Kelly's Flooring showroom serving Kirkwood

Your Trusted Flooring Partner in Kirkwood

Kirkwood is one of the most architecturally distinct communities in the St. Louis region — a National Historic Landmark city with tree-lined streets, a thriving downtown, and residential neighborhoods ranging from Craftsman bungalows built in the 1920s to mid-century ranches to contemporary infill construction. Kelly's Flooring has been serving Kirkwood homeowners since 1978, and we understand how important it is to choose flooring that honors each home's individual character.

The most rewarding work we do in Kirkwood is uncovering and restoring original hardwood floors — red oak, white oak, and occasionally maple or fir — that have been hidden under carpet for decades. Many Kirkwood bungalows in Westchester, Downtown Kirkwood, and North Kirkwood have floors in surprisingly good condition once the carpet comes up. We sand, repair damaged boards, fill gaps, and apply a finish that can be traditional amber polyurethane or a modern matte, depending on the homeowner's preference. Where original floors can't be saved, we source matching species and plank width to maintain period-appropriate proportions.

For Kirkwood kitchen and bathroom remodels, we work closely with general contractors and designers to select tile or LVP that complements the home's vintage character. Subway tile, hexagonal mosaic floors, and large-format porcelain are all popular choices that honor Kirkwood's aesthetic while providing modern performance. Our in-home consultations make it easy to see how materials will look in your specific Kirkwood home before making any decisions.

Recent Project in Kirkwood

Refinished 850 sq ft of original 1930s red oak hardwood in a Downtown Kirkwood bungalow. The floors had been hidden under carpet for 30 years. We repaired damaged boards in the kitchen doorway, filled gaps, sanded to bare wood, and applied a natural finish with satin polyurethane to showcase the wood's original grain and patina.

Flooring Recommendations for Kirkwood Homes

Kirkwood is one of the most architecturally charming communities in the St. Louis area, with many homes dating from the 1920s–1960s. These older homes almost always have original hardwood floors — sometimes in excellent condition under old carpet, sometimes in need of repair and refinishing. We specialize in Kirkwood hardwood restoration: matching species, filling gaps, repairing water-damaged boards, and refinishing to match the home's period character. For Kirkwood bungalows and Cape Cods with small rooms, lighter stain colors and consistent flooring throughout help open up the space. Many Kirkwood homeowners updating their kitchens are choosing large-format porcelain tile or waterproof LVP to replace dated linoleum or vinyl, especially in the Westchester and North Kirkwood neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kirkwood

Can you restore original hardwood floors in my Kirkwood home?

Yes — this is one of our most requested services in Kirkwood. Many homes from the 1920s–1960s have beautiful red or white oak floors under carpet or in need of refinishing. We sand, repair, stain, and finish to bring them back to life while preserving their historic character.

What flooring matches the character of a Kirkwood bungalow?

For Kirkwood bungalows, we typically recommend restoring existing hardwood or installing new 2¼-inch strip oak to match period-appropriate proportions. For kitchens and baths, hexagonal mosaic tile or subway tile honors the home's vintage aesthetic.

Do you install flooring in Kirkwood during kitchen or bath remodels?

Yes, we coordinate with general contractors and kitchen/bath designers throughout Kirkwood. We handle flooring installation as part of larger remodels, timing our work to fit the project schedule. We can also remove old flooring, level subfloors, and install transitions to adjacent rooms.

What's the best flooring for a Kirkwood home with radiant heat?

Some older Kirkwood homes have radiant heat systems. Engineered hardwood and tile are the best options over radiant heat — both conduct warmth efficiently and are dimensionally stable at elevated temperatures. We verify system compatibility before selecting materials.

How much does hardwood refinishing cost in Kirkwood?

Hardwood refinishing in Kirkwood typically runs $3.50–5.50/sq ft depending on the condition of the floors, number of coats, and stain selection. Custom stain matching and repairs add to the cost. We provide free on-site assessments and detailed estimates for every Kirkwood refinishing project.
