He stands by his work and is very reliable and such a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend Dave and would definitely use him again! **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Hi there, thank you for the great review! I appreciate the support and hope you'll give me a call if you have another project in the work. ### All 29 reviews **★★★★★ — HU-264706426, April 2026** > David and team were excellent! They were knowledgeable, transparent, and competitive in the bidding process and they got the job done very well and very quickly. Would highly recommend. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with David and the team! It's wonderful to hear that you found the process transparent and efficient, and that you were pleased with the outcome. Your recommendation is truly appreciated. **★★★★★ — Ray B., Oct. 2025** > Dave and crew were wonderful to work with. Had vinyl plank installed in a downstairs room, staircase carpeted and hardwood installed everywhere upstairs to match the living room and kitchen's original hardwood. Original hardwood was refinished to match new hardwood. Price was very fair and project was completed sooner than expected. Communication from Dave and crew was outstanding throughout the process. We would not hesitate to work with Sunshine again! **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Ray! We’re so glad to hear you’re happy with the new flooring and refinishing work. Dave and the crew take great pride in their craftsmanship, and your kind words mean a lot to them. We really appreciate your trust in Sunshine and look forward to working with you again on future projects! **★★★★★ — Boog Bookey, Nov. 2024** > I have been telling friends that working with David/Sunshine Flooring was the easiest, smoothest, most efficient, high quality construction project I have ever done! I would recommend them to anyone. Communications were clear and expedient, job completed is excellent. I had a mold /water issue and felt insurance hadn't allotted enough money to redo the floors. I was planning to do the installation myself as I had with the old floors but called > Sunshine to get a bid and as soon as I met David, I could feel I was in the right hands AND his bid was just about what the insurance was giving me! **★★★★★ — Nancy Lee, April 2024** > Sunshine did a great job refinishing our hardwood floors, going from a dark ebony stain to a natural stain that lightened up the whole house. Dave was a pleasure to work with. Communication was clear. I would definitely work with Sunshine again. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thank you it was nice working with you guys and glad you love the new floors. **★★★★★ — Amy Ingram, Jan. 2024** > David and the Sunshine Flooring team did a great job replacing the flooring throughout my home. David is very knowledgeable and experienced, and he is also very communicative and responds quickly to questions. He was very helpful to me in selecting the type, color, and quality of flooring for my home. His team did a great job with the installation and got the job done on time. The floors look great and I am so happy! I highly recommend David and Sunshine Flooring. **★★★★★ — Rich, Sept. 2023** > Dave and his team from Sunshine Flooring did an outstanding job for us in our home in Southern Marin. We wanted to replace carpet in our master bedroom and hallway with hardwood that matched our floors in other parts of our home. Dave found a precise match for the wood, installed the material with an undercut of our baseboards and navigated some tight angles and transitions. The project was completed on time and on budget with outstanding results! **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thanks for your post we appreciate your business and please don't hesitate to call for anything you need in the future. **★★★★★ — Cynthia Bradley, Sept. 2023** > Sunshine Flooring was fantastic from start to finish. David arrived on the day I called and walked us through the estimate. We received an estimate within couple of days and the work was scheduled according to our convenience. They arranged for the movers who were wonderful, cheerful, lots of fun. The floor crew was incredible. So professional and nice and efficient. They really were experts. We are truly delighted with the work Sunshine provided. **★★★★★ — Wayne Wechsler, Sept. 2023** > Sunshine came in and gave us a brand new floor in just 5 days. > They even worked over the 4th of July holiday to get it done. > We could not be happier with the floor or the installation. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thanks Wayne it was pleasure doing with business with you & we are so happy you love your floors! **★★★★★ — stevebyunsf, March 2023** > Great job! I recently had Dave install some laminate floors in my office and everything turned out fantastic. Dave was super easy to work with and he completed on the schedule he said he would. Everyone that's seen the work has commented on how well they it looks. **★★★★★ — HU-134048261, Dec. 2022** > Thank you Sunshine Flooring, to the people I’ve met and talked to, David, Katie, David’s Dad, those who did the installation and design. > > The floors are gorgeous, fresh, and lighten the ambience of the entire house. They will help guide me with my future design decisions! You managed the entire project long distance, from San Diego, to Marin County. Fine detail with overall great perspective with the placement of the floor. > > Thanks for always answering my questions via phone, email, or text promptly and concisely along with some humor, highly unusual during these days of construction craziness. > > You are an impressive family business! > Thanks, Julie **★★★★★ — Chad Donohue, Sept. 2022** > The Sunshine team did a great job for me, clean, nest and efficient. On time and thorough. The refinished floor was tip top. **★★★★★ — HU-542782387, Dec. 2021** > Dave