Freshly finished oak hardwood flooring in a Shawnee, Kansas home

Hardwood Flooring

The name on the truck. Installation, sanding, staining, refinishing, repair, and full restoration of solid and engineered wood floors, from carpet pulls that uncover original oak to herringbone laid new. If it is wood and it is underfoot, it is ours.

Vinyl

Luxury vinyl plank and tile for kitchens, basements, and busy households, installed over subfloors we flatten first, because that is where cheap vinyl jobs fail.

Laminate flooring installed in a Johnson County living room

Laminate

Wood looks at a friendlier price, with scratch resistance real wood cannot match and the expansion room that keeps floating floors flat and quiet.

Commercial flooring installed in an Overland Park business

Commercial floors. Open for business the whole time.

Offices, retail, restaurants, clinics, and warehouses across the metro. We spec materials from your real traffic counts rather than a showroom mood board, install nights and weekends in phased zones with contained work areas, and hand your facilities team the product data and maintenance paperwork at the end. Your doors stay open and your revenue keeps moving while the floor goes in under them. From a single office suite in Lenexa to a restaurant dining room in the Crossroads, the process is the same: written scope, written schedule, and a crew that keeps both.

Nights and weekends. Spec-sheet honest. One crew from scope to punch list.

A proud partner of

ProSource Wholesale partner

Trusted by clients. Built on referrals.

Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. When you treat every client like family and stand behind every board you lay, the phone keeps ringing on its own. That has kept us busy across Shawnee and the whole KC metro for over a decade, from Prairie Village refinishes to Olathe installs to commercial floors along the I-35 corridor. No ad budget survives a bad reputation, and no bad reputation survives this many years in a town this connected. The rating below is not a marketing line. It is the scoreboard.

I wanted to work for myself so I could treat every client like family. Fourteen years later, that is still how we run it. Your home protected, your questions answered straight, your floor done right.

Woods we work with, chosen for Kansas life

Materials come through ProSource Wholesale at contractor pricing, so the same dollar buys more floor than it does at retail. These four species carry most of the homes we do, and we bring real samples to the first visit so you choose in your own light, on your own subfloor, next to your own trim.

The finish on top and the glue underneath matter as much as the boards. We work with LOBA finishes and WAKOL adhesives, the German systems serious wood floor shops run.

Frequently asked questions

Real questions from real phone calls. If yours is not here, ask it the direct way and talk to the people who do the work.

Can my old hardwood be refinished, or does it need replacing?

Most solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished several times, even floors that look rough. Deep water damage, severe cupping, or boards sanded too thin over the years change the answer. Thiago will look at your floor and tell you honestly which side of the line it falls on. Refinishing usually costs a fraction of replacement, so we always check that first.

How much dust does sanding actually make?

With our dustless sanding rigs, very little. Every machine we run, from the big drum sanders to the edgers, connects to vacuum containment that captures the overwhelming majority of dust at the source before it ever reaches your air. You will still want to wipe a shelf or two afterward, but your house will not be coated white. It is a different experience from old-school sanding.

How long does a typical flooring job take?

A straightforward install in a couple of rooms usually runs two to four days. Refinishing adds cure time between coats, so figure three to five days depending on the finish. Bigger homes and commercial spaces take longer. You get a real schedule before we start, and we keep to it.

Do you handle furniture and old floor removal?

Yes. We move furniture, tear out the old flooring, haul the debris away the same day, and repair and flatten the subfloor while it is exposed. Floor removal and replacement is one of our standing services, so the whole job runs through one crew instead of three subcontractors you have to schedule and chase yourself.

What will my project cost?

Depends on the floor, the square footage, and what the subfloor is hiding, so we do not guess over the phone. Call and Thiago will come take a look, usually within a few days, and give you a straight price in writing. No pressure and no games with the number afterward.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Hardwood Kings is locally licensed, certified, and insured, and we have been operating in Shawnee since 2012. If you want to verify anything before we start, ask and we will show you the paperwork. We would rather you check than wonder.

Do you work on both sides of the state line?

Yes. Kansas and Missouri both, with the same crew and the same pricing discipline. Our fifty mile radius from Shawnee covers Johnson, Wyandotte, and Jackson counties, which means Overland Park and Brookside are equally home turf. Roughly a third of our work is on the Missouri side in any given year.

Can you help me choose between hardwood, vinyl, laminate, and tile?

That is half of what the first visit is for. We look at the rooms, ask how your household actually lives, and lay out honest options at more than one budget with real samples you can hold against your trim. The right material depends on the room more than the brochure: solid wood for living spaces, waterproof vinyl where water lives, tile in the bath, laminate where budgets lead. We will tell you when the cheaper option is genuinely the better one, because it often is.
