/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight lay, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in West Haven, with borders and inlays priced on site. Older homes near the Green often take herringbone; newer builds off Saw Mill Road lean to chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Planks follow the longest wall, which wastes the least material and makes a narrow West Shore hallway look longer.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces set in a zigzag at right angles, each cut and fitted by hand. A period match for a dining room near the West Haven Green.
Chevron Hardwood
Boards cut at 45 degrees so each pair closes into a crisp V. It fits renovated open layouts along Campbell Avenue.
Diagonal Hardwood
A diagonal lay draws the eye corner to corner, so a compact Savin Rock kitchen reads bigger than it is.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak blocks set with the grain alternating, parquet style, a traditional detail for a sunroom on Jones Hill Road.
Basket Weave Parquet
Short strips woven over and under with a contrasting border, a classic in the older homes around West Haven Green.

Hardwood Floor Installers in West Haven
The crew comes from our store and warehouse at 92 Munson St in Milford, a short drive up the coast, and stays on your West Haven job to the end. Here they laid underlayment, drove the nails home and squared each doorway, the same method used from the triple deckers by the Green to homes on the West Shore.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Honest numbers on price, start dates and prep for hardwood floor installation in West Haven, from Savin Rock to Jones Hill Road.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood floor installation cost in West Haven?
Our nail down rate is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, and the nails and underlayment are inside it. Supply the oak through us and the all in price is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can you lay hardwood in a triple decker?
Yes. Multi-family houses get the same prep, with loose subfloor sections fastened first and the oak nailed over sound plywood.
Is a floating floor right over my basement slab?
Floated engineered hardwood at $2.00/Sq Ft of labor is the usual choice over concrete. A slab that feels damp is better served by vinyl plank, and we say so at the estimate.
Do you work near the shore where it gets humid?
Yes, and the planks rest in your West Haven house a few days before nailing. That step keeps seasonal gaps small close to the water.
How quickly does the material get here?
It ships next day from our Milford warehouse, a short drive away. You pay for it as it arrives.
Can you replace the stairs while you are there?
Yes, a new hardwood tread is $60, with the riser, nosing, stain and labor included. We stain it to match the new floor.
What is the payment schedule?
Labor is due when the crew shows up to start. Material is paid on delivery, and furniture moving is a flat $250 if you want it.
How long is the warranty?
One year on labor from us plus the manufacturer warranty on the oak. A problem from our install gets fixed at no charge.
