The houses
Pierpont Bay was subdivided in 1925 and most of its first lots were built between 1926 and 1930: five-room beach cottages and Spanish Colonial Revival courtyard apartments. Storms in the early 1930s and 1935 destroyed beachfront property, and building resumed in the 1950s. So we see old oak and fir from the 1920s cottages to refinish, and slabs under the postwar houses to prepare for new floors.
Floors near the beach
Sand tracked in from the beach acts like sandpaper on the finish. Put a mat at the door, choose a lower sheen that hides scratches, and recoat before the finish wears through. More in the care guide and on the finishes page.
Working in the city
- Hours. The City of Ventura allows construction from 7 am to 8 pm, seven days a week, with a residential noise limit of 55 decibels.
- Debris. Old flooring is construction waste with its own disposal rules, listed under local rules.
A Ventura job, in our founder’s words
One Ventura house sat right on the sand.
“The back door opened directly onto the beach, with clear blue skies and a truly peaceful atmosphere. The homeowner was incredibly hospitable, keeping us fueled with coffee and snacks every day. Working there for those two weeks was a pure joy, and it’s a job I still look back on with great fondness.”La Cumbre Floor’s founder
