Walkthrough Before We Start
Salt air and long winters move wood on the Vineyard, so our lead presses the subfloor for soft areas, sights along each hall and notes every threshold before cartons are opened.

We do not hand your island job to outside contractors. The people on your floor are Brazil Floors employees with a license, insurance and an NWFA certificate.
Work opens with a fresh set of measurements and boxes sorted into the rooms they belong to, with trim at the door, so the nailer never stops to look for a piece.
The labor is warranted for a year by us, and the plank manufacturer warrants the wood, so the install and the material each have a name behind them.

Boards that follow the longest wall leave the least waste and stretch a small room.

Short planks angled into a zigzag give an entry a crafted, traditional feel.

Planks mitered to meet in a clean point flatter the open plans of newer island houses.

Rows laid at 45 degrees lead the eye across the room and make a small bedroom feel wider.

Oak squares with the grain turned in alternate directions give a sunroom a classic parquet floor.

Short strips woven over and under, set inside a darker border, bring detail to the dining room of an older farmhouse.



A West Tisbury nail-down floor costs $2.25/Sq Ft in labor, with the nails and underlayment built into that number. With our oak the installed package is $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Brazil Floors coordinates the ferry crossing for the crew and the material, so you do not have to arrange freight. We go over the plan with you at the estimate.
Yes. Leave a key or a lockbox code, and the crew handles delivery, installation and cleanup, with labor paid when work begins.
Engineered hardwood floated on padding with glued joints, so no nail enters the concrete. That method is $2.00/Sq Ft for labor.
Yes, tear-out is about $1.00/Sq Ft. The crew confirms it while looking at your rooms during the free in-home estimate.
It is a flat $250. Pieces are carried out, then set back once the floor is done.
Labor is due when the crew arrives to start and material when the boxes are delivered. No deposit is needed to hold a date.
We stand behind the labor for a year and the maker covers the wood itself. Whoever lays your boards carries a license and insurance, and was certified through the NWFA.
