They sanded and refinished 900 sq ft of 1926 fir without a film of dust on the bookshelves. The stain samples on our actual floor sold us — the fan deck color we almost picked looked wrong in our light.

What we do
Every floor a Portland home wears
6 specialties, one standard: flat, quiet underfoot, and finished to the last row. Every job carries the same written flat-rate quote and two-year warranty.
Hardwood Installation & Refinishing Solid and engineered hardwood installed to spec, or an existing floor stripped back with dustless sanding and refinished — both run by the same crew, on the same written quote. Explore the service 
Tile & Stone Porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone set on decoupling membrane with leveled lippage — bathrooms, entries, and kitchens that stay flat and crack-free. Explore the service 
Luxury Vinyl & Laminate Waterproof LVP for kitchens, basements, and rentals, or high-traffic laminate with a proper moisture barrier — both installed with the subfloor flattened first and transitions that don’t catch a sock. Explore the service 
Carpet Installation Power-stretched wall to wall — no ripples, ever — with pad matched to traffic and seams placed where furniture and light hide them. Explore the service 
Floor Repair & Restoration Water damage, soft subfloor, cracked grout, and boards that never should have been installed the way they were — diagnosed honestly and repaired section by section instead of a wall-to-wall replacement sell. Explore the service 
Commercial Flooring Office, retail, and multi-unit flooring scheduled around your operating hours — commercial-grade materials, a single point of contact, and a punch-list walkthrough before the space reopens. Explore the service Why Oakform
A floor is the one surface you touch all day
It should be chosen by hand and installed by people who sweat the last row. Here is what that means in practice.
- The sample goes down before the stain does
- We put real finish samples on your actual boards, in your own light, before you choose. Nobody should pick a floor color off a laminated fan deck.
- Our crews, our payroll
- Every installer works for us directly — background-checked, trained to our install spec, and building a reputation they have to live with on the next job. Nothing gets subcontracted out to whoever answered a text that morning.
- The quote is the invoice
- Measured twice, priced once, in writing. If we misjudge the subfloor work once a room is opened up, that difference is ours to eat — the number you signed is the number you pay.
- Dust stays in the machine
- Refinishing and sanding run through sealed dustless rigs, floors get protected paths in and out, and we vacuum the room corners before we ever ask for a signature.
How it works
From first measure to final walk-through
Four stages, each with a name attached and a deliverable in writing.
- Stage 1 of 4
A free in-home measure & sample consult
We measure every room, check the subfloor and moisture, and leave samples behind so you can live with the color for a few days. No pressure, no deposit.
- Stage 2 of 4
One written flat-rate number
Materials, labor, prep, and haul-away in a single line-item quote with a real start date. Valid for 60 days — the price doesn’t move after you sign.
- Stage 3 of 4
Our crew, a protected home, daily broom-clean
Furniture moved, paths masked, cuts made outside where possible. Most homes finish in 2–4 days, and you get a text every morning with that day’s plan.
- Stage 4 of 4
Inspect it board by board, then the warranty goes on paper
You walk every room with the crew lead before final payment. Two years of workmanship coverage goes on paper — and we come back if anything moves.

Quote was $11,400. Invoice was $11,400 — even after they found a soft spot in the subfloor and rebuilt it. Crew texted every morning with the plan and finished a day early.

LVP through the whole basement. They spent the first day just flattening the slab, which is exactly why there isn’t a single hollow click anywhere. Other bids skipped that line entirely.

Stairs to match the new oak main floor. The nosing detail is better than the original builder’s work. My realtor asked for their card at the open house.

Beautiful carpet install, power-stretched, seams invisible. Only reason for four stars: the start date slipped three days when the mill shorted the order — though they told me the moment they knew.

Second house we’ve had Oakform floor. Same crew lead both times, five years apart. That says more about the company than anything I could write here.

Questions
Asked at nearly every estimate
Straight answers to the things homeowners actually want to know.
How much does a new floor actually cost?
Most hardwood installations run $8 to $14 per square foot installed; LVP typically runs $5 to $9, and refinishing $4 to $6. Every written quote is flat-rate — materials, labor, prep, and haul-away in one number that doesn’t change after you sign.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. The in-home measure, moisture check, and sample consult are free and take about 45 minutes. You only pay if you approve the work, and the quote stays valid for 60 days.
How long will my project take?
Most single-room and whole-home installations take 2–4 days; refinishing runs 3–5 days including cure time between coats. You get a start date in writing with the quote and a text each morning with that day’s plan.
Do we have to move out during refinishing?
Usually not. Dustless sanding rigs capture dust at the machine, and modern waterborne finishes are low-odor and walkable in hours. We’ll tell you honestly at the estimate if your project is the exception.
Who is actually doing the work in my house?
Our own employees — background-checked, on payroll, led by a crew lead who’s been with the company for years. Jobs are never brokered out to whoever answers a text that morning.
What does the workmanship warranty actually cover?
Workmanship: gaps, squeaks, lifting boards, finish defects — anything about how the floor was installed or finished. It’s written on your invoice, and manufacturer warranties on materials come on top of it.
Can you match new flooring to what’s already in the house?
Usually, yes. Stains get custom-blended on your existing boards, and we source from mills that supply the same profiles builders use. Where a perfect match isn’t possible, you’ll see it on a real sample before any work starts, not after.
My floor just flooded, or a pipe burst nearby — how fast can someone actually look at it?
Water-damage calls get priority scheduling and a same-business-day callback — we’re not a round-the-clock dispatch service, but we move fast because drywall and subfloor damage gets worse by the hour. A technician checks moisture levels before recommending anything, so you’re not paying to replace what can still be dried and saved.
