengths meet at right angles in a zigzag, each piece trimmed in place. A period choice for an antique South Britain dining room.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees so each pair closes in a crisp V, a good fit for the open layouts built off Hurley Road.

Setting planks on a diagonal pulls the eye corner to corner, so a compact Heritage Village kitchen looks larger.

Oak blocks laid with the grain alternating, parquet style, make a classic floor for a sunroom on Bullet Hill Road.

Short oak strips woven over and under with a dark border belong in the antique houses along Main Street North.



Our nail down labor in Southbury is $2.25/Sq Ft, and the nails and underlayment sit inside that price. Buy the oak from us as well and the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, and we plan around quiet hours and elevator or hallway rules you give us. A floated engineered floor at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor is common over the slab in those units.
It can, after we screw the old boards down and add a plywood layer for a flat base. That prep is a separate line on your written estimate.
The boxes arrive the day after you order, and the planks rest in the house for several days before nailing. The material bill is due when the truck unloads.
Yes, each hardwood tread is $60 with its riser, nosing, stain and labor included. We stain the treads to match the new floor.
Moving furniture is a flat $250, and tearing out old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft. Both appear on the written quote.
Labor is due the morning the crew starts. Material is due at delivery, and sanding jobs split 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
A full year on our labor, plus the manufacturer warranty on the planks. Anything that shifts because of our install is fixed on us.
