Hardwood Flooring for San Rafael & Marin County Homeowners
Why pay the "Marin Markup"? Drive south to San Carlos and save thousands on the Bay Area’s largest selection of premium hardwood flooring.
If you are shopping for hardwood flooring in San Rafael, you’ve likely noticed the high boutique prices. At Whole Wood, we do things differently. We combine a massive designer showroom with a high-volume warehouse. By cutting out the high overhead of Marin retail spaces, we provide San Rafael residents with wholesale pricing on the world’s finest wood species.
The Whole Wood Advantage: Better Selection, Lower Prices
Most flooring stores in Marin County have limited samples and long lead times. Because of our scale, we offer benefits that local San Rafael showrooms simply can’t match:
- Wholesale Pricing: We meet or beat any local price.
- Massive In-Stock Inventory: Don't wait weeks for shipping. Buy today, install this week.
- Huge Showroom: See large-scale displays of European Oak, Walnut, Hickory, and more.
- Contractor Network: We can connect you with the best installers serving the North Bay.
Premium Brands for San Rafael’s Unique Homes
From the mid-century modern aesthetics in Terra Linda to the luxury estates in Peacock Gap, we stock the specific styles that Marin designers crave.
Riva Floors: European Excellence
We are a leading supplier of Riva Floors -- the gold standard for modern Marin families. These floors are celebrated for their sustainability and "European Excellence" designs. We typically stock 5 to 6 signature Riva styles (RivaMax, RivaMetro, etc.) ready for immediate pickup or delivery to San Rafael.
Wide Plank White Oak
A favorite for North Bay renovations, our White Oak collection features the wide-plank, light-wire-brushed finishes that define modern California style.
Is the Drive from San Rafael to San Carlos Worth It?
It’s roughly a 45-minute drive from downtown San Rafael, but for a full-home flooring project, that drive can save you $2,000 to $5,000 or more. We invite you to bring your quotes from Marin flooring boutiques. Our specialists will help you find a superior product at a significantly lower price point. Plus, we offer flexible storage—if your San Rafael job site isn't ready, we can hold your wood in our climate-controlled warehouse for up to a year.
Do you deliver hardwood flooring to San Rafael and Marin County?
Yes! We regularly deliver to San Rafael, Novato, Mill Valley, and Tiburon. Our team ensures your flooring is delivered safely to your job site, ready for acclimation and installation.
Can you match a price I received from a Marin flooring store?
Absolutely. Whole Wood is committed to having the best prices in the Bay Area. Show us your quote, and we will do our best to meet or beat it with a comparable or superior product.
Do I need an appointment to visit the showroom?
No appointment is necessary. Our San Carlos showroom and warehouse are open Monday through Saturday. We encourage San Rafael residents to bring their floor plans and paint swatches to help our experts find the perfect match.
What is the best flooring for the Marin climate?
Given the varied humidity in Marin—from the fog of the coast to the heat of San Rafael—we often recommend Engineered Hardwood. It provides the same look and feel as solid wood but offers superior stability against expansion and contraction.
