Why All Dimensions
How to Buy a Floor in the Kansas City Metro
Nobody dreams of a pile of boards.
There are only a few ways to buy a floor. Here is what actually happens with each, including the parts the sales floor leaves out.
Some companies sell materials. All Dimensions sells floors.
Big box stores
You Know the Store. Do You Know Who Installs the Floor?
The trust you have in a big box store is earned. Years of paint, lumber, light fixtures, and Saturday mornings will do that. For most of what they sell, the trust is well placed. A hammer does not need to be installed.
A floor does. And here is the part you cannot see from the aisle: the store sells the floor, and a different company installs it. The person at the display wall, the person who measures your rooms, and the crew that shows up weeks later usually work for separate organizations. The famous name on the building is the seller. The work itself belongs to companies you have probably not heard of.
The person at the display wall is there to sell what is on the wall. Nothing about the job requires them to have installed a floor, and nothing about a conversation at a kiosk tells them what is under yours: the subfloor, the moisture, the light, the transitions, how your rooms actually get used.
The installer typically works from a fixed scope and is paid by the job. Stairs, transitions, and odd rooms can turn up on installation day as change orders rather than plans.
What is under your old floor? There is no good way to know until it comes up. In this model, the discovery lands on an installer with a fixed work order, a schedule to keep, and a store process to call. Many homeowners find themselves coordinating a conversation between two parties who have not met.
Who decides what happens when the old floor comes up and reveals something no one expected?

A Stack of Boxes on a Pallet Is Not a Floor
Online flooring sellers compete on price per square foot, and the number can look terrific. What it buys is boxes.
You order from a photo and a sample the size of a coaster. What arrives is a pallet, and pallets are where the surprises live: color variation, grain you did not expect, and boards that vary from box to box and read differently than the sample did. Sending that much material back usually means restocking fees and freight, which is why so few pallets make the round trip.
The installation is yours to arrange. Some sellers offer referral lists, but the company that sold the material has no stake in the installation, and the installer has no stake in the material. If the old floor comes up and reveals a problem that makes your purchase wrong for the job, there is no one to call. The pallet is already in your garage.
Same question, worse answer. Here, when the surprise comes up, there is no one who owns it.

What Is Left When You Rule Those Out
Companies that sell finished floors: one firm that looks at your house, advises on what fits it, installs with its own crew, and answers for the result. The person you talk with before you buy has laid floors.
No one can see under a floor before it comes up. Including us. What differs is who is standing there when it does. In this model, the company that sold you the new floor is the one deciding what to do about the old one.
All Dimensions is not the only company in the Kansas City metro that works this way. There are others, and some of them are good. If you have ruled out buying materials and started comparing flooring companies, here is why we think it should be us.
What homeowners wrote
Claims Are Free. Reviews Are Evidence.
Every flooring company will tell you it is trustworthy, and so will we. Which is why we would rather point you at something we do not control.
As of July 2026, All Dimensions has 227 five-star reviews on Google. Read past the numbers, which tell you the work went well. The homeowner tells you what happened.
Jason's name comes up throughout our reviews, usually for the same two reasons: people like working with him, and they end up with the floor they hoped for.
This review describes a project that started somewhere else, quoted exactly as the homeowner wrote it:
he listened to my frustrations, stepped in, and made sure the rest of my flooring project was completed
Jason and his team are absolutely amazing! Another company left me hanging when they stopped showing up because their flooring supplier didn't have the exact color end caps they had started with. Most of the other companies I contacted didn't want to deal with it, except Jason—he listened to my frustrations, stepped in, and made sure the rest of my flooring project was completed instead of being drawn out for what had been over a month at that point. Not only did they finish the job, but they did it impeccably, even going the extra mile to carefully match the end caps to my stair treads. I couldn't be happier with the results! Highly recommend!

Competitive Without Being Cheap
All Dimensions runs one company with its own crew, and an appointment-only showroom in Lenexa. When you visit, it is open because you booked it. That means the time is yours, the conversation is about your project, and there is no sales staff on the clock waiting for walk-ins. The structure keeps the conversation focused and the overhead low, and both of those show up in the same place: what a finished floor costs you.
That is the claim we make on price. Not the cheapest square foot in the Kansas City metro. The most floor for the money, priced as a finished project, with the questions answered before the work starts instead of after the boxes arrive.
Whoever you end up choosing, you know the questions that matter: who advises, who installs, who answers when the old floor comes up, and what the finished project costs. Ask them of anyone. We would be glad if you asked them of us.
