Why Homeowners Trust OC Flooring

Most people worry about refinishing their hardwood floors because they’ve heard horror stories — dust everywhere, strong odors, unclear pricing, and contractors that disappear halfway through the job. At OC Flooring, we’ve seen it all, and that’s why we built our process around solving the very problems homeowners face.

✅ “Will my house be covered in dust?”
Not with us. We use professional dust containment systems so your home stays clean while we work.

✅ “What about the smell — is it safe for my kids and pets?” We use premium low-VOC, water-based finishes (like Bona Traffic HD), which dry fast and are safe for the whole family.

✅ “How do I know the price won’t change later?” We provide clear, written estimates upfront. No surprise add-ons. Ever.

✅ “What if something goes wrong after you leave?” Every project comes with a 1-year workmanship guarantee, and we stand behind our work long after the job is done.
‍
✅ “Do I need to move out while you work?” In most cases, no. We’ll walk you through which rooms are off-limits and when you can walk on your floors again — usually within 24 hours.

Prepare the rooms, repairs and set-up

In Mercer Island, WA, before we begin the sanding process, we take care of any agreed-upon repairs, removing staples and nails and ensuring our equipment is in proper working order. We also set up our advanced dustless equipment, giving you the option to choose the level of dust control that suits your needs. For more information on dust control options, you can read about it here.We then meticulously sweep the rooms, thoroughly vacuuming them to create a clean and prepared surface. Finally, we set up our sanding machines, ready to deliver top-notch hardwood floor refinishing services.

Sanding off the existing old finish

Next step in our hardwood floor refinishing process is the removal of the old, worn-out, and damaged finish. We employ various sanding machines with different grits of paper to effectively strip your flooring down to the bare wood. The selection of grits depends on the type of finish you have and the level of difficulty in removing it. Our workhorse, the big belt sander, efficiently tackles the main areas, while smaller sanders are employed to reach those intricate, hard-to-access sections.

Detailed fine sanding and filler

After removing the old finish, some scratches may be left on your floor due to the use of rough grit sandpaper. To address this, our next step involves using a series of finer sandpaper grits gradually to smooth out the surface and prepare it for the new finish. This process helps eliminate any remaining scratches and ensures a flawless result. As part of this refinement process, we may also utilize trowel filling techniques to fill in any gaps or imperfections on your floor. By trowel filling with putty, we can achieve a more uniform and seamless appearance. To determine if your floor is a candidate for trowel filling, you can click here for more information.

Finishing touches and clean up

After completing sanding with the machines, our refinishing process includes the final touches done by hand. We utilize hand scrapers to access hard-to-reach areas under radiators, along the trim, and in corners that the sanders cannot reach. These areas are then meticulously hand-sanded to match the final grit used by the sanders. Once the hand scraping and sanding are complete, thorough vacuuming and clean-up are essential to prepare for the next step. We take great care in ensuring that all dust and debris are efficiently removed, leaving a clean and pristine surface for the subsequent stages of the hardwood floor refinishing process.
