/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
A narrow rowhouse, a sixth floor apartment and a two family with a rental upstairs all need different installs. Here is how the wood fits each home.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Red oak nailed over a re-fastened subfloor silences the long hall of a rowhouse that has settled for a century.
Herringbone Hardwood
Engineered planks float over concrete in a high floor apartment, and the sound pad softens footsteps for the neighbor below.
Chevron Hardwood
Steep stoops, tight turns and walk up flights are routine here, because our crew carries each carton by hand.
Diagonal Hardwood
Where boards go over plywood in a two family, nail and glue at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps them tight.
Checkerboard Parquet
A pale prefinished oak makes a small living room read larger and brighter.
Basket Weave Parquet
Heavy foot traffic from the hallway to the kitchen calls for a hard finish, and we choose one for those boards.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood flooring cost in Union City apartments?
Labor breaks down as $2.25/Sq Ft nailed, $2.50 nailed and glued with adhesive extra, or $2.00 for a floating engineered floor. Add our lumber and unfinished oak totals $5.50/Sq Ft while prefinished totals $6.00.
Our building is older and the floor is uneven. Can new oak go in?
Yes. We level the low spots and fasten loose subfloor first, since prewar buildings shift over the years.
Does the building allow hardwood on an upper floor?
Usually, with a sound pad under floating engineered planks, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Send us the building rules and we plan the job around them.
What about the old floor that is there?
Lifting the old floor costs around $1.00/Sq Ft, and it all rides away on our truck. Any squeak or spongy patch is repaired ahead of the new boards.
How can I trim the cost?
Reserve your estimate on our website and $250 is deducted. Need the sofa and bed shifted for you? We charge a flat $250.
How long will the floor take?
One or two days handle a pair of prefinished rooms. Raw oak sanded and coated in the unit runs nearer a week.
Where do the boards ship from?
The stock sits in our warehouse in Long Branch, NJ, and a truck brings it to your building the day after you order, under next-day delivery from Long Branch.
Who works in my home and what is covered?
Brazil Floors staff do the whole job, with nobody subcontracted. One year of labor coverage applies, and the board manufacturer warrants the material.
