"As a local Realtor, I have worked with Ricardo and his team for many years. They are my go-to flooring experts, and I am always impressed by their attention to detail, timeliness, and thoughtful approach to installing or refinishing flooring. My clients are always pleased with the results of Ricardos work, and it always increases the sales price. Recently, I hired Ricardo and his excellent crew for my own home remodel project. As an end user, I am now even more blown away by their work they were noticeably more conscientious than the other service providers on site, keeping their workspace clean up and helping us maintain our sanity as my husband and I lived in the house through most of the process. They worked hard to minimize the time we needed to be out of the house and worked painstakingly to match the new flooring in our kitchen to our older, reclaimed flooring in the rest of the house which was no longer available. Their results were beyond fabulous. We could not be happier with our latest and refinished floors. I look forward to many future projects with this excellent flooring company!"

Greetings and welcome to Harmony Hardwoods. I started in the hardwood flooring industry in 1990 & got my contractors license in 2005. With an uncompromising attention to detail, craftsmanship & integrity I take great pride & confidence in saying that my company stands far above my competitors. Where most contractors overbook themselves and rush to get all their jobs done I take one job at a time and am focused on it entirely. It is my number one goal that my customers are completely satisfied my services.
"John's a good guy. Very fair with his pricing. I'm very happy with the final product!"

Experience service with the family touch (family owned & operated since 1973 ). You'll be delighted with the craftsmanship evident in your wood floor from us, we install, sand and refinish etc..
"We recently moved to Petaluma and wanted new flooring in our new home. We found Sunshine Flooring in San Rafael. Owner Dave Gilbert was happy to work with us In spite of the distance his crew needed to travel. We count ourselves lucky that he agreed to take on this job. He clearly laid out options (hardwood, engineered hardwood, vinyl plank, carpet), provided suggestions, but left the decisions up to us. (We chose engineered hardwood downstairs and vinyl plank upstairs.) He made an effort to get the materials as soon as possible, since we had a deadline to vacate our temporary quarters. His workers were on time, friendly, efficient, and good at their crafts. We love the end product and highly recommend this company. It had been a long and hard road for us to find our house, and Dave and crew were really a ray of sunshine."

Unlike typical flooring companies or one-man operations, Footprints Floors isn’t focused on selling you products—we’re dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. Many other companies require you to buy flooring directly from them to use their installation services, limiting your options and potentially guiding you toward choices that may not suit your needs. At Footprints Floors, we install any flooring material you want, regardless of where you purchased it. This approach allows us to remain unbiased and genuinely focused on helping you choose the best solutions for your unique situation. We offer a comprehensive range of services including hardwood installation, wood floor refinishing, tile installations, backsplashes, bathroom remodels, carpet, sheet vinyl, exterior flooring, and more. Because we handle all types of flooring, we’ll never steer you away from refinishing an existing floor or combining different flooring types throughout your home. We have strong relationships with various reputable vendors such as Floor and Decor, ProSource, Shaw, Coretec, and others. This means we can assist you in sourcing materials at discounted prices, and we even offer pick-up and delivery directly to your home, further simplifying your project. Our commitment extends beyond just installation. My production manager visits your job site daily to ensure quality standards are consistently met. We’re dedicated to completing your project efficiently, showing up every day—including weekends—until the job is done to your satisfaction. In short, at Footprints Floors, we’re not just in the flooring business; we’re in the customer service business, dedicated to making your flooring project smooth and stress-free.
"Bob Linda is very knowledgeable and professional."

Rental sanders can address moderate surface damage, but their effectiveness depends on scratch depth and overall floor condition. Drum sanders offer the most aggressive removal capability for deeper imperfections. However, if the damage extends into the wood structure or affects large portions of the floor, board replacement by an expert might be necessary before sanding. Consult a flooring professional for help.
Always thoroughly review the manufacturer's operating instructions before starting. Wear appropriate safety gear, including goggles to protect your eyes and a respirator to prevent inhalation of dust. Inspect electrical components before each use to prevent shock hazards. Keep children and pets away from the work area, and maintain a clean space by frequently vacuuming dust accumulation to prevent slipping and to ensure you can see well.
Sandpaper requirements depend on floor size, condition, and the sanding approach. Plan to use multiple grit levels (coarse, medium, and fine) with at least one to two sheets per 100 square feet for each grit. Floors with significant damage or multiple finish layers will require more coarse-grit sheets. Purchase extra supplies before beginning because running out mid-project can cause visible inconsistencies in the final result.
