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. Danville's upscale homes, including Blackhawk and Diablo, are where we do some of our premium hardwood work — wide-plank white oak, walnut, herringbone patterns, and formal staircases with custom-stain or hardwax-oil finishes. We bring samples and take the time these projects deserve. 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 Danville and your hardwood needs installation, repair, or refinishing, we'd be glad to come take a look.
Local FAQ
Yes — Danville's homes are a natural fit for pattern work like herringbone, wide-plank walnut, and premium finish tiers. We bring samples to the consultation.
Yes, we serve all of Danville including Blackhawk, Alamo, Diablo, Sycamore, and Greenbrook.
Yes — hillside and moisture-prone sites get a thorough subfloor and crawl inspection before install, because moisture is the top cause of cupping and gapping. We meter everything.
Every floor is different — this is a planning range based on typical Bay Area projects. Installation runs in a per-square-foot band that varies with species, 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.
Yes — we sand and refinish hardwood stair treads and risers, and install new treads where the originals are too far gone, matched to your floor.
For prefinished installs you can walk on the floor the same day. For site-finished work, figure on the rooms being off-limits through sanding and finish cure — usually several days to a week. We give you the full schedule up front.
