Unfinished hardwood floors — FAQ

Site-finished vs prefinished hardwood — which is better?
Site finished vs prefinished hardwood comes down to look and customization: site finished hardwood floors are sanded and finished in your home for a smooth, seamless surface and any custom color; prefinished is faster and lower-dust. We install both.
What does unfinished mean?
Unfinished (raw) hardwood is installed bare, then we sand, stain, and seal it on site — install and finish unfinished hardwood for a fully custom result.
Which species do you install unfinished?
Unfinished white oak flooring and unfinished oak flooring installation are most popular, along with unfinished maple flooring installation, in standard and wide-plank widths.
Can I get any stain color with unfinished floors?
Yes — that is the big advantage. Custom finish hardwood floors mean we test and apply any stain and sheen in your home before sealing.
Is site-finishing messier than prefinished?
There is some sanding dust, but we use a dustless sanding system to keep job site finished hardwood floors clean during the finishing process.

Unfinished Hardwood Flooring in Bellevue, WA — FAQs

What is unfinished hardwood flooring?

Quick answer: Raw wood, finished on-site.

Unfinished hardwood is delivered as raw planks that are sanded, stained, and sealed after installation. This allows for custom colors, finishes, and edge details.

Why choose unfinished over prefinished hardwood?

Quick answer: Customization and seamless look.

Unfinished flooring gives you more stain choices and creates a smooth, flush surface without micro-beveled edges. Prefinished is faster to install but offers fewer custom options.

How much does unfinished hardwood flooring cost?

Quick answer: $8–$14 per sq. ft. installed.

Costs vary by species (oak, maple, walnut), project size, and custom finish. Free in-home estimates available in Bellevue.

How long does installation and finishing take?

Quick answer: 5–7 days for most homes.

Installation usually takes a few days, followed by sanding, staining, and finishing. Drying times add extra days depending on the chosen finish.

Can unfinished hardwood be stained any color?

Quick answer: Yes—fully customizable.

You can choose from hundreds of stain shades, from natural tones to dark modern finishes. We apply samples directly on your floor so you see the result before finalizing.

How durable is unfinished hardwood once finished?

Quick answer: Extremely durable.

Once sealed with professional-grade finishes, unfinished hardwood is just as durable as prefinished floors—lasting decades with proper care.

Do you provide a warranty on unfinished hardwood installs?

Quick answer: Yes—1 year workmanship.

OC Flooring provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on installation, plus manufacturer warranties on the wood itself.
