Grey-washed Bamboo Flooring in Land Park

Our customer in Land Park had a clear vision of what she wanted in her work-out room. We custom made these curved stair-nosings to match the engineered bamboo.
This is a natural bamboo that we installed on the ceiling. The cabinets in the room are also natural bamboo.

These stairs lead up to the gym.
We are proud of the work that our hardwood installers did on this home. We were able to meet the homeowners expectations and vision of the room.
The strip on the floor to the right in the photo is a light strip. There are up-light installed with smooth rocks filling the area around the lights.

The white kitchen cabinets look stunning with the new hardwood floor. This floor selection is a distressed hand-scraped hardwood. The color is Barley.
The hardwood also compliments the granite countertops.
We installed this product throughout the front part of the home: living room, family room, kitchen and nook. We appreciate our customers in Elk Grove! Thank you for your continued support and patronage!

Hardwood Expertise You Can Trust!

This is a 3/4" thick, 8" wide plank, solid pre-finished hickory. The wood is reclaimed and laminated together to reduce cupping problems. The look is unique and grand.
We installed the upstairs loft, hallway, and master bedroom. The customer is very happy with the look of this product and the installation. They are looking to give their home a "mountain resort" feel. They also installed a stone fire place in the master bedroom and stone flooring. The stone combined with this 8" plank is both rich and warm looking.
Andy and Guillermo. Andy runs the hardwood crew and has worked for Simas Floor and Design Company for over 25 years. He is a hardwood expert and we're fortunate to have such a knowledgeable, experienced and long-term employee. Guillermo installs hardwood and window blinds for Simas. He takes pride in performing clean and precise work.
The loft after the original carpet was tore out. This room was level enough, but the master bedroom had peaks and valleys in the sub-floor. We were able to sand some of the plywood and build up other areas in order to make it work. We never know what we might run into when we estimate a floor that is covered by old flooring. Choosing a long-term and solid company like Simas Floor and Design is the best way to ensure that you will have professionals working in your home who can solve challenges that may arise.

DuChateau Hardwood Collection

We've doubled our showroom space for DuChateau Hardwood Collection. The Chateau Collection is designed to reflect the style found in Europe centuries ago.

The Chateau Collection recreates the same time worn look that showcases the character and longevity of a hardwood floor with natural changing grain patterns exemplifying true vintage artistic design.

The ordinary free forming elements of natural wood are what give the Chateau Collection floors its unique character and exception beauty.

KSSJ Concert Series - Rick Braun, Jonathan Butler and Richard Elliot

Rick Braun made an entrance from the back and through the audience. The other musicians called him "Skinny Rick" He was fun to watch and hear!
Richard Elliot has some "interesting" moves when he plays! Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of Jonathan Butler! I don't know why! He was my favorite! I think when he was on stage I enjoyed watching and listening so much that I forgot to snap a photo!

Gaby and John Chandler with my husband Andrea Carli. John and Gaby own Allstate Insurance offices in and around Sacramento. They also are owners of Le Rivage Hotel, the most beautiful hotel in Sacramento. It's on the river located close to the downtown area off I-5. There's a Scott's Seafood Restaurant on location with a beautiful view of the River and the luxurious Lale Spa located inside the hotel. If you want to do fabulous in Sacramento--Le Rivage is the place to be.


Our sales table at the concert. We had a great location this time near where the CD's were being sold. We featured some of the up and coming interior colors that Jan Madison put together for our new retail showroom displays.

Jan Madison, our retail showroom manager and her husband Ron Madison.

Gaby Chandler, me and Jan Madison. By the way, we're installing a new Shaw hardwood floor in Gaby's home this week. It's an 8 inch wide plank, 3/4" solid hickory, handscraped. I'll post photos of this job next week so check back to see!

Out and About

Simas Floor and Design Company is sponsoring the KSSJ Concert Series. The first 2009 concert was on May 15--which was the first day of the Auburn Home Show. We've been busy! Simas is sponsoring the red carpet entry area and we also have a table showcasing our products and services. Hope you can make it to some of the concerts--it's a fun night out!
The concert was called Guitars & Saxes featuring Euge Groove, Jeff Lober, Jeff Golub & Jessy J.

Here I am with Phil Cowan at our table at the KSSJ Jazz Concert. Phil is a blast to work with--so glad that I've had the opportunity!


This is our booth at the Auburn Home Show on May 15-17. Do you think there's enough signage? It was a hot weekend! We met a lot of nice people and were able to give them straight forward information about their flooring questions.
