Recent Kirkland project
Kirkland: maple floors brought back to bright.
The maple floors in this Kirkland home had dulled and picked up scratches across the kitchen, living room and entry, the kind of wear everyday life leaves on a light wood. We sanded the floors back to clean wood and refinished them, bringing back maple’s bright, even tone to match the white cabinetry and black ironwork.
Before: kitchen
Dull, scratched finish along the island and the main work zone.
After: kitchen
Clean, bright maple that works with the white cabinets and quartz.
After: entry and stairs
Refinished maple from the front door to the curved staircase, framed by the black railing.
After: living room
Bright, even maple around the curved bay window seat.
Kirkland homes
Light floors, open plans, real life.
Many Kirkland homes, newer builds and remodels alike, have open floor plans and light-toned hardwood like maple and white oak. Light woods show wear first in kitchens and entries, but they can usually be refinished instead of replaced. Our showroom is right here at 11232 120th Ave NE, STE 110, so you can see wood species and finishes in person before you decide.

What clients say
“The floors have never looked better.”
“Recently hired LUKS Construction to refinish our maple hardwood floors throughout our home… The crew that did the refinishing work were prompt and clear on the process, respectful of the home, and did an amazing job and the floors have never looked better… not only was Andrew on site to check the status of the work throughout the project, but he was quick to follow up once the work was completed to ensure we were completely satisfied with the results.”

FAQ
Quick answers before you book.
These are the questions homeowners ask most often before choosing installation, refinishing, stairs, or LVP.
How do I choose between refinishing and replacing my hardwood floors?
If your boards are structurally sound (no widespread water damage, severe cupping, or major delamination), refinishing is usually the best value. If the floor is too thin to sand, has extensive movement, or you want a new layout/species, replacement makes more sense. We confirm on-site after checking wear layer, subfloor, and moisture.
Do you offer dust-controlled sanding?
Yes — we use dust-control practices (containment, extraction, and daily cleanup) to keep your home livable during refinishing. No system is 100% dust-free, but the goal is a clean, controlled worksite — not a construction zone.
Water-based vs oil-based finish — what should I pick?
Water-based finishes cure faster and keep wood tones lighter/cleaner. Oil-based finishes add warmth and a classic amber tone. The “best” choice depends on your desired color, sheen, traffic level, and lifestyle. We’ll recommend a finish system after evaluating your space and goals.
Can you match stairs to existing floors (tone + sheen)?
Yes. We focus on continuity — species, stain tone, and sheen level — so stairs and floors feel like one plan. For stained projects, we test before final color to reduce surprises.
What causes squeaks, bounce, or hollow spots — and can you fix it?
Most issues come from subfloor flatness, fastener patterns, adhesive coverage, or movement between layers. Our process starts below the surface: evaluation, moisture checks, and prep/leveling so the finished floor feels quiet and solid.
Do you serve my city in Seattle or the Eastside?
Yes — we serve Seattle and the Eastside (including Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Mercer Island) plus nearby communities. If you’re unsure, call 425-971-2895 and we’ll confirm.
