Pine Grove is about 15 minutes from our Sutter Creek showroom · about 9 miles · Ridge Road to Highway 88 · Free in-home measure · Directions to the showroom
Ridge Road starts at our front door and ends in Pine Grove, so the drive is one road: east on Ridge Road about nine miles to where it meets Highway 88. Highway 49 to Highway 88 east works too if you are coming from Jackson.
At 2,400 feet the winters bring a little snow, the summers bring pine pollen and dust, and many houses have a wood stove at the center of the plan. What goes on the floor has to handle boots, ash, dog claws and the grit that comes in off a gravel drive. We carry the products that do, and we can show you the difference in the showroom or at your house.
Counters, cabinets, tile and full kitchen and bathroom remodels are handled by the same team, from one showroom, on one estimate. Start with a free in-home measure and we will tell you what fits the house and what it costs installed.

Homes in Pine Grove
Most of Pine Grove's housing went up between the 1970s and the 1990s on lots from half an acre to five acres, spread along the Highway 88 corridor and the roads running off it toward Indian Grinding Rock State Historic Park and Volcano. Many sit on pier-and-post foundations with vented crawlspaces, which keeps the floor cool in summer and means the subfloor sees more seasonal moisture than a slab home would. Floating floors with a proper vapor barrier and rigid-core vinyl do well here. Solid hardwood needs a moisture reading first.
Cabins, both old and new, make up the second group. Many are second homes or have become full-time homes over the years, with small rooms, step-downs between additions and a fireplace or stove at the center. Tile hearths, durable carpet in the bedrooms and a single hard-surface floor through the living space are the usual answers, and we plan the transitions carefully because cabins rarely have two rooms on the same level.
A smaller set of newer custom homes on larger parcels rounds it out, often with open great rooms, big kitchens and radiant or forced-air heat. These houses take wide-plank hardwood or luxury vinyl, quartz on a long island, and cabinets with enough storage for a household that stocks up because town is a drive away.
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 is the warmest floor on a February morning at 2,400 feet, which is why it still belongs in Pine Grove bedrooms and dens. We carry solution-dyed fibers from Shaw and Anderson Tuftex that clean up after dogs and muddy kids, over a moisture-barrier pad and a dense pile that will not mat under wood-stove traffic.

Johnson engineered hardwood with a thick wear layer and a matte finish hides the fine scratches that pine needles and ash leave behind.

Quick-Step and Mohawk cores with a high wear rating stand up to gravel-drive grit, and a waterproof line lets the same floor run through the kitchen and laundry.
See laminate flooring in Pine GroveEvery wood stove needs a hearth built to the manufacturer's clearances, and tile or stone set on the right substrate is how we build them, along with the bathroom floors and showers that get the most use in a cabin. Surface Art and Emser porcelains give a slate or wood look without the maintenance real stone wants in a dusty climate.
See tile flooring in Pine GroveMany Pine Grove kitchens still carry the tile or laminate counters they were built with. Swap them for quartz or granite chosen from full slabs in Sutter Creek, templated digitally at the house, and installed by our own crew once fabrication is done.

See cabinets in Pine GroveA Pine Grove kitchen remodel often means opening a closed 1970s kitchen toward the living room where the stove is, and rerouting plumbing or electrical along the way. That work needs an Amador County permit, which our licensed team pulls, and most full kitchens run 6 to 10 weeks from contract to finished floors.
See kitchen remodeling in Pine GroveCabin bathrooms are small and were often finished with whatever was cheap at the time, so a Pine Grove bathroom remodel is usually a full reset: tiled shower with proper waterproofing, new vanity and counter, and a floor that handles wet feet. Most full bathroom remodels run 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.

“If you're questioning going with Lowe's or Home Depot, rather than a local company because of the cost, do your homework. Barrons was highly competitive with Lowe's and provided much better service. A shout out to our installer Dave who did an amazing job and was timely and professional.”
