Elite Hardwood Floors
Elite Hardwood Floors
Local crews serving homeowners from Sausalito to Novato, with straight pricing and floors built to last.
You walk on your floors more than you touch anything else in your house. Pick the wrong backsplash and it's a little annoying every time you cook. Get a floor wrong and you feel it under your feet in every room, every day, for as long as you own the place.
Here's the thing about flooring mistakes: they don't show up on day one. A subfloor that wasn't leveled right, boards nailed down before the wood finished acclimating to your house, a finish that went on too thin. None of that looks wrong at the final walkthrough. It shows up eighteen months later as a squeak that won't quit, a gap between boards wide enough to catch a sock, or a finish that's already dulling in the hallway.
We build every job assuming you'll still be living on it in thirty years, because a solid hardwood floor that goes down right and gets sanded a few times along the way will outlast most of the rest of the house. Marin's fog and humidity swings put more stress on wood than most inland counties ever see, which is why acclimation and subfloor prep matter more here than they do out in Sacramento.
New solid or engineered hardwood, installed square, level, and acclimated properly before a single nail goes in. We'll walk you through wood species and construction options so the choice fits your home, not just a showroom floor.

Real color matching, dust containment while we sand, and a finish schedule that holds up under Marin's humidity swings. If your floors still have wood left to work with, refinishing usually costs a fraction of tearing them out.

Water damage, pet scratches, squeaks, boards that have started to cup or buckle. We fix what's salvageable and match new wood to old so the patch doesn't stand out.
Learn More →We give you the real number before we start. No padded estimate that turns into a surprise invoice halfway through.
If a refinish buys you another ten years, we'll say so instead of pushing a full tear-out.
We protect the rest of your house while we work, and the crew cleans up at the end of every day they're here.
Tell us the square footage and the wood type, or what's going on with your current floor, and we can usually give you a ballpark before we ever step inside.
We check subfloor condition and moisture levels, and confirm the number in writing.
New wood gets time to acclimate, the rest of your house gets protected, and the crew cleans up every day.
We don't call a job done until you've looked at it in daylight and signed off.
Marin County homes have their own quirks. Coastal fog and humidity swings, older homes with subfloors that have settled over decades, additions where the new flooring never quite lined up with the original house. We work across San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, Sausalito, and the rest of the county, and every one of those towns has a slightly different housing stock. We adjust the approach instead of running the same script on every job.
"They matched the stain on our repair so well I couldn't find the patch a week later, even knowing exactly where to look."
— Karen, San Rafael"Straightforward pricing and they actually showed up on the day they said they would. That alone put them ahead of the other quotes we got."
— Mike, Novato"Our floors had cupped pretty badly after a slow leak under the dishwasher. They explained what actually caused it and fixed that, not just the boards on top."
