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 Sausalito. The steep hillside sites get careful moisture inspection before any install, and the waterfront and Marinship condos and live-work spaces call for engineered hardwood over concrete. 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 Sausalito and your hardwood needs installation, repair, or refinishing, we'd be glad to come take a look.
Local FAQ
Yes, we serve all of Sausalito including Old Town, the Hill, Marinship, and the hillside homes.
Yes — for condos and live-work spaces with concrete subfloors we install engineered hardwood, which is designed for that application. Solid nail-down hardwood needs a wood subfloor.
Yes — the steep hillside sites get a thorough subfloor, crawl, and moisture inspection before any install, because moisture is the top cause of cupping and gapping.
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.
