Hardwood floor too damaged to refinish
Does This Sound Like Your Floor?

Sick of Your Old, Outdated, or Damaged Floors?

Hardwood floors can last generations, but Kansas City homeowners often struggle with floors that can’t simply be refinished:

  • Severe water damage that warped or buckled boards.

  • Excessive wear with nails showing through or layers sanded down too thin.

  • 100+ year-old floors with structural issues that refinishing can’t fix.

  • Repeated patch jobs that left mismatched boards or uneven finishes.

  • Poor-quality installs from the past that never looked right to begin with.

  • Outdated styles that looked great decades ago but aren’t the right fit now.

The unfortunate reality of hardwood floors is they don’t last forever. When refinishing isn’t an option, a new hardwood floor install is the only way to restore beauty and value. Not sure which one fits your floor? See how hardwood floor refinishing compares.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I replace my hardwood floors instead of refinishing them?
There are several situations where replacement is the better option than refinishing: Damaged boards, if the boards are too thin, water damaged, or structurally failing, it’s unsafe to do the sanding required for refinishing. Outdated styles, refinishing can change the color of your floor with a new stain, but it can’t change the layout or wood of your boards; if you want a new pattern, a new hardwood floor install is the way to go.
What are the advantages of installing hardwood floors in Kansas City or Lee’s Summit?
Unlike cheap plastic-and-adhesive plank floors or wall-to-wall carpet that holds dirt and debris, new hardwood floors are an appealing investment: aesthetics that match any decor, easy cleaning with no accumulated dust or debris, better indoor air quality with no grout lines or fibers to trap allergens, damage resistance once properly sealed, lower long-term costs since they rarely need replacement, and up to a 5% boost to your home’s value.
What species of wood do you install in hardwood floors?
The most popular options are durable woods like oak, hickory, cherry, and maple. Have something else in mind? We’d be happy to help source and install it for you. Stains can also dramatically change the look of a floor.
What patterns of hardwood floor do you install?
There are many slat and pattern options. At JRK Flooring, we custom design every floor so you can be sure it matches your style. Many homeowners choose classic layouts like herringbone, chevron, or straight lay, we’ll guide you through the whole process, including design considerations.
Where do you install new hardwood floors at?
Our service area stretches all around the Kansas City metro, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, and full-home installs. See the full list of areas we serve.
How much does hardwood floor installation cost in Kansas City?
Every Kansas City hardwood floor install is different, and pricing depends heavily on square footage, wood type, and finishing options. Most installs range from $10–20 per square foot.
How long does hardwood floor installation in Kansas City take?
The average room (300–500 square feet) takes 1–2 weeks to complete an installation. This includes removing old flooring, moisture treatment, new slat installation, staining, multiple finish coats, cure time, and cleanup.
Can hardwood be installed over concrete?
Technically, yes, but it might not be the best option. Installing hardwood directly on concrete can lead to significant moisture damage and buckling. It may be better to install a subfloor first, or to install luxury vinyl floors that mimic the look of hardwood.
Will the hardwood install process create a lot of dust?
Installing new floors is a significant update to the home and can create some dust and debris. We use HEPA vacuums, containment systems, and proper dust control measures to protect your home, and we clean up after ourselves, your house will look great when we’re done.
How long do new hardwood floors last?
When properly installed and cared for, hardwood floors can last a lifetime, many floors last 100 years or more. This is a major reason hardwoods are such a good investment: you never need another floor.
I have pets or children. Are hardwood floors still a good idea?
Yes. By using durable species of wood and protective finishes, hardwood floors outperform vinyl flooring, tile, and carpet by miles, and are often easier to clean than other flooring options.
