/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
We install straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet in Westbrook, with borders and inlays priced at the visit. Older cottages near Middle Beach often take a simple straight lay, while renovated homes try chevron.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards follow the longest wall, the quickest layout with the least waste, and it stretches a narrow cottage living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards turn at 90 degrees in a zigzag, each hand cut, which suits a dining room in an older Westbrook colonial.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board is mitered at 45 degrees so the rows meet in a crisp V, which flatters an open kitchen and dining area.
Diagonal Hardwood
Diagonal planks lead the eye across the room, so a small cottage kitchen near Grove Beach feels wider.
Checkerboard Parquet
Small oak squares alternate their grain in a parquet pattern, a classic look for a three season room made year round.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak pieces weave over and under, framed by a darker border, a good match for the front room of an older house.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Straight answers on price, timing and prep for hardwood installation in Westbrook, whether you are near Chapman Beach or off Spencer Plains Road.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat does hardwood installation cost for a beach cottage in Westbrook?
Labor is $2.25/Sq Ft for nail-down, nails and underlayment included, and $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive for nail-and-glue. Pair that with our material and it comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Is real hardwood a good idea so close to the Sound?
In a year round house with a dry crawl space or basement, solid oak does well. Closer to the water we lean toward engineered planks, which move less with humidity.
Can you replace the carpet in a Grove Beach cottage?
We pull the carpet and pad, scrape off the tack strips and fix any soft spots before laying oak. Taking up the old floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Will you move my furniture out of the house?
Moving furniture is a flat $250, covering every room, and we return it when the floor is done. Beach house owners with seasonal furnishings often use it.
When do I pay during the job?
You settle labor the day the crew arrives and starts, and the boxes are paid for when they are delivered. Reserving the estimate online takes $250 off the total.
How fast can the wood reach Westbrook?
Cartons leave our Milford warehouse and generally arrive the next day, since Route 1 runs straight along the shore. Up to 30% off applies when you buy the material through us.
What stands behind the finished floor?
A year of labor warranty comes from Brazil Floors, and the planks carry the manufacturer's own coverage. The people laying your floor are our employees, not subs.
Can I look at samples before choosing?
The estimator brings oak samples to your door and lays them on your floor in your own daylight. The in-home estimate costs nothing.
