Hardwood Floors PDX is a Portland hardwood flooring company focused on high-quality installation, refinishing, sanding, and floor repair for homeowners who want durable results and clear communication. Under the direct leadership of founder and operator Pavel Popovici, our licensed local crew provides craftsmanship backed by transparency and reliable project planning.
The Founder’s Story and Philosophy
Pavel Popovici founded Hardwood Floors PDX with a single clear goal: to build a flooring service that homeowners could trust implicitly. Having worked in the trades for over 15 years, Pavel saw how often clients were left in the dark by large franchises and general contractors who juggled too many projects at once.
"I treat your home like my own," Pavel says. "We're a local crew, not a franchise. I personally supervise every project and stand firmly behind the quality of our craft. My word is my bond."
Pavel's hands-on approach ensures that from the initial moisture reading to the final cure walkthrough, the work meets strict professional standards. This dedication to experience, expertise, and trustworthiness is why Hardwood Floors PDX maintains a 5.0★ rating on Google and works closely with local realtors to prepare homes for the market.
Our Core Brand Promises
We don’t just fix floors; we protect your investment and your family’s health with modern technology and proven methods. Here is what we promise on every project:
1. Your Home, Valued (+2.5% Value Boost)
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Remodeling Impact Report, refinished wood floors are one of the highest-yield projects a homeowner can undertake. Refinished floors can add up to 2.5% to your home's resale value, and new hardwood floor installation recovers a substantial portion of its cost at resale. It is the smartest investment you can make in your space.
2. Built for Real Life (Pet and Family Safe)
Life happens: toys drop, pets run, and spills occur. We use premium finishes, including Bona Traffic HD, designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, dog claws, and daily chaos. Crucially, we use low-VOC, waterborne finishes that cure quickly and emit no harsh, toxic chemical fumes, keeping your family and pets safe.
3. Breathe Easy (99.8% Dust-Contained Sanding)
Clean air, clean home. Traditional floor sanding leaves a layer of fine wood dust that settles in HVAC vents, cabinets, and closets for weeks. Hardwood Floors PDX uses industrial-strength vacuum containment systems that capture 99.8% of dust right at the sander. You won't be dealing with cleanup long after we're gone.
4. Colors Without the Guesswork
Selecting a stain color from a tiny paper swatch or a phone screen is a recipe for disappointment. Wood species accept stains differently depending on age and grain. We apply multiple real stain samples directly to your prepped wood floor, allowing you to see the true color under your own roof and lighting conditions before we apply it across the entire room.
Our Service Experience vs. Generalists
Rather than presenting a standard checklist where we claim to be perfect and others fail, we want to explain the specific standards that guide our day-to-day operations.
- Direct Owner Oversight: Every project is personally managed and inspected on-site by Pavel. You are never handed off to a subcontractor or a junior project manager.
- Master Craftsmanship: We focus on hardwood installation, dustless sanding, refinishing, board-level repairs, and artisan tile accents. This specialization means our crew knows the exact nuances of local Douglas fir, red oak, and engineered flooring systems.
- Transparent Pricing: Our bids are detailed, written, and final. We do not hide fees or present mid-project surprise costs. If unforeseen subfloor issues or water damage are discovered during prep, we pause, show you the damage, explain the options, and provide a clear, upfront cost before proceeding.
- Human Communication: We answer calls and reply to messages quickly. If you have a question about cure times, sheens, or scheduling, you get a direct answer from Pavel or a team member immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hardwood Floors PDX licensed and insured?
Yes, we are fully licensed, bonded, and insured to work in Oregon. Our Construction Contractors Board license number is CCB #207760.
Do you offer warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a written workmanship warranty on all our installation and refinishing projects. We stand behind our work because we oversee it personally.
How do I prepare my home for refinishing?
Before we arrive, all furniture, electronics, and personal items must be removed from the rooms being serviced. We mask off adjacent doorways and vents to protect the rest of your home, and we guide you on when it is safe to walk on the floors during the curing process.
Can you match new wood to my existing historic flooring?
Yes. We specialize in sourcing matching species, grain grades, and plank widths, and we lace in new boards surgically to make repairs or extensions blend in invisibly.
