Walkthrough Before We Start
Mud from the trailhead, a golden retriever shaking off at the back door and a wood stove that spits the odd ember. Oak with a hard protective coat takes all of it.

Cartons come from our Long Branch, NJ warehouse and arrive by next-day delivery from Long Branch, even up a long driveway, so your start date does not slide.
Our estimator lays hickory, red oak and engineered samples on your subfloor, because Schooley's Mountain light and a showroom bulb make the same board look nothing alike.
You get twelve months of coverage on our labor, and the mill warrants the wood. The people on your floor are Brazil Floors staff, and they hold the license, the insurance and the NWFA certification.

Oak nailed over a sistered farmhouse subfloor ends the bounce that old joists develop over a century.

Hickory engineered planks float across a walkout slab, where seasonal humidity would test solid boards.

Steep driveways on the mountain slopes are routine, because our crew hand carries every bundle to the door.

Nailing and gluing at $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive keeps wide boards flat over plywood in a split level off Route 24.

A smoked prefinished oak suits a great room that looks out on the hills.

Dry winter heat shrinks boards, so we plan gaps and moisture before the first row.



Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft nailed, $2.50/Sq Ft glued and nailed plus adhesive, and $2.00/Sq Ft floated. Our boards make raw oak $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished $6.00.
Yes, after the low spots are built up and the subfloor is screwed tight. Houses this old move, and we plan for it at the first visit.
Moisture is the question, not the well. We take readings at the estimate and often propose floated engineered boards at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor.
We do it for roughly $1.00/Sq Ft and cart the waste away ourselves. Soft spots are repaired before new wood is set.
Scheduling the estimate through our website knocks $250 off. If you would like the furniture shifted, we charge a flat $250 for that.
Two prefinished rooms take about two days. Unfinished oak that gets sanded and sealed in your rooms takes closer to a week.
The wood ships from our Long Branch, NJ warehouse with next-day delivery from Long Branch, and the crew carries it in.
Our own employees only. The work carries a one year labor warranty, and the wood carries the manufacturer warranty.
