New Installations

New hardwood,
laid by hand.

Board by board, sanded and finished right in your home, not pulled off a factory line. The result is a floor that fits your space, your light, and lasts for decades.

The process

Six steps, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Free in-home estimate

    We measure, read your subfloor and your light, talk species and finish, and hand you a price on the spot — no cost, no obligation.

  2. 02

    Subfloor prep

    We level, fasten, and moisture-check the base — the unglamorous work that decides whether a floor stays flat and silent for decades.

  3. 03

    Layout & lay

    Every plank is racked for grain and color, then hand-nailed tight, row by row — the rhythm that makes a floor read as one piece.

  4. 04

    Dust-control sanding

    Vacuum-fed sanders pull the dust at the drum, so your home stays clean and the surface comes up dead-flat and ready for color.

  5. 05

    Stain to your light

    We test stain samples right on your floor, so you see the true color in your own light.

  6. 06

    Finish & hand-off

    Multiple coats of hard-wearing sealer, buffed between each, then we clean up and hand back a floor built to shrug off daily life.

Three decades, one craft

Hardwood done
the right way.

Every job carries the same promise. Honest work, the right tools, and the patience to get it right. From the first board to the final coat, we treat your floor like it's the one we'll be remembered by.

Why Russotto

The difference is in the experience.

30+ years of craft, the kind of work you can't rush or fake.

Premium quality

Every board is hand-picked for grain, tone, and backbone — only timber worth standing on for a lifetime makes the cut.

Durable & long-lasting

Sealed to shrug off three decades of footsteps, sunlight, and spills — and still look like the morning it was laid.

Expert installation

Muscle memory in every plank — laid tight, dead-level, and seamless from room to room, with a flawless final coat.

Wide range of styles

Species, stains, sheens, and patterns without end — herringbone to wide-plank, matched to the light in your space.

Restoration & Refinishing

Bring tired floors
back to life.

Under decades of scratches, sun-fade, and worn-through finish, your original hardwood is almost always still there. We sand it back, repair what's broken, and seal it new, without tearing a thing out.

What's included

A true refinish, down to bare wood.

A quick buff-and-coat only masks a tired floor. We take yours all the way back and rebuild it from the grain up. Here's what that actually means.

Dust-control sanding

Vacuum-fed sanders take the floor down to fresh wood while pulling the dust before it reaches your air.

Board repair

Cupped, split, gapped, or rotted boards are replaced and woven in so repairs vanish into the run.

Stain matched to your light

We test stains on your own floor, in your own room, then seal with durable coats built for daily life.

Restore, don't replace

Before you rip it out, let us look.

Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times over its life. Stained, scuffed, paint-spattered, water-marked — the worn floor under your feet almost always has decades left in it.

    Dust-control sanding

    Down to bare, even wood with vacuum-shrouded equipment — the dust pulled at the drum, minimal mess in your home.

  3. 03

    Repairs & fill

    Damaged boards swapped, gaps and cracks filled, the whole surface made flat, tight, and sound underfoot.

  4. 04

    Stain to taste

    Natural, warm, or rich and dark — brushed onto your own floor and lived with before a drop is committed.

  5. 05

    Seal & cure

    Multiple finish coats, buffed between each, for a hard-wearing surface built to take daily life in stride.

  6. 06

    Back to life

The Caretaker's Guide.

Now that the hard part's done and your floors are restored to better-than-new, here are a few simple ways to protect your investment for years to come. Honest guidance like this is part of our promise. Advice you can trust, with quality you can stand on.

3days

before you move furniture back onto the floors.

3weeks

before placing area rugs down, so the finish can fully cure.

01

Furniture

Lift, never drag. Pad every leg.

  • Install felt pads on all furniture legs.
  • Check the pads periodically and replace them when worn or dirty.
  • Never drag furniture across the floor.
  • Use rubber protectors under couch and bed legs, especially pieces you move often.
02

Area Rugs

Let the finish fully cure before any rug goes down.

  • Wait three weeks before laying rugs, so the finish fully cures underneath.
  • Remember that rugs can cause uneven color over time. Sunlight ages exposed wood differently than covered areas, so lift and rotate them now and then.
03

Shoes & Grit

Dirt and grit are a hardwood floor's worst enemy.

