/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, diagonal, herringbone, chevron and parquet patterns in Wenham, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Period homes in the village tend toward herringbone, while open plans prefer straight boards.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run along the longest wall, the layout that wastes the least wood and makes a long living room look calm.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces turned ninety degrees form a stepped zigzag, cut one by one for a formal dining room in an older colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Each plank end is cut at forty five degrees, so the rows meet in sharp arrows that lead the eye down a hall.
Diagonal Hardwood
Rows set on a diagonal stretch a narrow bedroom and hide a wall that has drifted out of square.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares turned against each other build a tidy grid, a traditional pick for a study or sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under, often with a darker border, bring an antique look to a front hall.
/ OUR SERVICES
Hardwood Floor Installers in Wenham
Our crew works out of the Natick store and warehouse at 9 Cochituate St and stays on your job from the first board to the last. In this house they rolled out underlayment, nailed the oak in tight rows and trimmed it to the doorways, the same routine we follow in Wenham Village colonials and the older houses by the Great Pond.
/ VINYL, REFINISHING AND STAIRS
More Flooring Work in Wenham
Once the oak is down, the same crew can float vinyl plank in a mudroom, sand and stain the hall, replace a few damaged boards or build new stair treads.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Wenham homeowners usually want the price, the start date and the furniture plan settled first. The answers to all three are below.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost in Wenham?
Nailing the oak down runs $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, with nails and underlayment part of that number. With the wood from us, unfinished oak is $5.50/Sq Ft installed and prefinished is $6.00/Sq Ft.
My house near Wenham Lake is damp in spring. Which hardwood should I choose?
Engineered planks floated over underlayment cope better with seasonal moisture, and labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft. We check the subfloor at the estimate before recommending anything.
Do you take up the old floor?
Yes. Tear-out of carpet, tile or worn boards is about $1.00/Sq Ft, and our crew hauls the debris away. Moving furniture out and back is a flat $250.
Can you match new boards to my existing oak?
Often, yes. We bring samples to the house, hold them against your current floor and trim, and stain unfinished oak to blend where the two meet.
How soon do the materials arrive?
Next day from our Natick warehouse once you order. The crew then plans the start around the delivery and the room schedule.
Do you also do the stairs?
We do. A new oak tread with riser, nosing and stain is $60, and sound existing steps can be refinished for $50 per step.
When do I pay?
Labor is paid when the crew arrives. Material is paid when the boxes are delivered, and refinishing is split 50% at the start and 50% at the final coat.
What does the warranty cover?
Our labor has a one year warranty, and the manufacturer stands behind the planks. The estimate visit is free and the crew is licensed and insured.
