Flooring for every Piedmont home
Piedmont is a historic enclave tucked into the Oakland hills — a square mile of Mediterranean villas, Tudors, Craftsman bungalows, and Spanish Revivals built mostly between 1910 and 1935. Most of these homes still have their original old-growth hardwood somewhere: hiding under carpet, under decades of wax, or in rooms that haven\'t been touched in thirty years. Bringing that wood back is one of our favorite things to do.
Refinishing old-growth hardwood isn\'t like refinishing a 15-year-old builder-grade floor. The grain is tighter, the boards are wider, and you often get 2-4 refinishes over a floor\'s lifetime — meaning you need an installer who doesn\'t take more wood than necessary. We assess thickness, work carefully around period millwork and built-ins, and finish in tones that match the character of the home.
For whole-home remodels where the original floors are beyond saving, wide-plank engineered hardwood in a warm natural stain is the right answer. It respects the architecture and gives you stability across the mix of subfloor conditions you get in an 85-year-old home. For kitchens and bathrooms, premium waterproof LVP handles the water without visually breaking the flow.
We\'re based in Oakland, which means Piedmont is right next door — minutes away, not a trip across the tunnel.

Piedmont FAQ
Piedmont flooring questions
Yes. Most pre-1940s Piedmont homes still have the original old-growth oak, maple, or fir under carpet or decades of abuse. We assess the thickness (you typically get 2-4 refinishes over a floor's lifetime), sand carefully, and finish to match the period of the home. The results can be stunning.
Yes. We carry a wide range of stain colors and finishes, and we test on a hidden area first. For Mediterranean, Tudor, and Craftsman homes from the 1910s–1930s, we know the warm, amber-leaning tones that match the period. We'll bring samples to your Piedmont estimate.
For most Piedmont whole-home remodels, wide-plank engineered hardwood is the right answer — it gives you the real-wood warmth the architecture deserves, with stability across the mix of subfloor types you get in older homes. For kitchens and bathrooms, premium waterproof LVP is excellent. We'll lay out a floor plan and material list with your estimate.
Generally no. Flooring replacement is considered maintenance and doesn't require a permit from the City of Piedmont. If structural subfloor repair is needed (common in older Piedmont homes), we handle any required permits.
A single-room refinish: 2-3 days including cure time. Whole-home refinish: 4-7 days. A full hardwood installation on a 2,500+ sq ft Piedmont home: 5-10 days depending on layout and subfloor condition. We give you a specific timeline with your quote.
Luxury vinyl plank starts at $8/sq ft and hardwood at $12/sq ft — installed. Refinishing existing hardwood runs $3-$5/sq ft. Premium materials run higher. Use our free Cost Calculator for a custom estimate.
