Materials & Sustainability
We believe hardwood floors should be beautiful, durable, and environmentally responsible. Our approach prioritizes sustainable sourcing and healthier material options, including resalvaged and locally milled wood wherever possible. Much of our work features European white oak sourced from responsibly managed forests, along with engineered alternatives that optimize raw material use without sacrificing performance. With approximately 90% of our products being low-VOC or eco-focused, we support better indoor air quality and long-lasting finishes. Currently, around 20% of our materials are locally sourced, and we continue expanding that commitment as more responsible suppliers emerge in the region.
Our team
Our team is built on decades of experience working throughout the Oregon Coast and Portland metro region, giving us a deep understanding of the environments, building styles, and installation considerations unique to each. Whether collaborating with design and construction teams in the city or working directly with homeowners along the coast, we approach every project with craftsmanship, clear communication, and pride in our work.
