Walkthrough Before We Start
Two centuries of settling leave many Suffield floors with dips and humps, so our lead checks the subfloor, thresholds and stairs before any nailing.

Every installer at your Suffield house is a Brazil Floors employee with a license, insurance and NWFA certification, and none is a subcontractor.
Day one begins with a tape measure in every room and a neat stack of cartons, trim and reducers by the door, so the install flows without gaps.
A full year of warranty covers our labor, while the board manufacturer covers the oak, so the work and the wood both have a backstop.

Boards run parallel to the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and it lengthens a narrow colonial hall.

Short boards laid in a right angle zigzag, every piece trimmed on the spot. A period match for a Federal house dining room on Main Street.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees so each pair closes in a sharp V, a fit for the open plans of newer Hastings Hill homes.

A diagonal lay carries the eye across the room, which makes a small colonial kitchen look wider.

Oak squares set with alternating grain, parquet style, a traditional finish for a sunroom on Kent Avenue.

Short oak strips woven over and under with a dark border, at home in the historic houses along Main Street.



Nail down work in Suffield is $2.25/Sq Ft of labor, and the nails and underlayment are already counted. Order the oak through us and the total is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes, a plywood layer is screwed down first so the oak has a flat, solid bed. That prep is a separate line on the written estimate.
A floated engineered floor at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor is the standard answer. When moisture shows on the slab, vinyl plank is the safer pick and we say so.
Yes, the crew drives up for the full run of your project and the material follows the day after you order. Planks then rest in the house a few days before nailing.
New hardwood treads are $60 apiece, with the riser, nosing, stain and labor folded in. We match the stain to the new floor.
Clearing and returning furniture is a flat $250 for the house. Old flooring tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
The labor payment falls due the morning the crew begins, and the oak is paid for when the delivery arrives.
Labor is guaranteed for a year and the planks carry the maker's warranty. A gap traced to our install is closed at our expense.
