We were trying to upgrade our den to something unique, but within a budge. We went to three different hard wood flooring specialty stores. One offered a lot of mass market options at cheaper prices, but they didn't come across as flooring craftsmen. They seemed more about quantity than quality. The other was pushing unique oil based flooring and they seems very much the flooring artisans, but they never followed up on an estimate and seemed unprofessional. Tamalpais Hardwood Floors was the perfect balance of having lots of quality selections, and a great professional craftsman approach. They had what we felt were the best hardwood choices in Marin. They're showroom floor is covered with a wide range of various samples so you get a good sense of what different types of wood, colors, and surfaces look like, and when their crew came to install, they did it quick and professional.
