Our Services
Wood is delivered early and allowed to reach equilibrium with your home's moisture and humidity before installation. No shortcuts, no cupping six months later.
We weave new boards into old so the seam disappears — matching species, cut, grain and color, then blending the finish across the whole field.
We sand coarse-to-fine through a full grit sequence so the floor is truly smooth — no scratch marks telegraphing through the finish.
The finish is already on the boards, so there's no sanding dust, no finish fumes, and no days of cure time. You walk on it sooner.
Stair treads take more punishment than any floor. We use solid stock, fasten them properly, and finish hard so they hold up to daily traffic.
Local Reviews
"Yvan and his crew did a wonderful job on my floors. 150 year old hardwoods repaired and restored to a perfect warm and solid Victorian finish. Yvan is lovely. He is punctual and thorough and really conscientious. I would recommend him without hesitation. His price is fair and he spent an hour with us picking out the final color. He is a craftsman and cares deeply about his work."

About Us
We've been working on hardwood floors across the Greater Bay Area since 1986. We refinish, repair, and install hardwood throughout Burlingame. The older Easton Addition and Burlingame Hills homes hold original hardwood and formal staircases worth preserving, while the village and newer areas bring install work. We're a deliberately small shop — Yvan and Oscar, his lead craftsman of 27 years — so the same two pairs of hands are on your floor from the first board to the last. If you're in Burlingame and your hardwood needs installation, repair, or refinishing, we'd be glad to come take a look.

Plan on the rooms being off-limits through sanding and finish cure — typically two to three days of work plus several days to a week before full traffic and furniture. We give you the full schedule before we start.
Every floor is different — this is a planning range based on typical Bay Area projects. The per-square-foot band varies with square footage, finish tier, and stair work. Run the instant estimator on this page for a range; we confirm exact pricing after a free in-home consultation.
Our sanders run on dust containment that pulls most of the dust out at the source. It's not dust-free, but it's a fraction of uncontained sanding, and we clean thoroughly.
