Custom Parquet done the right way.
Custom parquet installation with precise pattern work, layout planning, and clean on-site fitting.
Overview
The work, in context.
Parquet is pattern work, and pattern work lives or dies by the layout lines. Before any board is glued or nailed, we set the controlling centerlines of the room, dry-fit the pattern, and verify that the geometry holds at doorways, hearths, and transitions. Chevron and herringbone get most of the attention, but Versailles panels, basket weave, and custom borders are all regular requests — especially in Spanish Revival, Tudor, and Mediterranean-style Los Angeles homes where the original floors set the tone for the whole house.
Why it matters
Pattern floors are unforgiving. A sixteenth-of-an-inch drift across a twenty-foot run is visible, and it compounds at every border. Most of the cost in a parquet install is in the layout and fitting, not the wood itself. We price and plan accordingly so the finished floor reads as a single continuous pattern rather than a series of compromises.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is parquet only for historic or high-end homes?
No. It works especially well in character homes, but it can also bring structure and visual interest to newer spaces when the layout is handled carefully.
Can you match or repair an existing parquet floor?
Often yes. We assess the species, pattern, wear level, and board dimensions first, then recommend either repair, partial replacement, or a full rebuild.
How long does a parquet floor take to install?
Parquet runs roughly two to three times longer than straight-laid hardwood of the same square footage because of the layout and fitting work. A typical room-sized chevron or herringbone project takes a week or more once materials have acclimated.
