Vasi Popovici, founder of Flooring PDX, on a Portland refinishing project

Vasi Popovici - Founder, Flooring PDX

I'm Vasi Popovici. I founded Flooring PDX so Portland homeowners could hire a flooring contractor where the owner is actually on the job - not a name on the truck.

If you call 503-388-1689, there's a real chance I pick up. If I'm sanding, you'll hear back the same business day.

What I do

Hardwood floors. Only hardwood floors. Installation, refinishing, sanding, and repair across the Portland Metro and Vancouver area. I don't do kitchens or general remodeling - staying focused on one trade is how we keep the work good.

We also do tiling a bit. But not the rest.

I've been doing this for years and I've seen most of what Portland-area homes throw at hardwood: 1900s Doug fir in Sellwood bungalows, 1980s oak in Beaverton ranches, modern engineered planks in Bethany and Happy Valley builds. Every neighborhood teaches you something.

Licensed and insured

That's the basic floor (no pun intended) for any flooring contractor in Oregon. Don't hire anyone who can't show you both.

How I run a project

  1. Free walkthrough. I come to your home, look at every room, and quote a clear range. If you don't actually need the work yet, I'll tell you that too.
  2. Written estimate, usually within 36 hours. Fixed scope and pricing.
  3. Moisture and subfloor check before we commit to a schedule.
  4. Quick updates through the project - photos, texts, real answers when you ask.
  5. Final walkthrough together before I consider the job done.

For more on what each service actually involves, see refinishing, installation, and dustless sanding. For project timing specifics, see how long refinishing takes in Portland or refinish vs replace.

Why Portland

I work where I live. The metro climate, the housing stock, the people - I know all three pretty well by now. That's why every city we serve has a dedicated guide and why we cover sub-neighborhoods like Alameda, Lake Grove, and Cedar Hills at the block level.
