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."

"Responsive, reliable and reasonable. Yvan installed new oak flooring in a section of an older home. He matched the new flooring to the rest of the house beautifully. He exceeded expectations in each stage of demo, installation, finish and cleanup."

About Us
We've been working on hardwood floors across the Greater Bay Area since 1986. We refinish, repair, and install hardwood throughout Larkspur, from downtown out to the Landing and the canyon sites. The Baltimore Canyon hillside properties get careful moisture inspection before any install — the same care we take on every Marin hillside. 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 Larkspur and your hardwood needs installation, repair, or refinishing, we'd be glad to come take a look.