was communicative and easy to work with during the planning stages. The installation team was fastidious and detailed. I could not be happier with the quality of the work. **★★★★★ — HU-443958561, July 2021** > Sunshine Flooring did a professional job. They helped me select the right type of flooring from the myriad of choices available. Their customer service was excellent. The workers were respectful, polite and left the job site clean and tidy at the end of each work day. They answered my questions and collaborated with me over the other projects I was undertaking at the same time. They explained what they were doing and consulted me whenever there were choices to be made. I love my new floors. I would highly recommend Sunshine Flooring. **★★★★★ — Barbara Kosnar, May 2021** > Sunshine refinished my vintage 1960's maple floor. It now looks truly beautiful. The crew worked diligently all day, every day, to get it done in the least possible time, and they paid attention to many details -- scratches, gouges, nail heads, etc. They were neat and clean and there was no damage at all to my house. They sealed off the kitchen and when they were done there was very little dust. David, the owner, was prompt at responding to my request for a proposal and scheduling the work. He was very honest and straightforward about what to expect -- it is a big, disruptive job, there is no doubt about it! But worth the disruption. **★★★★★ — Jason Wong, March 2021** > I hired Sunshine Flooring to replace my cherrywood staircase. This included building and installing a skirt board base as well as the stairs. The original contractor that I hired did a horrible job building my staircase and I was not sure if I could find a company who could replace my stairs to match the color of my hard wood floors. I read many reviews about the excellent work of Sunshine Floors so I decided to take a chance and hire them. Owner David Gilbert impressed my wife and I immediately upon meeting him. He has exceptional knowledge of hardwood flooring and gave us the confidence that they could do the job right. Dave and his crew (Chino/Lorenzo) did an amazing job. Their attention to detail, quality work product, cleanliness and expert craftsmanship is top notch. The staircase and skirt board they built for me was perfect. The two-tone stair treads and skirt board was skillfully and artfully cut and installed. The color matched seamlessly with my original flooring. My wife and I could not have imagined a more beautifully built staircase. They are one of best contractors that I have ever hired. If you want to hire the best, call Sunshine Flooring and ask for David Gilbert. They will impress you. I am a very picky customer with extreme OCD so many contractors do not impress me. Sunshine did! Professionalism, reliability and expert craftsmanship is hard to find. Sunshine Flooring is the best! **★★★★★ — Kelly Brown, July 2020** > Dave and his team did an amazing job installing our wood floors when we moved into our home five years ago so when our dishwasher leaked and our floors were damaged we were pretty bummed. After a quick call to Dave, he assured us they could patch the damaged floors and make it look as good as new. Once the water damage was cleaned and the dishwasher repaired, Dave's team arrived as soon as the floors were in to patch up the floor. > > They did a great job, were extremely professional and the team wore masks and kept a social distance from our family (including our 3 young kids) the whole time. The kitchen floor now looks as good as new. > > I'd highly recommend Sunshine Flooring for any project. They are professional, do excellent work, and are overall a joy to work with. **★★★★★ — HU-316469638, May 2020** > We had luxury vinyl planks installed throughout our 1700sqft house. They look great. We had many questions going into and during the project. David was very responsive and helpful. They price was very fair compared to some other bids we got. **★★★★★ — MARK ADAM, April 2020** > We had the pleasure of working with Dave to finish our front deck that I did a terrible job of sanding and weatherproofing a couple years ago. His team did an amazing job and our deck is so nice I almost don't want visitors to walk on it. Would highly recommend Sunshine Flooring for any job, inside or out. **★★★★★ — Ryan Brumley, July 2019** > Dave and his crew were great to work with. Dave worked with us to pick the flooring we were looking for at a reasonable price. The European White Oak is beautiful and durable! His flooring guys worked quickly and efficiently, the whole process was better than we hoped for. **★★★★★ — Mike Taylor, July 2019** > Sunshine was great. Dave was super responsive, his team was fantastic, quick, clean and polite. We have a small house with original floors that were in OK shape. They delivered exactly what we asked - great floors in five days. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone in the area. **★★★★★ — Linda Aquilino, July 2019** > I worked with David Gilbert, he was great. The estimate was reasonable and the employees were very professional. I have a very difficult sunken seating area in my living room that I wanted to have hardwood flooring installed. Sunshine Flooring was the only company I called that said they could install the flooring there. They did a beautiful job and I would recommend them to anyone. **★★★★ — User, Dec. 2018** > The hardwood planks were installed well. After pointing out that the staining was not to my expectations, Dave refinished the entire floor. I budgeted the time to complete the project with Sunshine fully aware of my goals. The job completion slipped out over one week. So after some initial hiccups, I am pleased. