OC Flooring refinishes hardwood across Kirkland — the oak and fir floors in the older homes around Norkirk, Houghton, and Market Street, and the newer engineered floors in Juanita and Rose Hill remodels. We sand, repair, stain, and seal on-site with dustless equipment and your choice of oil- or water-based low-VOC finishes.
Yes. We offer water-based finishes like Bona Traffic HD for a fast, low-odor cure, and oil-based or Swedish finishes for a warmer, traditional tone. We'll walk you through the trade-offs so the look fits your Kirkland home.
Yes. Norkirk, Houghton, and Market-area homes often have original 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.
Current Kirkland projects price at $3–$6 per square foot. A 1,200 sq ft Rose Hill main floor typically totals $4,200–$7,500; Juanita condos run less because of smaller footprints. HOA paperwork for condo buildings is something we handle routinely — finish odors and schedules are documented in advance.
Houses take three to five days; Kirkland condos often just two to three because of size. For condos near Juanita Bay and downtown we use low-odor waterborne finishes and protect shared hallways — building managers get our COI and schedule before day one.
Soft, natural grays remain popular in Kirkland, but the heavy driftwood gray of 2015 has faded from favor. Most clients now choose Classic Gray or Weathered Oak — gray-beige blends that read warm and current. We stain samples on your floor so you can judge in your own light before deciding.
One free visit. We measure, moisture-test, check wear layer, and review stain options at your Kirkland home — Juanita to Totem Lake. The written quote itemizes sanding, repairs, stain, and finish separately so you can adjust scope. It arrives the same day, valid 60 days.
Very likely. Kirkland's pre-war homes in Norkirk and Market, along with the 1950s tracts in Rose Hill, were typically built with solid oak floors that often ended up under carpet. To check, lift a corner of the carpet in a closet or near a vent and look for narrow oak boards. We're glad to come out for a free in-home assessment if you'd rather not guess.
Almost always several. Solid oak can be sanded and refinished four to six times over its life, so an older Kirkland floor usually has plenty of wood left to work with. Pet stains, board gaps, and old water marks generally restore beautifully once sanded back. Our dustless process keeps the dust out of the rest of your home.
Refinishing is almost always the better value — typically 50–70% less than tearing out and replacing. It also preserves the old-growth oak that Kirkland's older homes were built with, which new flooring can't replicate. Restored hardwood tends to add resale value when you sell.

“Bohdan personally oversees every floor we refinish in Kirkland — 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!”
“I was worried our hardwoods could not be revived after years of big dogs, kids and sun fading. The OC guys did a beautiful job refinishing the floors before we put our home on the market. They look like new!”
