Hardwood refinishing and professional flooring installation across the Kansas City metro. Locally owned and operated, with personal attention from the first conversation to the finishing touches.
You shouldn’t have to figure out flooring on your own. Whether you’re updating a well-loved home, moving in, or preparing a property for sale, we’ll help you compare practical options for your space and budget.
Talk directly with Rafael from the first conversation. We look at the existing floor, discuss your goals, and explain the preparation and finishing details before you make a decision.

Rafael and his wife · The family behind Oakron Flooring
Meet Rafael, Founder of Oakron Flooring
“Every home deserves work done with care.”
A passion for homes. A personal commitment to yours.
I’m Rafael, founder of Oakron Flooring. In Brazil, I spent five years helping hundreds of clients buy, sell, and rent homes, apartments, and buildings along the coast with one of the country’s largest property companies. That experience taught me to listen closely, communicate clearly, and understand the care people put into their homes.
After coming to the United States to study, I began a different kind of work with homes: installing floors and refinishing hardwood. My passion for homes became hands-on, helping homeowners transform the spaces they live in every day.
Today, my wife and I are building Oakron as a long-term family business in the Kansas City metro. You’ll work directly with me, with a clear scope, straightforward communication, and respect for your home throughout the project.
We want you to feel confident in the process and proud of the finished result. Seeing you enjoy your new floors is what makes the work worthwhile.
We’re always interested in connecting with skilled flooring installers and refinishing professionals in the Kansas City area who take pride in their craft. Tell Rafael about your experience, the services you offer, and your availability. Photos of your work are welcome.
From choosing a finish to fitting the last transition, the details matter. We help you build a plan that makes sense for your home and the way you live.

Don’t see your community listed? Give us a call to ask about your project.
Yes. Oakron Flooring LLC carries insurance. Ask Rafael about the coverage relevant to your project before work begins.
How long will the work take, and when can I use my floors?
Timing depends on the area, preparation, installation method, and finish. We discuss the schedule before work begins. For refinishing, we explain drying and curing guidance for your chosen finish, including when to walk on the floor and return furniture or rugs.
Can you help me decide between refinishing and replacing?
Yes. We assess the wood’s condition, wear, and remaining sanding surface, then discuss what can be restored and what may need replacement. You can also compare new flooring options to suit your goals and budget.
Can you refinish my existing hardwood?
We can assess the floor’s condition and whether it has enough wood remaining for sanding. Share photos to start; an in-person assessment may be needed to confirm the scope.
Do you install LVP, laminate, and engineered hardwood?
Yes. Oakron offers solid hardwood, engineered hardwood, LVP, laminate, and carpet installation. We’ll discuss the product requirements and subfloor preparation for your project.
Are flooring materials included in the estimate?
Our hardwood refinishing price includes stain, polyurethane, sanding supplies, and standard equipment. New flooring installation is labor only unless stated otherwise. Flooring, trim materials, underlayment, and moisture barriers are identified separately in your estimate.
Can you help with baseboards, shoe molding, and transitions?
Yes. We can discuss removal and installation of trim, caulking, and transition pieces as part of your project. Materials, disposal, and other services are specified in the estimate.
How much will my flooring project cost?
Price depends on the area, layout, existing floor, preparation, material, and services required. Send a brief description and your approximate square footage so we can discuss the next step.
Do I need to move my furniture?
We’ll discuss access and furniture before scheduling. If heavy furniture needs additional people to move it, a separate fee may apply. Let us know about pianos, heavy beds, or other large items.
