Sunnyside Flooring

Sunnyside sits on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe just south of Tahoe City along West Lake Boulevard (Highway 89), part of the unincorporated Placer County census area officially designated Sunnyside–Tahoe City. It's a quieter, tighter-knit lakefront stretch than downtown Tahoe City — home to the well-known Sunnyside Marina and the lakefront Sunnyside Restaurant & Lodge, a Tahoe landmark dating to a 1908 lakeside summer home — surrounded by a mix of classic West Shore cabins and remodeled lakefront and near-lakefront homes. Because Sunnyside is unincorporated, building permits and inspections run through Placer County Building Services, which maintains a dedicated Tahoe office at 775 North Lake Boulevard in nearby Tahoe City. Water, sewer, and parks service throughout Sunnyside comes from the Tahoe City Public Utility District, whose service area runs along the West Shore from Tahoe City south past Sunnyside toward Blackwood Creek.

Near the water, Sunnyside sits close to lake level — roughly 6,225 feet — with the surrounding hillside terrain climbing from there. The community's housing stock reflects the West Shore's layered development history: older lakeside cabins from the resort era sit alongside more recently remodeled and custom-built homes, many oriented to take advantage of the lake and mountain views the West Shore is known for.

The West Shore's climate brings heavy winter snowpack, sustained sub-freezing stretches, a fast spring thaw, and a dry summer — a wider humidity swing across the year than valley-elevation homes see, compounded in Sunnyside by direct lake-adjacent moisture near the water. That combination is why engineered wide-plank white oak, rather than solid hardwood, is the standard recommendation here: its layered core resists the cupping, crowning, and gapping solid wood is prone to at this elevation, and it's compatible with the radiant floor heat found in many Sunnyside remodels.

Renaissance Floors is a licensed California flooring contractor (CSLB C-15 #1060673) based in Roseville, serving Sunnyside and the broader West Shore/North Shore region with custom engineered and solid hardwood — wide-plank white oak, character-grade finishes for historic cabins, and radiant-compatible installations for lakefront remodels. Owner Alex brings 15+ years of experience, and every Sunnyside project begins with a free, on-site estimate that accounts for the home's age, elevation, and lakefront moisture conditions.
