Floorcoverings of Marin County, Inc.

We had a great experience with Michel Pelton and his team while converting the floors in two rooms in our home to hardwood and carpet, respectively. During our initial meeting, Michel took all the measurements and comprehensively explained the process that we could anticipate. We made our product selections, the orders were placed and his installation crew went to work. We recommend Michel (his many years of industry experience benefitted us greatly) and his team without reservation.

When we first met Michel, he was very professional, personable, trustworthy and knowledgeable. He was not pushy and he gave us numerous options with different quotes. Compared to the other quotes we received, his was considerable less expensive. However, the quality was even better-- the wood and the work he did was exceptional. We know that our floor will last for a very long time. He gave us tips on how to clean the wood. We highly recommend him if you are planning to update your flooring. Our friends and family are praising the floor that he did.

Very impressed with every aspect of our dealings with this company. Michel is knowledgeable and helpful but not pushy; easy to work with. Our 2 installers were skilled workmen who did a terrific job in all respects, the new cork plank flooring looks gorgeous. We are happy to recommend this locally-owned firm to you.

I had worked with another flooring company to install a new engineered walnut floor. There were problems with the installation and finish but the vendor refused to return and fix the issues. Then I met Michel. He was so knowledgeable and supportive. He understood what I needed and worked with me to get to get the job completed right! People say that my floors look like furniture- stunning. The WOCA oil finish was new to me but having lived with polyurethane I knew I needed a different result. With two active dogs and lots of sunlight I wanted a matt finish so small scratches would not be so obvious and glaring. The finish is perfect. Jorge, Michel's finisher, is a delight to work with. I highly recommend Michel and his team.

After researching many hardwood floor vendors to replacement our damaged teak parquet floor, we decided to work with Floor Coverings of Marin. The owner Michel we found to be a passionate wood enthusiast, with a wealth of knowledge and skill. After consulting with him several times he knew what we wanted to achieve and he and his team delivered. We have a California Coastal home with high ceilings and an open floor plan with and views of the bay. Originally we selected a Montage Laurel Milano engineering hardwood floor to compliment our modern kitchen and accompanying living space renovation. When the wood arrived there was a problem with the product; the edges were discolored which would require refinishing them before installation. The distributor/manufacturer suggested that we re-stain the damaged area to make them look whiter and match the rest of the boards, which seemed ridiculous request for a new product. We loved the white wash finish of the wood, and did not want to select another brand so Michel/Floor Coverings of Marin called additional distributors to see if we could find an undamaged batch. He was able to find additional product, but after asking them to do quality check the new boards before shipping them it was found they too were damaged. After further effort and investigation we were informed that the manufacturer had decided to recall all existing stock of white wash Montage Laurel Milano. It was very disappointing information to say the least after all the effort made. At this point we had become a bit desperate since the delay in having our hardwood floors in place could potentially delay the completion of our entire renovation. Michel/Floor Coverings of Marin jumped into action, offering variety of solutions to keep the project on track. One of his ideas (all of which maintained the quality we required) suggested that we purchase raw hardwood and have his team finish the solid wood boards by hand to match the finish of the engineered wood we had originally selected. He diligently contacted all of his distributors and was able to acquire the needed square footage required for our space. And just like that from disaster to dream home, we now have a brand new white wash hardwood floor. The crew's work from start to finish was outstanding; the floor is incredibly smooth and feels as if you are walking on silk. We now prefer to walk barefoot on our hardwood floor to enjoy the smooth warm finish. Michel/Floor Coverings of Marin employees are clearly gifted craftsman. They are extremely detailed and have understood the nuances of how woods work. Their quest for perfection are clear to see in the final results. We are extremely happy with our floor and thoroughly enjoying the beauty it was added to our home. We feel so fortunate/thankful we were able to work with Michel/Floor Coverings of Marin and his team. We can not wait for them to replace our carpet downstairs with hardwood floor for the second phase renovation. Thank you Michel, for coming to our rescue with your passion and creativity. You are without a doubt a passionate craftsman and a man of unquestionable professionalism and integrity. We look forward to working with you again.

Michelle was very helpful in providing the material I needed at the best price in town. He also was able to expedite the material and was all around very knowledgeable & helpful with our flooring purchase.

Michel the owner of Floorcoverings of Marin County was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I had my white oak floors stripped of polyurethane and finished with WOCA oil. Michel is one of the few offering this product and I am extremely pleased with the result. Everyone thinks i have new floors and just loves the natural appearing finish. His team was excellent and a pleasure to work with. I will be going to Michel and Floorcoverings of Marin County for any future flooring needs.

I am a general contractor who does both small and large projects in the East Bay, including a recent installation of Kahrs prefinished flooring. Upon calling all my usual suppliers, I had trouble finding the particular style my clients wanted…which lead me to Michel. He was quick to respond to my call, very familiar with the many lines of Kahrs, and quick to turn around a quote and, of course, the order and delivery. I will definitely be calling him back.

A beautiful floor A pleasure to work with this company, our bamboo floor is beautiful and well priced compared to other Marin flooring companies. Scheduling was easy, the workers were respectful, cleaned up after themselves and were very professional. I recommend this company to anybody who needs a new floor, extremely well done and for a reasonable price!
