OC Flooring refinishes hardwood throughout Everett — from the century-old fir floors in the Craftsman and Victorian homes up on Rucker Hill and Northwest Everett to the newer builds around Silver Lake. We bring them back with dustless sanding, custom staining, and durable low-VOC finishes, all done on-site by our own crew.
Yes — much of Northwest Everett, Rucker Hill, and Bayside still has original vertical-grain fir, which is softer and thinner than oak. We sand it gently with the right grit sequence so the floor is restored without burning through the wear layer.
Usually. Cupping comes from moisture, common near Everett's waterfront and in older homes. We track down the source, let the wood return to normal moisture, then sand flat and refinish so it stays flat.
Between $3 and $6 per square foot in Everett. North Everett bungalows with 800–1,000 sq ft of original fir usually total $2,800–$5,500; larger Silver Lake homes more. Fir requires finer-grit sanding than oak — included in the price, never an upcharge.
Most Everett jobs run three to five days door to door. Older Bayside and Riverside homes sometimes need an extra half-day for board repairs before sanding starts. We give you a day-by-day schedule with the quote so you know exactly when you can use each room.
Yes — we keep reclaimed and new vertical-grain fir on hand specifically for Everett's pre-war homes. Damaged boards near doorways and radiators are pulled and replaced, then the floor is sanded and finished as one surface so the new wood blends in.
Call or book online and we'll come to your Everett home — usually within two or three days. The visit is free: we measure, check the fir or oak's thickness, and hand you a written all-inclusive price. Same-week starts are often available outside peak summer.
Very likely. Homes from Everett's early-1900s-to-1940s era — especially around Rucker Hill and the Grand–Colby grid — were almost always built with solid Douglas fir floors that later got covered with carpet. To check, peel back a corner of the carpet in a closet or near a heating vent and look for narrow wood planks. If you'd rather not guess, we'll come out and give you a free in-home assessment.
Almost always, yes. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished four to six times over its life, so even an 80–100-year-old Everett floor usually has plenty of wood left to work with. Pet stains, board gaps, and old water marks typically restore beautifully once the floor is sanded back. Our dustless sanding keeps the rest of your home clean while we do it.
Refinishing is almost always the better value — it usually costs 50–70% less than tearing everything out and installing new floors. You also keep the tight-grained, old-growth fir that Everett's older homes were built with, which today's flooring simply can't match. Restored original hardwood tends to add resale value, too, when it's time to sell.

“Bohdan personally oversees every floor we refinish in Everett — from the first sanding pass to the final coat.”
“The installers were great! The floor is exactly what we wanted. They also did the stairs, which were carpet. We worked with OC Flooring previously — they refinished our red oak. Highly recommend!”
“They refinished over 300 sq ft of maple flooring that was 15 years old — the floors look as good or better than new!! They placed plastic sheeting over the cabinets to contain the dust, so we noticed hardly any. Would definitely recommend.”
“OC Flooring did an excellent job repairing our wood floors. We chose them because they were professional and top-notch. The repair was smooth, fast and cost-effective — such skill and precision!”
