Flooring Contractor Serving Novato
Novato is part of Marin County, and it's one of the communities Renaissance Floors regularly works in. We're based in Roseville, CA and serve homeowners across Greater Sacramento & Northern California— from small refinishing jobs to full home installs. Every project starts with an honest look at your subfloor and your goals, followed by a clear, no-pressure estimate. There's no dispatched sales team and no guesswork: you work directly with the crew doing the installation, backed by our CSLB C-15 license and a workmanship warranty on every job.
Marin's older homes and coastal-influenced humidity make moisture management and the right product choice especially important. Engineered wood and quality LVP are dependable picks, and original hardwood often refinishes beautifully.

What Floors in Novato Have to Contend With
Conditions in Novato
Novato sits at about 11 feet in Marin County. Hourly outdoor readings at Gnoss Field Airport, just north of Novato, averaged 70.8% relative humidity in July across 2022-2024, with the driest month (June, 67.5%) still well above the summer figures recorded in the Sierra. Humidity stays in a narrow band year-round, ranging only from about 68% to 91%.
Novato Homes We Work In
ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates put 58.6% of Novato's 20,982 housing units in the 1950-1979 range, with the 1970s alone at 27.3%. Only 2.5% predates 1940 — the newest stock of the four Marin markets covered here. The City's own Housing Element characterizes Novato as having 'a relatively new housing stock,' with the 1970s the single largest decade of construction. Novato's 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s homes tend to bring their own surprises once the old floor comes up — subfloor thickness, previous patches, and height differences at doorways. We plan transitions and thresholds around what's actually under there rather than around a nominal drawing.

Planning Around Novato
Conditions specific to Novato that shape an installation plan:
- NWFA Wood Flooring Installation Guidelines define normal living conditions as 30-50% relative humidity at 60-80°F and direct that this range be maintained year-round.
- The USDA Forest Products Laboratory Wood Handbook directs that wood be installed at the moisture content it will experience in service to minimize post-installation dimensional change, and lists 8% average moisture content (6-10% for individual pieces) for interior flooring across most of the United States.
