The Main Street National Register district and the blocks climbing away from it hold Victorians and miners' cottages built between the 1850s and the 1910s. Knight Foundry and the Monteverde Store Museum are the public face of that era. Inside the houses, pier-and-post foundations have settled for a century, so floors slope toward the creek and dip between joists. We check the subfloor at the measure and put leveling compound or a plywood overlay in the estimate before the new floor goes down.
The 1970s through 1990s brought ranch homes and split-levels up the hills along Ridge Road and down toward Sutter Hill. These have plywood subfloors, standard door heights and often original oak or old carpet that comes up cleanly. Wood-look luxury vinyl or laminate through the main level, new carpet in the bedrooms and a quartz counter in a kitchen from that era are straightforward projects for our crew.
Above town and out toward Amador City there are newer custom homes with open plans, large great rooms and a lot of glass. Wide-plank engineered hardwood or rigid-core vinyl runs through those living areas in one continuous surface, and a long island can carry a single quartz or quartzite slab chosen in the showroom.
