OC Flooring refinishes hardwood throughout Edmonds — the fir and oak floors in the older Craftsman and view homes down in the Edmonds Bowl and up around Seaview and Perrinville. We bring them back with dustless sanding, custom staining and color changes, and durable low-VOC finishes, all done on-site by our own crew.
Yes. Many Bowl and Seaview homes have original vertical-grain fir, softer and thinner than oak. We sand it gently with the right grit sequence so it's restored without burning through the wear layer.
Yes — Edmonds homeowners often want to lighten or modernize an old stain. We sample the new color on your actual floor before committing, then sand and refinish to match.
Usually. Marine air and waterfront lots add moisture. We find the source, let the wood settle to normal moisture, then sand flat and refinish so it stays flat.
Most fall between $3,500 and $8,000 — that's $3–$6 per square foot. Edmonds' 1940s–60s beach cottages in the Bowl average 900–1,300 sq ft of oak, putting them at the lower end. View homes with larger great rooms and stairs trend higher. Your written quote breaks out every line.
Most Edmonds projects wrap in three to four days. We've finished smaller Bowl cottages in two when no stain is involved. Waterborne finishes like Bona Traffic HD dry fast — walkable in a day — which is how we keep the schedule short without cutting cure quality.
In about 30 minutes we measure your rooms, gauge how much wear layer your oak has left, flag any repairs, and show you finish samples in your own light — which matters in Edmonds' bright water-facing rooms. You receive a written fixed price; it's free and there's no pressure to book.
There's a strong chance. The Edmonds Bowl holds many of the city's oldest houses, and homes from the 1940s through the '60s were commonly built with oak floors that later got carpeted over. Check by pulling back a carpet corner in a closet or near a floor vent and looking for narrow oak boards. We also do free in-home assessments around Edmonds if you'd like a hand.
No — almost never. Solid oak can be sanded and refinished four to six times over its lifetime, so an Edmonds floor from the mid-century usually has plenty of wood left. Pet stains, gaps, and old water marks typically restore beautifully once the floor is sanded. We use a dustless process to keep your home clean while we work.
Almost always — refinishing usually runs 50–70% less than removing everything and installing new floors. You also keep the dense old-growth oak that Edmonds' older homes were built with, which today's flooring can't match. Restored hardwood adds resale value, too, when it's time to sell.