  • Avoid wearing shoes indoors whenever possible.
  • Encourage family and guests to slip them off at the door.
  • Place quality mats at every entrance to catch grit before it reaches the wood.
04

Everyday Cleaning

Regular, gentle cleaning is what makes a floor last.

  • Use a microfiber dust mop, stick broom, or cordless vacuum with soft rubber wheels.
  • Vacuum frequently, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Clean spills promptly.
  • Avoid steam mops and excess water; more on that just below.
05

Long-Term Care

Maintained well, a hardwood floor is a lifetime investment.

  • As wear begins to show, a periodic maintenance coat can often restore protection before a full sanding is needed.
  • Address wear early; it extends the life of your floor and saves money in the long run.
  • When in doubt, just call. We're always happy to take a look.
Our go-to routine

A gentle clean, the way we'd do it.

  • Mix a few drops of Dawn dish soap into a spray bottle of water.
  • Vacuum the floor, then lightly mist a small section.
  • Wipe it with a damp terrycloth mop cover, moving along the grain.
  • Keep the cloth damp, never wet. Standing water harms hardwood.

For most homes, that's the whole routine: vacuum often, damp-mop now and then, and your floors stay looking their best.

The story

Built one board at a time.

Russotto Custom Wood Floors started the way the best trades do. Hands-on, by referral, one neighbor's floor at a time. Three decades later, owner Jovan Russotto still runs every job personally, and the standard hasn't moved: a floor you'd be proud to put your name on.

We've stayed deliberately small and local. You deal with the people doing the work, not a call center, and we treat your home like it's our own, dust and all.

In our customers' words Google 5-star rated

Grateful for every word.

We don't take a single floor, or a single kind review, for granted. Most of our work still comes from neighbors passing our name along, and that trust means everything. Here's what a few of them had to say.

"Highly recommend this rock star! As the area's number one local Realtor, I recommended Jovan to so many clients after seeing his work. He completely transformed the home within a week and made the floors look brand new. I couldn't believe the before and after."

LLisa McAteer

"Jovan and his team were amazing. We had water damage and he came right to the house, gave us a quote, and scheduled right away. My floors came out amazing — better than my wife and I imagined. You won't be disappointed."

WWilliam Della Vecchia

"We had all of our hardwood floors refinished before we moved in — about 3,500 sq ft of mixed wood types, plus our huge back deck. The result is absolutely stunning. Everything now looks completely cohesive, with a smooth, beautiful finish that ties the whole house together."

Questions & answers

Good questions,
honest answers.

Everything homeowners usually ask before a floor goes in, or comes back to life. Don't see yours? Just call.

Yes, every estimate is free and in your home, with no obligation. We measure, look at your subfloor and light, talk species and finish, and give you a clear, itemized price. No charge, and no pressure to sign on the spot.
Most rooms are sanded, stained, and sealed within a few days. A whole-home refinish or new install runs longer. We'll give you a realistic schedule with your estimate — and we hold to it.
Far less than you'd expect. We use dust-control sanding equipment that pulls dust at the drum, before it reaches your air. It's not magic — no sanding is truly dust-free — but your home stays dramatically cleaner than with old-style open sanders.
Usually they can be saved. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times over its life, and even badly stained, scratched, or water-marked floors often come back beautifully. Before you pay for a tear-out, let us take a look — a refinish costs a fraction of replacement. See how restoration works.
Often, yes — we can stage the work room by room so you keep living spaces usable. Finishes do give off odor while they cure, so we'll talk through timing and ventilation with you and plan around pets and family.
We'll handle the heavy lifting on the work area and protect everything that stays. We'll ask you to clear small, fragile, and valuable items ahead of time, and we'll go over exactly what to expect before we start.
Anything from a clear, natural matte to a rich, dark stain — and every sheen in between. Because we finish on site, we sample stains on your actual floor, in your actual light, before a drop of color goes down.
You can usually walk on socked feet within a day of the final coat. We recommend waiting a bit longer before moving furniture back and laying rugs, so the finish fully cures and hardens — we'll give you exact timing for the finish we use.
