Our Restoration Services
Our parquet floor restoration services bring new life to historic and modern parquet flooring through a comprehensive approach.
Assessment and Consultation
We begin every restoration project with a thorough assessment of your parquet flooring. Our experts carefully examine the condition of each wooden block, identifying loose pieces, water damage, scratches, and other issues that require attention.
During this initial consultation, we discuss your expectations and preferences for the finished floor. This includes color options, sheen levels, and any specific concerns you might have about the restoration process.
Repair and Stabilization
The repair phase focuses on addressing structural issues to ensure your parquet flooring remains beautiful and functional for years to come. We carefully remove damaged wood blocks that cannot be salvaged and replace them with matching pieces that blend seamlessly with the original pattern.
For parquet floors with significant gaps, we utilize specialized wood fillers that match the surrounding wood grain and color. Water-damaged areas receive special attention, with our team employing moisture mitigation techniques to prevent further deterioration.
Sanding and Refinishing
Our sanding process removes years of wear, old finishes, and surface damage to reveal the pristine wood beneath. We use professional-grade equipment with dust containment systems to minimize mess in your home.
The sanding progression involves multiple passes with increasingly finer grits. This methodical approach ensures a perfectly smooth surface while preserving the intricate patterns that make parquet flooring special.
Custom Staining and Finishing Options
We offer a wide range of staining options to achieve your desired look. From rich mahogany tones to light natural finishes, our custom color matching ensures your parquet floor complements your interior design.
Our finish types include:
- Water-based polyurethane (low odor, quick drying)

- Hardwax oils (natural appearance, easy spot repairs)

The Restoration Process
Our parquet floor restoration process combines time-tested techniques with modern equipment to breathe new life into your tired wooden floors. Each step is carefully executed by our skilled craftsmen to ensure the highest quality results.
1. Initial Floor Inspection
At Kansas City Flooring Company, we begin every restoration project with a thorough assessment of your parquet floor. Our specialists examine the extent of damage, noting issues like loose blocks, scratches, or water damage.
We use moisture meters to check for dampness that could affect restoration success. These readings help us determine if a drying period is necessary before work begins.
Our team also identifies the wood species and original pattern of your parquet flooring. This knowledge ensures we match any replacement pieces perfectly to maintain the floor's authentic character.
2. Parquet Floor Repairs
Before sanding begins, we address all structural issues with your parquet flooring. Loose blocks are secured using appropriate adhesives specifically formulated for wooden floors.
Missing or severely damaged pieces are replaced with matching wood. We maintain an extensive inventory of traditional parquet materials to ensure authentic replacements.
For floors with significant gaps, we apply specialized fillers that flex with your floor's natural movement. This prevents future cracking and ensures a seamless appearance.
3. Professional Sanding Techniques
Our sanding process utilizes industrial-grade equipment with dust containment systems to maintain clean air quality in your home. We begin with coarse-grit papers to remove old finishes and level the surface.
Multiple sanding passes with progressively finer grits ensure a perfectly smooth surface. This careful approach preserves the character of your parquet while removing damage.
Our Three-Step Sanding Process:
- Initial sanding (36-40 grit) - Removes finishes and evens the surface
- Medium sanding (60-80 grit) - Refines the surface and removes scratches
- Fine sanding (100-120 grit) - Creates a smooth foundation for finishing
4. Protective Finishing Coats
After thorough cleaning to remove all sanding dust, we apply high-quality finishes that protect and enhance your parquet floor. We offer several finish options based on your traffic needs and aesthetic preferences.
Available Finish Options:
- Polyurethane (high durability, various sheens)
- Oil-based finishes (traditional look, easy touch-ups)
- Hard wax oils (natural appearance, environmentally friendly)
We typically apply 3-4 coats, allowing proper drying time between applications. The final coat is buffed to your desired sheen level—matte, satin, or gloss.
