Placerville is about 45 minutes from our Sutter Creek showroom · about 32 miles · Highway 49 to Highway 50 · Free in-home measure · Directions to the showroom

From 100 Ridge Rd we take Highway 49 north through Amador City, Drytown and Plymouth, past El Dorado and Diamond Springs, and into Placerville where Highway 49 meets Highway 50. The drive is about 32 miles and 45 minutes.

Placerville homes range from Gold Rush cottages above Main Street to hillside ranch homes off Broadway and cabins toward Camino. Each one asks something different of a floor. The measure is where we look at your subfloor, transitions, stairs and light, then bring the samples that fit the house.

The floors come from one place: Mohawk, Shaw and Karastan carpet, Johnson hardwood, COREtec and Karndean plank, Quick-Step laminate and porcelain from Surface Art and MSI, with a crew that installs all of it. If you want to see the full range, the showroom in Sutter Creek is a 45-minute drive down Highway 49. Counters, cabinets and kitchen and bath remodels have their own Placerville pages.

Homes in Placerville

Homes in Placerville

Downtown Placerville, Cedar Ravine and the streets above Main Street hold some of the oldest housing in El Dorado County. Victorians and miners' cottages from the 1850s through the 1920s sit on stone and brick foundations with crawlspaces, and their floors are rarely flat. That decides the product. Rigid-core luxury vinyl plank and laminate float over a leveled subfloor and tolerate seasonal movement, while solid hardwood wants a flat, dry, nailed substrate and often needs a day of prep first.

Broadway, Cold Springs Road and the hills toward Gold Hill and Camino are where the 1960s through 1990s ranch homes and split-levels are. These have sound plywood subfloors, and many still have original oak under the carpet. Refinishing that oak, running wood-look plank through the main living area, and replacing a tile counter with quartz all fit these houses well.

Up toward Camino and Apple Hill and out Highway 50 toward Pollock Pines, the housing turns to cabins, second homes and larger custom houses on acreage. Wood stoves, dogs, snow boots and pine pollen shape those choices: thick wear layers on plank, cleanable porcelain at the entry, and solution-dyed carpet in the bedrooms.

What fits Placerville homes

  • ✓Luxury vinyl plank Waterproof, forgiving of a leveled Gold Rush-era subfloor, and able to run from the mud room through the kitchen in one piece.
  • ✓Hardwood flooring Original oak under the carpet in a 1960s to 1980s Placerville ranch home can be refinished or matched with new engineered planks.
  • ✓Carpet Upstairs bedrooms in the two-story homes off Broadway are quieter with a plush or frieze carpet over a good pad.
  • ✓Tile and stone Older hall baths with cast-iron tubs are natural tub-to-shower conversions, and porcelain plank tile handles cabin dust.

Every floor 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 Placerville

Bedrooms in Placerville's two-story homes are where carpet belongs, because it quiets an upstairs floor better than any hard surface. We bring plush, frieze and pattern samples from Mohawk, Shaw and Anderson Tuftex to your house so you can see them against your paint and your light.

Hardwood flooring in Placerville

A 1960s or 1970s house off Broadway or Cold Springs Road often has red oak hiding under the carpet. We refinish original floors and match new engineered or solid hardwood from Johnson into them, including the transitions between old and new.

Luxury vinyl plank in Placerville

Placerville's older houses bring crawlspace moisture and floors that are not perfectly flat, and rigid-core luxury vinyl plank handles both. We install COREtec, Karndean and Mannington plank over a leveled subfloor so it stays flat through summer heat and winter damp.

Laminate flooring in Placerville

A 1980s ranch home with a whole-house floor to replace is where laminate makes the budget work, and today's waterproof cores let it run through the kitchen and laundry room. We carry Quick-Step and Mohawk lines built for dogs, boots and gravel-driveway grit.

Tile and stone in Placerville

Placerville bathrooms and entries are tile work, from a curbless shower pan to a wood-look porcelain plank floor that reads warm and cleans up with a mop. We set every shower on a full waterproofing system, which matters in older houses where the framing has moved.

Custom area rugs in Placerville

Any carpet on the Sutter Creek showroom wall can be cut to size and bound into a rug or stair runner for a Placerville home. Bring the room's measurements, or we take them at the free in-home measure.

What homeowners say

Reviews from Gold Country homeowners

“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!”

Placerville FAQs

Do you come to Placerville from Sutter Creek?
Yes. Placerville is about 45 minutes from our showroom on Highway 49, and we schedule measures, deliveries and installs there like any other town we serve. Diamond Springs, El Dorado and Camino are covered too.
Is the in-home measure free in Placerville?
It is. We measure, look at the subfloor and transitions, bring samples that fit the house, and leave you a written estimate. There is no travel charge for the measure in El Dorado County.
Do I need a permit for new flooring or countertops in Placerville?
Replacing flooring or countertops does not require a building permit. Kitchen and bathroom remodels that move plumbing or electrical do, through the City of Placerville for addresses inside city limits or El Dorado County Building Services for the unincorporated areas around town. We handle that as part of the remodel.
Can I see slabs and full sample boards without driving to Sutter Creek?
Flooring samples come to you at the measure. Countertop slabs are best seen in person in our Sutter Creek showroom, a 45-minute drive down Highway 49 through Plymouth, and we can also bring quartz samples to the house and send photos of specific slabs.
Can you work on the older houses downtown and around Cedar Ravine?
Yes. Those homes need a look at the crawlspace, some leveling, and a floor that tolerates seasonal movement, which is why rigid-core plank or engineered hardwood is often the right call over solid wood. The measure tells us which, and the prep goes into the written estimate.
