Walkthrough Before We Start
Before a carton is opened, our lead installer inspects the subfloor, tests thresholds and looks at how the stairs meet the landing, since older Townsend houses seldom sit perfectly flat.

/ Hardwood Flooring Pros IN TOWNSEND
Hardwood Floor Installation Cost
A hardwood floor in Townsend is priced at $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down labor, and that rate swallows the nails and the underlayment. Homes by the Squannacook River and homes on the hilltops are billed alike, with no line added at the end.
Nail Down Installation
Raw oak or maple is nailed down and then sanded and sealed inside the house, which lets the boards line up neatly with walls that bow a bit in a hundred-year-old cape.

Licensed, Insured Installation
The people who walk through your front door are Brazil Floors employees. Each holds a license, carries insurance and has passed NWFA certification, and none of the work is passed to outside crews.

Remeasure and Material Count
Next comes the measuring day. Each room gets a tape and a moisture reading, and the boards, trim pieces and reducers wait by the door so the crew works without gaps in the schedule.

One Year Install Warranty
Our workmanship is covered for twelve months. The mill adds its own warranty on the planks themselves, which leaves both the install and the wood protected.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Layout shapes a room before the stain does. Straight lay, diagonal, herringbone and chevron are all offered in Townsend, and borders are priced after a visit.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running boards with the long wall is quick and wasteful of nothing. It makes a narrow farmhouse parlor look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces turned in a zigzag are cut one at a time, a good call for a formal dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Mitered at 45 degrees, rows meet in a crisp V. This suits the open layouts of newer homes in the Western Hills.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks pull the eye across a compact room and make a small den feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak with shifting grain add a parquet look to a sunporch or home office.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, usually with a dark border, belong in the oldest houses near the Squannacook River.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is a hardwood floor in Townsend?
Nail-down labor costs $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. If you buy the wood through us, unfinished comes to $5.50/Sq Ft and prefinished to $6.00/Sq Ft with the install.
Can you lay hardwood over carpet in an old cape?
Yes. The crew lifts the carpet and pad, pulls the tack strips and fastens down any loose subfloor, then nails oak to solid plywood.
What floor works over a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated on a pad with glued seams. No nails go into the slab, and labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you do vinyl plank and laminate as well?
We do, at $2.00/Sq Ft for vinyl plank and $1.99/Sq Ft for laminate, labor only. Both are worth a look in a mudroom or basement.
Can the floor be delivered quickly?
Next-day delivery comes from our Natick warehouse. The estimator also tells you how the boxes will be staged in the house.
What does it cost to do the stairs?
One new oak tread is $60, and the riser, nosing and stain are part of that. Sanding steps that are still sound costs $50 each.
What is the payment schedule?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives and material when the cartons are delivered. Sanding is divided evenly between day one and the last coat.
Does the install come with a warranty?
Yes, a one-year warranty on the labor and the manufacturer warranty on the wood. The people on site are insured, licensed employees with NWFA certification.
