Salt air and seasonal heating cycles shift old Cape framing, so our lead installer presses along the subfloor, sights each doorway and flags any soft spot before wood comes out of the box.

The installers who show up are Brazil Floors employees, not subcontractors, with a license, insurance and NWFA certification behind every one of them.
Start of day means a second tape measure pass, cartons stacked by room and transitions set at each opening, so the nailer can run board after board without a pause.
We back our labor for one year, and the mill's own warranty protects the wood, giving both the work and the boards coverage.

Rows follow the longest wall, using less wood and stretching a modest cottage living room.

Short boards stacked in a zigzag add a crafted look to the front hall of an antique cape.

Planks cut at matching angles meet in a neat point, fitting for a kitchen that opens to the deck.

Boards on a 45 degree diagonal lead the eye across a low-ceilinged bedroom and make it feel broader.

Oak squares with the grain turned in alternating directions suit an enclosed porch.

Short pieces woven over and under, often bordered in a darker strip, give a dining nook some craft.



Nail down labor sits at $2.25/Sq Ft with the nails and underlayment counted in. Wood from us makes the finished price $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Yes. Removing old flooring costs about $1.00/Sq Ft, and a flat $250 covers moving furniture away and back again.
Solid oak works on a plywood subfloor. Where the air stays damp or the base is a slab, engineered planks at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor handle the moisture better.
Seasonal houses do well with engineered or nail and glue installations that tolerate swings in humidity. The estimate visit sorts out which fits your place.
Delivery lands one day after the order is placed, rolling out of our Natick warehouse. Samples ride along to the free estimate so the choice is made at your own window.
One hardwood tread is $60 with the riser, nosing and stain included, and refinishing existing steps is $50 each.
The crew is paid for labor on arrival and the boxes are paid for when they land. Sanding is split, half as it begins and half with the final coat.
Our labor is warrantied for twelve months, and the mill adds its own coverage on the boards. Each person on site is a Brazil Floors employee, licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
