Water Resistant Laminate
Hockey sticks dropped by the door, a husky's claws, a toddler's toy truck: good laminate takes all of it, and it costs a fraction of what new solid oak would in that same room.

Planks ride up Route 495 the day after you choose. They rest in the house briefly so they match the indoor air, then our installers lock the first rows together.
Our estimator brings laminate, LVP and hardwood samples, sets them on your floor near the window, and you see each one in the room's real light before deciding.
Brazil Floors stands behind each laminate job for one year, while flaws in the planks fall to the manufacturer. Pay our labor on install day one and the material at drop off.



Our crew charges $1.99/Sq Ft in labor. For the planks themselves, Brazil Floors buys at contractor pricing and passes that on, and if a rival puts a cheaper price in writing, we'll beat it.
LVP is the safer bet below grade, so for a basement near Milford Pond we usually steer folks there. Laminate is a great choice for dry main floors and upstairs bedrooms.
It is, provided the line you choose is water resistant and spills get wiped up quickly. Along the sink and dishwasher, our installers run a thin bead of clear silicone at the plank edges.
A short rest helps. Our crew stacks the unopened boxes flat in the room you're redoing a day or two early, so the planks settle to your house's humidity before installation.
Two or three average rooms usually take a day. Doing an entire downstairs in a Prospect Heights duplex can stretch longer, since every doorway gets its casing trimmed.
Carpet and its pad always come out, at roughly $1.00/Sq Ft with the haul away included. Ceramic or sheet goods that lie flat are usually left in place, and the laminate floats above them.
Our installers collect labor once they've unloaded the van on day one, and material when the cartons come off our truck. The estimate never costs anything.
Say a row we clicked in near your patio door separates next winter: within the first year, our crew comes back to fix it, no bill. Defective planks fall under the maker's warranty. Each person on our Milford crews is NWFA certified, and our insurance covers them.
