Don’t Risk a Floor You’ll Regret for Years

A Hardwood Floor is a Major, Lasting Home Decision

Choose the wrong species, wrong grade, wrong finish, wrong installers, or the wrong person to guide you, and you’ll live with gaps, buckling, scratches that can’t be hidden, or a floor that can never be refinished properly.

There is zero room for error — and zero time to take that risk.

Big-box stores and most contractors hand you off to a sales clerk who simply reads a spec sheet.

At All Dimensions, you work directly with an experienced hardwood specialist who has installed thousands of floors in Kansas City homes — someone who actually understands the real difference between solid vs engineered, prefinished vs site-finished, wide-plank behavior, and exactly how each choice will look and perform in your home for the next 30+ years.

  • In-house planning with a dedicated installation team.

  • One accountable team for layout, installation, stairs, and transitions.

  • Owner oversight from first walkthrough to final detail.

  • Clean transitions and tight finish details planned up front.

Jason invited us to his shop, sent samples home with us, and his team finished the entire upstairs hallway and stairs in just one week — perfect before our furniture arrived. Exceptional workmanship!

How We Keep Your Project Predictable

Big-box flooring often creates handoffs. We built a process that keeps accountability in one place.

No Finger-Pointing

One company owns the plan, the schedule, and the final result. If something needs attention, you get answers, not handoffs.

You work with flooring professionals who know the job inside and out and stay with you through selection, layout, and finish decisions.

No Revolving Sales Clerks

Stairs and Transitions

We plan the layout, stairs, and transitions early so you’re not surprised mid-project. Cleaner finish details, fewer delays. And yes, our reviews reflect it.

Private Showroom Experience

See and touch full-size samples in our private Lenexa showroom. We’ll even send your top choices home with you so you can test them with your lighting, paint, and furniture before ordering — no guessing.

Hardwood Selection Guide

Explore the options we recommend most often for Kansas City Metro homes.

Topic
What it means
Best fit
Solid vs Engineered
Solid is one-piece real hardwood that can be sanded and refinished many times (often 5–10+). Engineered is a real hardwood top layer over a stable core.
Solid for many main levels. Engineered for stability over concrete, basements, and wider planks.
Prefinished vs Site-Finished
Prefinished boards are finished at the factory. Site-finished floors are installed raw then stained and finished on-site
Prefinished for speed and durability. Site-finished for a seamless look and custom stain matching for your new floor.
Species and Look
Species determines color, grain pattern, hardness, and how well the floor hides daily scratches from pets and traffic.
Oak for classic KC homes. Maple for modern/high-traffic areas. Hickory or walnut for rustic character that hides wear.
Grade and Character
Select grade is clean and uniform. Character grade includes natural knots and variation for a warm, lived-in look.
Select for calm, modern spaces. Character for rustic, farmhouse, or active homes where variation hides wear.
Plank Width and Layout
Wider planks (5–8"+) look premium but require precise subfloor prep and careful layout planning.
Great for open floor plans. We plan direction, transitions, and stairs so it feels continuous and intentional.
Finish and Sheen
Matte and satin hide day-to-day wear better than high gloss. Texture can add grip and durability.
Most KC homes choose matte or satin for a clean look and lower maintenance.
Stairs and Transitions
Nosings, landings, and room transitions affect safety, flow, and the finished polished look.
We plan stairs and transitions early so everything matches and the install stays clean and consistent.

Hardwood Installation FAQ

Straight answers about prep, moisture, layout, stairs, and transitions.

Are your prices competitive?

Yes. We stay competitive on both the product and the installation. Final pricing depends on the build you choose and the real-world details of your home, especially prep, stairs, and transitions. We keep scope clear so you can compare apples to apples.

What information do you need for an accurate quote?

The basics help us start: project areas, existing floor type, approximate square footage, and whether stairs or transitions are involved. From there we confirm subfloor condition, moisture, layout direction, and installation approach.

Solid vs engineered, which should I choose?

Solid is one-piece wood and can be sanded in the future. Engineered is real hardwood over a stable core and is often a better choice for basements, concrete, or wider planks. We guide you based on your home and the look you want.

Prefinished vs site-finished, what is the difference?

Prefinished boards are finished at the factory. Site-finished floors are sanded and finished after installation for a more seamless look. We recommend the right approach based on your goals, schedule, and layout.

Do you match existing hardwood or tie into older floors?

Often, yes. Matching involves species, width, grade, and finish. We assess what is realistic once we see the existing floor and lighting in your home and plan the transition details carefully.

How do you prevent squeaks, gaps, or movement later?

It starts with the subfloor. We evaluate flatness, fastening, and moisture conditions, then choose the right installation method and layout plan so the floor can move naturally without noise or surprises.

What about stairs and transitions?

This is one of our specialties. We plan stairs, landings, and transitions up front so the layout feels continuous and the finish details are clean, consistent, and safe.

Do you move furniture?

We confirm what needs to be moved and what you prefer to handle. Some projects are simple clears, others require a staged plan by room. We keep it straightforward and clearly defined before installation begins.

Refinished & Extended Hardwood

Refinished & Extended

Jason and his team did a fantastic job... All Dimensions did an amazing job of interlacing the new white oak wood with the old white old wood floors - we can’t tell where the new and old begin. They also changed the color of our existing wood floors and again it’s impossible to tell where the old wood stain was. We love the new color of our wood floors.
