Walkthrough Before We Start
Old hill town houses settle, so our lead installer walks every room first, checks the subfloor for soft areas and measures the thresholds before choosing a plank direction.

You will never meet a subcontractor on this job. Brazil Floors puts its own licensed, insured, NWFA certified employees in your house.
Install day starts with another round of measuring. Boxes are sorted by room and trim is laid out at the doors, which keeps the nailer working steadily.
We guarantee our labor for a full year, and the plank maker provides a separate warranty on the wood, so both craft and material are protected.

Running boards along the longest wall wastes little wood and gives a narrow room more length.

Short pieces angled in a zigzag give a period hallway a tailored finish.

Boards cut to meet in a sharp V work nicely in an open kitchen added to an older house.

Rows turned at 45 degrees guide the eye across a small bedroom and make it feel roomier.

Oak squares with grain turned in alternating directions, in parquet style, suit a sitting room near Searsville.

Strips woven in an over and under pattern with a dark border bring detail to a dining room not far from Meekins Library.



Nail down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft with nails and underlayment counted in. If we supply the wood, the total comes to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
We check it first. Soft areas get fastened or replaced, and the oak goes over solid plywood. Taking up old flooring is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Engineered hardwood, floated over a pad with glue in the joints so nothing penetrates the concrete. Labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Yes. Crew labor for vinyl plank is $2.00/Sq Ft, and for laminate it is $1.99/Sq Ft. Vinyl is the better choice where a cellar or mudroom may get wet.
Flooring leaves the Natick warehouse and reaches your home the next day, so there is no long wait for boxes.
A new tread costs $60 with its riser, nosing, stain and labor folded in. Stairs you want to keep can be sanded and refinished for $50 per step.
Labor is paid when the crew shows up to begin. Material is paid on delivery of the boxes, and sanding is split half at the start, half at the last coat.
A year on labor from us and the maker's coverage on the wood. Your installers are employees who are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
