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
"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."

"We had to install a new hardwood floor on a small area after we removed a wood stove. Yvan and the other worker did a great job in weaving in the new wood with the old, sanding and refinishing at a great price."

About Us
We've been working on hardwood floors across the Greater Bay Area since 1986. We serve all of Richmond with refinish, repair, and installation. The older homes around Point Richmond are where we do most of our restoration work here, while the newer builds and the Marina Bay area bring install jobs — a steady mix across the city. 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 Richmond and your hardwood needs installation, repair, or refinishing, we'd be glad to come take a look.
Local FAQ
Yes, we serve all of Richmond including Point Richmond, Marina Bay, the Iron Triangle, and North Richmond.
Yes. The original hardwood in Richmond's older homes is solid stock that sands and refinishes back to a warm surface. As long as there's enough wood above the tongue, we restore it.
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.
We do both. A single damaged board gets a lace-in repair — we weave in matching stock and blend the finish. We only refinish the whole field when the floor genuinely needs it.
