Services & Process

What we do and how we do it.

We keep it simple. Clear communication and honest pricing, from first call to finished floor.

The Process

How we work. From the first call.

Every project starts with a conversation. We listen, we plan, and we build. Simple.

A family home — the kind of home Randy builds floors for

Step 01

Discovery

We start with how you live. Family, pets, plans to sell, plans to stay. Randy listens before he recommends anything — because what your floors need depends on how you’re going to use them.

Step 02

Material & Sample

We visit your space. Confirm what will work for the room and your home. Species, cut, color, and finish chosen together, nothing committed until you’re sure.

The Build

Randy and his crew install on a clear schedule, respectful of your home and your space. They’re known for leaving a job cleaner than they found it. You get a floor and a number you can call if anything comes up.

Services

Three disciplines.
All done by hand.

No subcontracted crews, no franchise scripts. Every project is done by Randy and the small team he’s worked with for years.

i.

Restoration & Refinish

Old floors brought back without losing their character. Known as “sand and finish,” we use dustless sanding, careful color work, and your floors will get a new life. Before we talk installation, we’ll tell you honestly if a refinish is all you need.

ii.

New Installation

Wide-plank, strip, parquet, herringbone. Domestic hardwoods sourced and acclimated to homes across the Olympic Peninsula — milled to fit, finished in place.

iii.

Custom & Specialty

Custom-milled lumber, bespoke patterns, stair treads, inlays. The work that no off-the-shelf solution covers.

The Work

Another contractor told these homeowners their floors needed to come out. Randy disagreed. He was right.

Questions

Things people ask before they call.

Do I really need new floors, or can my existing ones be saved?

Frequently, your floors can be restored, even if another contractor has told you otherwise. Randy regularly takes on floors that have been written off as beyond repair. Restoration (Sand & Finish) is almost always less expensive than replacement, and since you’re working with what’s already there, it’s better for the environment too. If you’re not sure, get a second opinion. We’re happy to take a look.

What’s the difference between New Installation and Restoration (Sand & Finish)?

New installation means bringing in fresh hardwood, with species, width, character, and finish all chosen for your project. Restoration (Sand & Finish) means we take your existing floor down to bare wood and start over: new color, new sheen, without paying for new material. If your floor has good bones, restoration is usually the smarter investment. If you want something completely different, or you’re working with a floor that genuinely can’t be saved, that’s when New Installation makes sense. We’ll tell you honestly which one fits.

How do I get a quote?

Share some basic information about your project: square footage, floor condition, and what you’re hoping to end up with. That’s usually enough to put together a quote without a lot of back and forth. Pricing is straightforward and upfront. Reach us through the contact form or just give us a call. We’ll get right back to you.

What species and styles are available?

Most hardwood floors are red or white oak. There’s a reason for that: it’s stable, beautiful, and takes finish well. But we work with a much wider range, including character rustic floors sourced directly from a Montana mill we’ve had a relationship with for decades. Hand-scraped, wide-plank, custom species. We also carry Premium Vinyl Plank for projects where hardwood isn’t the right fit. If you’re open to thinking outside standard oak, come into the showroom. Contractors and designers working on distinctive projects are especially welcome.

Do you work outside Clallam County?

Our primary service area is the Olympic Peninsula, but we travel for the right project. We installed a cabin floor in Leavenworth during a week of road washouts and heavy snow because the client needed it done and we said we’d do it. If the work is interesting and the client is committed, geography is a conversation. Reach out and tell us what you’re working on.
