Amador County · about 15 to 20 minutes from our Sutter Creek showroom
Barron's brings flooring samples, countertop options and remodel planning to Ione homes from the Sutter Creek showroom, 15 to 20 minutes up Highway 104. Free in-home measure, written estimate, and our own installers on every job.
Ione is about 15 to 20 minutes from our Sutter Creek showroom · about 11 miles · Highway 49 to Highway 104 to Highway 124 · Free in-home measure · Directions to the showroom
From the showroom we take Highway 49 south to Martell, then Highway 104 west down the hill into Ione. From Plymouth and the Shenandoah Valley, Highway 124 runs straight south into town.
Ione sits lower and warmer than the rest of Amador County, where the foothills meet the valley, and its housing shows it: slab-foundation tract homes around Castle Oaks, older brick and wood-frame houses near Main Street, and ranchettes out toward Lake Camanche. Each one calls for a different floor, and the measure at your house is where that choice gets made.
Everything you need for the project is in one building in Sutter Creek: hundreds of flooring samples, cabinet displays and full countertop slabs. Start there, or start at home with the samples we bring, and finish with one estimate that covers the whole job.

Homes in Ione
The Castle Oaks neighborhood near the golf club, along with the other subdivisions built since the 1990s, gives Ione a large stock of newer homes on concrete slabs with open floor plans. Slab construction suits flooring well: no crawlspace moisture, no springy joists, and long runs where one product can go from the entry through the great room and kitchen. The concrete itself gets a moisture test and any high spots are ground flat before anything is glued or floated over it.
Near Main Street, Church Street and Howard Park the houses are older, some dating to Ione's early days as a rail and clay town, with raised wood floors and rooms added over the decades. These homes call for leveling, careful transitions between the original rooms and the additions, and a floor that can live with a little unevenness. Rigid-core plank and engineered hardwood both do.
Toward Camanche, Buena Vista and the ranch roads west of town, ranchettes and manufactured homes on acreage are common. Open plans, gravel drives and hot afternoons put durability and easy cleaning first. Waterproof plank, large-format porcelain tile and solution-dyed carpet in the bedrooms are the products built for that.
Every category below is measured at your house for free, chosen in our Sutter Creek showroom or from samples we bring, and installed by our own crews.
Carpet in Ione is bedroom and hallway work, replacing the builder-grade product a 1990s house came with. We bring Shaw, Mohawk and Anderson Tuftex samples to the house so you can compare them on a warm afternoon, when the light through west-facing windows shows what a color really does.

See hardwood flooring in IoneLuxury vinyl plank suits slab construction, heat, pets and open floor plans all at once. COREtec, Karndean and Mannington Adura planks run from the front door through the great room and kitchen with no thresholds, and a waterproof core means a spilled water bowl is a wipe-up.

Quick-Step and Mohawk waterproof cores can run through the kitchen and laundry, and the hard wear layer stands up to grit off a gravel drive.
See laminate flooring in IoneTile does well on Ione's concrete slabs, in kitchens and entries as much as in showers. A 12 by 24 or larger porcelain floor stays cool underfoot in August, and we set bathroom tile over a full waterproofing system so a 1990s hall bath stays dry for the long haul.
See tile flooring in IoneMost 1990s Ione kitchens came with tile counters and grout lines that have been collecting dust for thirty years. Replace them with quartz, granite or quartzite from slabs you pick out in Sutter Creek, templated digitally at your kitchen and installed by our own crew.
See countertops in IoneCastle Oaks kitchens often have sound cabinet boxes with dated doors, and the older Main Street houses have odd wall lengths and low windows. Canyon Creek and Kemper cabinets are built to order for either room, designed in the showroom with the person who measures your kitchen.
See cabinets in IoneAn Ione kitchen remodel keeps the open 1990s footprint and upgrades cabinets, quartz counters, a tile backsplash and the floor as one job. Permits for plumbing or electrical changes go through the City of Ione inside the limits or Amador County outside, and our licensed team files them.
See kitchen remodeling in IoneTract-era Ione bathrooms often have a fiberglass tub-shower unit that is cracking or yellowing. We replace it with a tiled walk-in shower, a new vanity and a quartz top, planned as one job from the showroom, with most full bathroom remodels running about 3 to 5 weeks.

That is why we quote flooring, countertops and remodeling from a free in-home measure, in writing, with every line you are paying for spelled out.

“When they came to take out the carpet at our entry way, they found the wood was wet, they quickly realized we should let it dry prior to putting in the LVP. When it dried, they were quick to squeeze us into their schedule. They completed the install, and it is beautiful!”
