Dustless sanding and refinishing in Hillsboro, OR

5.0★ dustless floor sanding in Hillsboro, OR. 99.8% HEPA containment, clean air, licensed CCB #207760. Free estimate in 36 hrs.

Hardwood Floors PDX brings owner-operated dustless sanding and refinishing to Hillsboro and the surrounding OR neighborhoods. Founder Pavel Popovici personally evaluates and executes every Hillsboro project, so the person quoting your floor is the person doing the work. We are licensed, bonded, and insured (Oregon CCB #207760).

Our high-powered vacuum unit connects directly to the sanding machines, pulling wood particles outside or into dual-stage HEPA filters before dust can settle on walls or vents. Homeowners in Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, Reedville, Jackson School call us because we treat each Hillsboro floor as its own problem, not a template.

Service area fit

Hillsboro sits inside our core OR service radius, and we work throughout Orenco Station, Tanasbourne, Reedville, Jackson School. Because we are based in the Portland metro, a Hillsboro address means short drive times, same-week estimates, and a crew that knows the housing stock, from older Orenco Station homes to newer construction in Tanasbourne. We also serve the streets and cul-de-sacs between these Hillsboro neighborhoods. Homes across Hillsboro range from early-century bungalows with original fir and oak to modern builds with wide-plank engineered floors, and each era needs a different hand. Knowing the local stock means we arrive with the right sanding grit sequence, moisture plan, and finish for your specific Hillsboro floor instead of guessing on the day.

Pricing factors

Dustless sanding is included with all our refinishing services starting at $5.40/sq ft. Your final Hillsboro quote depends on square footage, floor condition, stain choices, stairs, and how much furniture moving and prep the job needs. Pavel walks the Hillsboro home in person, measures, and gives you a written number with no upsell pressure. Every quote includes a direct owner evaluation rather than a salesperson estimate. We flag anything that could change scope, such as hidden water damage under an appliance or a previous coat that will fight a recoat, before we start rather than mid-project. That way the price you approve for your Hillsboro floor is the price you pay.

Project planning

Planning a Hillsboro job starts with the free on-site estimate. We schedule around your household, protect adjoining rooms, seal off HVAC returns, and give you a realistic day-by-day timeline before we start. For Hillsboro homeowners preparing a house for sale or moving in, we coordinate timing so the floors are ready when you need the space back. If you are living in the home during the work, we sequence rooms so you always have a clear path and a place to be, and we tell you exactly when each Hillsboro space is safe to walk on and when furniture can return.

Common floor issues

In Hillsboro homes we regularly address:

  • airborne dust entering HVAC ducts and circulating through living quarters
  • fine wood powder settling on newly painted walls and window trims
  • allergy triggers for sensitive family members and pets during remodeling
  • lengthy post-sanding cleanups required by traditional sanders

Pacific Northwest moisture is the common thread behind most Hillsboro floor problems, which is why our process is built around moisture testing and proper acclimation. We measure the wood and the subfloor before we commit to a plan, because a floor that reads wet in a Hillsboro winter needs a different approach than the same floor in a dry August.

Materials and finish guidance

We pair our HEPA containment machinery with low-VOC, GREENGUARD Gold certified waterborne finishes like Bona Traffic HD for healthy indoor air quality. We help Hillsboro homeowners choose species, sheen, and stain that fit both the light in their home and the way they actually live, whether that is a busy family in Orenco Station or a quieter household in Tanasbourne. Satin and matte sheens hide day-to-day wear and pet traffic better than gloss, which matters in Hillsboro homes with dogs or kids, and we always dry a stain sample on your actual boards before committing so the color reads right under your own lighting.

Ruth Medak

"Pavel refinished my floors which turned out beautiful but the standout work was the tile setting in my two bathrooms. The most amazing was his setting in the accent tiles around my bathtub. They were fragile, thin glass, and as you can see in the picture, the result is amazing. Pavel and his partner were very careful about controlling dust and cleaning up. Zero complaints and 100% compliments for the quality and timeliness, I would definitely hire Pavel again for any future work."

Alex Stanisel

"I have worked with Popovici Construction multiple times on various projects. Every time they have exceeded my expectations! Pavel (the owner) goes above and beyond what is expected and gets you an excellent service. He has done multiple kitchens, bathrooms and all kinds of various tile work for me. He has also helped me on hardwood jobs and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality contractor!"

Carson Mead

"Pavel did a fantastic job on the tile renovation of my bathroom. He had foresight to troubleshoot potential areas of challenge, was timely and efficient in the work, and was competitive in pricing. I would definitely recommend Pavel for any tile work."
