Introduction: Hello! As a hardwood floor specialist I’ve been honing my craft for the past decade. Bringing beauty to a space is my passion, and providing a professionally long-lasting built floor is my pride. I have had the great pleasure of studying under fantastic master craftsmen in my field, and I continue to develop my knowledge in new techniques, and the best and most cost efficient products available, as I also continue to broaden my knowledge in the latest r&d aspects of interior design. I have 14 years of experience installing and refinishing hardwood floors. Most of my work was in Orange County, Beverly Hills, and Malibu. I work mainly on high end residential projects, and can provide plenty of references. I currently work in the field with my hard working crew that performs with integrity, honesty, a mindfulness of your space, and a careful attention to detail. Not glossing over any part of the process is extremely important to me and your floor. I have a 100% costumer satisfaction guaranteed model...and have never had a dissatisfied client. The highest goals I set are: to provide my client with an enjoyable experience on the business end of things: - Provide a free and thorough estimate, with moisture testing, all measurements, and material sheet included. - Clear plan of action. - Reasonable timeline with professional communication. - Fair and competitive prices, with NO hidden additional costs. - Clean cut, professional, and trusted workers that don’t cuss, smoke, or leave messes. (It’s important that you feel safe and respected in your home, commercial space, etc.) Excellent craftsmanship: - Beautiful wood floors I can stand behind and be proud of. - Proper infrastructure (Ply wood, underlining, moisture barrier, ect) - Proper installment, lasting finish, with ONLY THE BEST products (this is extremely important...do not let anyone tell you otherwise!) I think what stands out about our business is that we really do care. We will be sensitive to your schedule, your space, and your health. That said, I follow a strict schedule, leaving no dust, (no dust method), hand prints, etc (basically all the things that drive me crazy:). I see clean up as a very important part of the process. With years of experience working with designers and architects in the industry, I can confidently offer any tips or advice in the purchase or design choice of your product or vision for flooring and/or space. I would prefer the wood to be delivered to the site, ahead of time, to assure the necessary acclimation period prior to install. But with a decent amount of leeway... I’d also be happy to help with delivering wood. Thank you for your consideration. I believe it’s important to provide a thorough picture of who I am. Wood floor work is a dying craft, and there are only a very few truly experienced wood flooring specialists in the field today. Your new wood floors will likely be the best investment in your greatest asset, so I understand the importance of your decision. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sheila Butler

I originally hired Wholesome Hardwood Flooring to remove carpet and tile to prep for the installation of vinyl planking. I ended up having Sheila, the owner, also install the vinyl planking because after watching her remove the carpet and tile, my mind was made up that we wanted her to do the floor installation as well. First, the carpet removal. Our carpet was in such bad condition - it was gross...to put it mildly. Sheila came in and had about 1800 sqft of carpet and carpet pad pulled up, sliced up, rolled up and off to the dump in no time. Now...the way she went about removing the tile solidified in my mind that I wanted her to install my flooring. Sheila and her helper removed my kitchen and nook area tile flooring totally by hand!! She made the decision because it was a small enough area that could be done manually and would prevent the dust damage that a big power tool would create. It took a bit longer but we were okay with that. We have experienced the dust created when removing tile with power tools and it is not pleasant. The dust is EVERYWHERE. The fact that she considered and chose our living environment over how quick and easy the power tool would have made her job impressed us. They were on hands and knees, demolishing and scraping my tile flooring!! When they were done, my cement floor was virtually pristine. She removed carpet tack stripping, nails, mastic, everything. At this point, she did not know she was going to put in our new floors. Now, the flooring installation. Originally, we had decided that we were going to install the vinyl planking ourselves...but decided to ask Sheila for a bid to install. In hindsight, we are so ecstatic that we did. If you want wood flooring or vinyl planking done and done right, Sheila is who you want! This is where she shines! It becomes plainly obvious very quickly that she truly enjoys what she does. The attention to even the smallest detail is amazing. Watching her work made us realize there was no way we could have done this ourselves and have such beautiful workmanship. She also installed our baseboards and did a fantastic job of it. We loved her guidance on picking the right baseboard based on the vision we had for our home. Spot on. Sheila's work ethic, her skill, her artistry, her integrity, and her spirit made her an absolute pleasure to have in our home. An extra bonus: she often sings while she works and has an angelic voice. I very highly recommend her. Especially if you want your flooring done right!

Sheila is fantastic—an absolute pleasure to do business with!! I needed to float a wood floor on top of carpet, because I’m not allowed to remove the carpet in my new apartment. I was turned down by several floor companies until I contacted Wholesome Hardwood Flooring through Thumbtack. Sheila was totally enthusiastic about trying something new. She was always on time, gave a very fair estimate and stuck to it, did a superb job with great attention to detail and she is an excellent communicator—a joy to have around. I have nothing negative to say. Even my neighbors continue to have nice things to say about her. The floor turned out to be much nicer than I anticipated and it really makes my new apartment work for me and the dogs. I highly recommend Wholesome Hardwood Flooring without reservation. Skip the rest—Sheila’s the best!

I can’t say enough about Sheila’s work, professionalism, and knowledge. She pulled my carpet up and made my hardwood floors look brand new! We hit a snag and a couple of the woods panels were damaged and she offered up two solutions. One within budget and the other that required more of an investment. She is honest and reliable. I highly recommend her and I’m 100% confident you will not be disappointed.

Sheila has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Initially I was only looking for someone to remove the carpet from my house and also to provide a professional opinion as to what steps I should take thereafter regarding the state of the flooring. Sheila not only removed close to 1200 sf of carpeting, nails and staples in less than 2 days; she left all of the flooring exceptionally clean and smooth. I now am looking forward to continuing to work with Sheila for the remainder of my flooring project. Sheila is responsive, punctual and has an impeccable attention to detail!

I'm so pleased with Sheila's work. I highly recommend her to everyone if you need flooring done. She is very meticulous, has integrity and her prices are reasonable. Plus she has impeccable taste if you need so decor advice.
