Every installer in your Winchester house is licensed, insured and NWFA certified, and each is on our payroll. No subcontractor ever touches your floors.
We start with a tape, a moisture meter and a notepad. Then cartons, trim and reducers get stacked by the door so nobody hunts for a piece at noon.
Brazil Floors backs the labor for one year and the mill backs the boards. Crews are paid at arrival for labor, with material due at delivery.

Planks follow the longest wall, which wastes the least wood and stretches a narrow Winsted hallway.

Herringbone pieces meet at right angles in a zigzag, each one cut to fit. It suits the dining room of an old Winsted house.

Every row is mitered at 45 degrees and meets its neighbor in a clean V, a fit for a bigger family room.

Boards turned 45 degrees to the walls draw the eye across a small room and make a lakeside kitchen feel wider.

Oak squares with alternating grain give a sunroom the old parquet look many Winchester families remember.

Short oak pieces woven over and under with a dark border make a handsome entry in a hillside Winchester home.

Engineered oak floated over foam with glued seams, so nothing is fastened into the concrete. That labor is $2.00/Sq Ft.
We do. Vinyl plank labor is $2.00/Sq Ft and laminate is $1.99/Sq Ft, and waterproof vinyl suits a damp lower level near Crystal Lake.
The next day, from the Milford warehouse up Route 8 and Route 44. Boards then rest in your house for a few days to settle before we nail them.
A new tread costs $60 with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. If your stairs are sound, sanding and refinishing runs $50 per step.
You pay the labor on the morning the crew arrives, and the material when the cartons are delivered. There is no deposit to reserve a date.
Yes. Our labor carries a one year warranty and the boards keep the mill warranty, all installed by a licensed, insured and NWFA certified crew.