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Gordon, we're glad you're enjoying the new floors. Thanks for choosing Sunshine Flooring. **★★★★★ — David Lam, Dec. 2018** > These guys were amazing. Came in and did the job beautifully. We were going to refinish our floors but David suggested that we would get more out of going with a luxury vinyl. We couldn't be happier with the final product. They worked with us completely and finished weeks before our initial deadline! Thanks Sunshine flooring. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thanks for taking the time to review your recent experience with us, David. Please feel free to give us a call if there is anything else we can assist you with! **★★★★★ — Maureen Pudlo, Dec. 2018** > We were very happy with Sunshine Floors. This was the second time that they did work for us, and we were very happy both times. We were having flooring matched, and they did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Hi Maureen, thank you for the generous review. We are glad that you had such a good experience with us, and we appreciate the kind recommendations on your behalf. **★★★★★ — Lita Collins, Dec. 2018** > I am a Realtor and have referred several clients to David at Sunshine Flooring. They have all had beautiful work done and were very happy. When I'm ready to redo the floors in my own home I'll call Sunshine Floors and nobody else. Honest and efficient guys! **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Lita, thank you for taking the time to share your awesome review with us! We are glad that you had such a good experience with us, and we hope we can continue our business with you again in the future. **★★★★★ — HU-536996086, Dec. 2018** > I had a large flooring and carpet removal job and felt very overwhelmed about what route to take and what was best for the space. David was very helpful and professional and respectful of my budget and gave me excellent suggestions on how to tackle the project and what flooring to choose. Everything was completed in a timely manner and my floors look incredible! > I’m very happy with the results and I’d highly recommend Sunshine Flooring to my friends and family. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Thank you for choosing Sunshine Flooring! Your review and recommendation are truly appreciated, and please don't hesitate to give us a call in the future. **★★★★★ — sunil agarwal, Dec. 2018** > Dear All > > I have used Sunshine flooring now several times. Most recently they redid all of our floors at our house. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dave and his company. They are thoughtful and professional with great service at an affordable price. If you are thinking of any flooring work I promise you you cannot do better than Sunshine. I have used many contractors over the years and they are simply the best I have worked with. **Comment from Sunshine Flooring:** > Sunil, it's always a pleasure working with you. Thank you for the exceptional review. **★★★★★ — Andrew Hoffman, Jan. 2017** > Dave and his team did an excellent job for us. His great service started with a detailed walk-through of flooring options in San Rafael at the Sunshine office. We opted to match and extend our current floors instead of replacing our floors. > > Sunshine was the only company able to find a match to our current floors, since we have floors with an antique width from the 1940s. Even so, they had to do a fair amount of custom work on our floors including custom ripping some of the boards to a manual width. > > The work was all done very well, as well as on time and on budget. We love our new floors. Dave has high integrity, as well as being personable and friendly. I heartily recommend him. ## Selected projects - [Refinish your wood floors to look like new](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refinish-your-wood-floors-to-look-like-new-pj-vj~5827274) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 2 - [Dress up your kitchen with new floors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dress-up-your-kitchen-with-new-floors-pj-vj~5791361) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 3 - [Dark hardwood Floors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dark-hardwood-floors-pj-vj~5952875) - Location: Mill Valley, CA - Photos: 2 - [Pre Finished Engineered Flooring Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pre-finished-engineered-flooring-projects-pj-vj~5472303) - Location: Larkspur, CA - Photos: 25 - [Dress up your stairs](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dress-up-your-stairs-pj-vj~5826933) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 6 - [Refinished floors give your home a new look](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/refinished-floors-give-your-home-a-new-look-pj-vj~5478732) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 3 - [Sleek New Reclaimed Hardwood Floors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sleek-new-reclaimed-hardwood-floors-pj-vj~1825082) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 2 - [New Hardwood Floors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-hardwood-floors-pj-vj~5952867) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 3 - [European White Oak](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/european-white-oak-pj-vj~5772162) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 3 - Description: European White Oak with UV cured oil finish. - [Make your existing floor look like new](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/make-your-existing-floor-look-like-new-pj-vj~5827280) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: Hardwood Floor Stripping, Buffing & Polishing [See all 10 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/flooring-contractors/sunshine-flooring-pfvwus-pf~126957324) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/917665006.m3u8?s=acb7c3837134e17df9ef997a1de0d398979d5b2d&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you prepare and level subfloors?** Yes, we absolutely prepare and level subfloors as part of our comprehensive flooring services.
