Walkthrough Before We Start
Old mill-town houses settle over the decades. So the lead installer sights down the subfloor, tests the stairs and thresholds, and decides how the rows should run before any wood is opened.

Hardwood Floor Installation Cost
Ware homeowners pay $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down hardwood labor, with the nails and underlayment already inside that figure. Whether the house stands near the Ware River or out along the Weir River, the rate does not move.
Nail Down Installation
Raw red or white oak is nailed down, then sanded and finished inside the house. It is what many homes near the Congregational Meeting House were built to carry.

Remeasure and Material Count
When install day arrives, cartons are counted again and trim pieces are set at every opening. Then the first row goes against the straightest wall and everything else follows it.

One Year Install Warranty
We stand behind the labor for twelve months. The boards bring their own warranty from whoever milled them.
/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We lay oak in straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns in Ware. Borders and inlays are priced on site, and the old brick-and-clapboard blocks around the factory village often suit herringbone.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Running the boards with the long wall means less waste and a hall that looks longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short lengths turn at right angles in a zigzag. We cut every one by hand for a dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Rows cut at 45 degrees come together in a crisp V down the middle of the floor.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid on the diagonal draw the eye across the room, so a small kitchen reads bigger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Alternating oak squares give a sunroom an old parquet look.
Basket Weave Parquet
Woven strips over and under, often with a border, suit a formal room in an older house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
What will it cost, when can we start and how should the room be prepared? Answers for Ware homeowners follow.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much is hardwood flooring labor in Ware?
Our nail-down work costs $2.25/Sq Ft, nails and underlayment included. With the oak supplied by us the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
We have carpet over old pine boards. Is that a problem?
Not for us. The crew takes up the carpet and pad, checks the old boards, fixes weak spots and then lays plywood or nails straight where it is sound.
Which hardwood is right for a slab?
Engineered, floated on padding with glue at the joints. No fasteners touch the concrete, and the labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Do you offer nail and glue?
Yes, at $2.50/Sq Ft plus the adhesive. It gives a firmer feel underfoot in busy rooms.
Who moves the furniture?
We do, for a flat $250, so the room is clear when the crew arrives.
When does the wood arrive and when do I pay?
Boxes leave the Natick warehouse for Ware the following day. Labor is due as work begins and material as the boxes are delivered.
Can I get a break on materials?
Up to 30% off the material you buy through Brazil Floors, plus $250 off if you book the estimate online. We bring samples to your house.
What if a plank fails?
The manufacturer warranty covers the wood. Our labor carries a one-year warranty, and the crew is licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
