About SLO Spas & Sauna

Who We Are

We're seasoned pros who make the whole thing painless — fair pricing, a straight timeline, and no runaround. Our customers come first, and the folks we've built for will happily tell you so. Indoor or out, fully custom or a kit dialed in to your space, we'd love to bring your idea to life. There isn't much in this trade we haven't run into, so whatever curveball your project throws, we'll steer you around it. Give us a call — we'd be glad to help.

Our mission

To craft saunas, hot tubs, and cold plunges so well made and so inviting that they become part of how you live — not a backyard box you stop using by fall.

What we value

• Patience pays. If a bench needs another day at the workbench to sit right, it gets another day — we don’t ship work we’d rather redo.
• Wood you can trust. Untreated cedar, hemlock, and Nordic spruce, full stop — no laminates, no filler, nothing that turns sour when the room heats up.
• Heat, engineered. Rock mass, ventilation, and moisture are balanced as one system, so the löyly lands right on every session.
• One name to call. Whoever draws your sauna is the same person steering it through permits, framing, and the final coat.

Our crew

We're a compact crew of finish carpenters and sauna builders working out of San Luis Obispo, schooled in both Finnish and North American methods. Keeping the team small and the work under our own roof means the hands milling your cedar are the same ones hanging the door and stacking the stones. A lot of us found this trade through our own habit of chasing heat and cold — a sauna after a Bishop Peak climb, a plunge after a surf at Pismo — and it shows in the details we sweat: the curve of a bench, the pitch of a backrest, how a vent pulls clean on a gray coastal morning.
