Walkthrough Before We Start
Farmhouses and postwar capes here have been settling for decades, so our lead tests the subfloor, every doorway and the stairs in your house before opening cartons.

Whoever steps into your Southington home is on our payroll, licensed, insured and NWFA certified. Subcontractors never work on a Brazil Floors job.
Day one starts with a tape in each room. We stage the cartons, trim and reducers by the front door so the nailing never stops for a hunt.
Brazil Floors stands behind the labor for twelve months, and the board maker warrants the wood on its own, so install and oak are both covered.

Boards run alongside the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and a narrow ranch room feels longer.

Short boards meet at right angles in a zigzag, each cut and fitted by hand, a good match for a traditional dining room.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees make each row close in a crisp V, which flatters an open kitchen and family room.

Planks laid diagonally pull the eye across a space, so a small kitchen off Queen Street feels wider.

Little oak squares alternate their grain in a parquet pattern, a classic look for a study or a sunroom.

Narrow oak pieces weave over and under, framed by a darker border, and belong in the front rooms of older houses.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down with nails and underlayment included, or $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail-and-glue. Pair it with our oak and the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Usually yes, once we deal with the sag and any weak spots in the subfloor. We probe the joists and moisture at the estimate before quoting.
The carpet, pad and tack strips come out as part of prep. Removing the old floor costs roughly $1.00/Sq Ft.
Yes, moving is a flat $250 for the whole house. The pieces return to the rooms when the work ends.
You settle labor once the crew pulls up and starts working. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and an online estimate booking takes $250 off.
It leaves our Milford warehouse and tends to reach Southington the next day. Buying through us can cut the material cost by up to 30%.
Brazil Floors warrants the labor for one year, and the manufacturer covers the boards. Everyone laying your oak is on our payroll, with a license and insurance.
The estimator carries oak samples to your house and sets them on your floor in your own light. The estimate is free.
