The people who work in your house draw pay from us and hold a license, insurance and NWFA certification. No one on site is a stranger hired by the day.
A tape goes along every wall on the first visit. Cartons, trim and reducers are lined up by the door so the crew never stalls mid-room.
Brazil Floors guarantees labor for twelve months, and the manufacturer stands behind the boards on its own, so workmanship and wood each have cover.

Boards run alongside the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and it lengthens a narrow ranch room.

Short pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag, cut by hand and fitted one at a time, a fit for a period dining room.

Boards mitered at 45 degrees make each row close in a clean V, which looks sharp in an open kitchen and den.

Planks set on the diagonal pull the eye across a room and make a small kitchen read larger.

Oak squares with alternating grain make a parquet floor, a traditional finish for a sunroom or study.

Narrow strips of oak weave over and under, usually framed by a darker border, and suit an older front hall.



Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment inside the price, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. Add our oak and you land at $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Usually yes, once the plywood is sound and flat. We screw down any loose spots and check that the moisture is within range before the oak goes down.

Furniture moves for a flat $250, and everything returns when the install is done. That covers the entire house.
The labor charge is paid on the morning the crew arrives, and the material charge when your boxes are dropped off. An online estimate booking is worth $250 off.
They roll out of our Milford warehouse and typically reach Wallingford the next day. Material bought through us can be up to 30% less.
Brazil Floors gives a one-year labor warranty, and the board maker adds its own. All installers are our employees, licensed and insured.
The estimator carries oak samples to your door and sets them on your own floor. That visit is free.
