/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors lays straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet patterns across West Hartford, with borders and inlays quoted on site. Herringbone suits a Prospect Hill dining room, straight lay a Bishops Corner ranch.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow Elmwood hallway.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards zigzag at right angles, each one cut to fit. A strong look for a Colonial Revival dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Each row is mitered at 45 degrees to meet its neighbor in a clean V, which suits a wide family room.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks turned 45 degrees to the walls pull the eye across a small kitchen and make it feel wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain bring the old parquet look back to a Farmington Avenue sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short oak pieces woven over and under, edged with a dark border, a handsome fit for a Tudor foyer.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Plain answers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood in West Hartford, from the Center to Bishops Corner.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in West Hartford?
Nail-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft in West Hartford, and the price includes nails and underlayment. When we supply the wood too, the package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you put new oak over the old floors in a 1920s Colonial Revival?
Usually yes, after the crew checks the joists and the subfloor for movement. Anything soft gets fastened or replaced, and that line appears on the quote.
What is involved in taking out my old carpet?
Tear-out of old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft, including hauling. The estimator walks the rooms and puts the number in writing.
How soon can the wood arrive from your warehouse?
Next-day delivery comes from our Milford warehouse. A start date then depends on the crew schedule, which often opens within a week.
Which method suits a finished basement off Park Road?
Floating engineered planks, which sit on foam and skip the nails, at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor. Nail-and-glue upstairs is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive.
Is there a break on materials?
Buying through Brazil Floors takes up to 30% off the material, and booking the estimate online is $250 off. Both show on the final bill.
When is each payment due?
The labor payment falls on the morning the crew arrives to start. Material is billed when the boxes reach your West Hartford door, and nothing sooner.
Do you move the furniture?
Yes, for a flat $250 across the house. Everything goes back in place when the last row is down.
