Since my original review in 2015, I've used Kimminau Wood Floors over and over again. We've recommended them to anyone and everyone we know needing floors refinished. They've done nothing but prove to be the TOP flooring company in all of the KC metro. Since my original review, they've completed three more homes for me. Each one was done splendidly. Their professionalism and workmanship is beyond my expectation each and every time. This last house, the "tipping point" for the buyer.... the gorgeous floors. I've raved about them in 2015, I've raved about them since then and will continue to sing their praises any chance I get. They are the company I immediately go to when I need anything in the world of wood floors. We do not call for other estimates, we do not 'shop around', we go directly to Ben knowing he will absolutely provide the highest quality service, without question. If anything is misunderstood or needs to be course corrected, Ben will make it happen, without question. Stop your search here and call Kimminau today. Ben - thanks again man for yet so many more *AMAZING* flooring results! read more

Exceedingly rude and overpriced. Believes he is a high professional but then uses vulgar language. If we were gave to face would not have been the same conversation or one or both of us would now be incarcerated. In short not what you look for when you are already stressed out about paying thousands to have your home redone. read more

We used Kimminau to refinish our floors before moving in. Overall work was fine, though there were definitely some areas of fill that either didn't need to be filled (the receivers for our french doors) or could have been done to look a little better and they didn't keep our quarter-round sorted and labeled as they said they would. The real complaint is with the owner and his lack of professionalism. After waiting for a repair for weeks to complete the job and were canceled on twice we finally moved forward with our renovations for that room and the flooring was covered. We couldn't move into our home until we did this so we did wait as long as possible. Received some real nice emails and voicemails from the owner (which I would be happy to share) claiming we are horrible people etc. His tune changed when he discovered the entire delay was on their shoulders, not ours. You get what you pay for and I would choose a different company next time. read more

Kimminau Wood Floors has has everything I was looking for in a flooring contractor: professional, responsive communicators; progressive in their use and offering of innovative flooring products; streamlined scheduling/communication/estimating/invoicing software; and top-tier, detail-oriented craftsmen. We love how our floors turned out and could not be happier that we hired Kimminau. Would recommend Ben and John to anyone, homeowner or general contractor alike. Our house is a small starter house, in which we're doing nearly all of the renovation work ourselves. We initially refinished our 600+sf of 1960 red oak floors ourselves, and while we did a good novice job, after living on them a year, we wanted them to look nicer than we could technically accomplish with our experience level and rental machines. What forced the decision was we wanted a different finish product that would stand up to our two large dogs better, and decided on a different color stain. We knew that having these floors done professionally would likely be our single biggest home remodeling expenditure. Because they truly tie everything else together, it would be worth it, for our enjoyment and to create value for eventual sale. Totally worth it. When we were researching flooring contractors for our hardwood refinish job, we gravitated toward Kimminau because they were one of the only companies with experience using Rubio Monocoat, an innovative, fairly forward-thinking product from Belgium. After meeting Ben at our home, we trusted him so much that we actually asked him to guide us in another direction from Monocoat, with a different finish product to create more resilience and longer life until next required maintenance. We went with a commercial water-based urethane product that offered three-coats of protection over a stain of our choosing. The super-thin layers are barely visible on the wood. NOTE: BE CAREFUL AND DO THOROUGH RESEARCH ON THE TECHNIQUES AND PITFALLS OF DYI ON A HARDWOOD REFINISH PROJECT. It is a lot of very physical work, not cheap to rent potentially faulty or ill-maintained rental equipment, and you may likely have to call a professional anyway to fix it if you don't get them right! Drum sanders and orbital sanders can do crazy damage in seconds, and incorrectly staining your newly sanded floor can create problems that may undo hours of your work. If you must or have economically chose to DYI, check out Rubio Monocoat finish options and Pete's Hardwood Floors of Minnisota as a comprehensive and easy-to-understand online reference: https://www.peteshardwoodfloors.com/Wood-Floor-Techniques-101/sanding-your-floors.html Having worked in the residential building industry for over six years, including as a superintendent at a remodeling company whose job it was to hire subcontractors (like floor companies), I was initially uncomfortable with--at least as far as our due diligence--not getting quotes from any other flooring company. Not working in that capacity now, and from New York, I didn't have local companies I trusted on deck. Reading the reviews here helped! The combined confidence that Kimminau's price seemed consistent with our job size and level of quality discussed with Ben, the outstanding and dustless! machines they use--like the unparalleled German Lagler trio (three disc)--to get the very best result, and trust in his industry knowledge sealed our decision. The process was so dustless that we left our bed in our small tiled kitchen to sleep in the night before we flew out, and the day that we returned! No dust on our comforter, which was literally one foot away from the edge they were sanding. We returned to stunning, gleaming floors that looked incredible. In spite of loving the finish, smoothness across boards, and color, I noticed a few spots of concern and contacted Ben, the day we returned, on a Saturday. He showed up the next day--as arranged, on a Sunday morning--and listened to my concerns, assured me, and then did a bunch of micro fixes to the top coat right then in his stocking feet for about an hour. He resolved the issues, which ended up being superficial finish imperfections that I was seeing with a spotlight, a foot away from the floor. At little embarrassed for being so so picky, but relieved, my concerns were gone and my wife and I were utterly happy with both the product and the service. I have learned, on both the business and the customer-side of an issue, that a problem approached right and solved well, actually elevates that company to a more trusted and preferred status that if the did everything exactly right the first time. Very much feel this way about Kimminau. Kimminau is easily the best company I've dealt with out of dozens of subcontractors I've met working in the industry. We will use them in our next house and tell everyone about them. Professional contractors. True craftsmen. Trustworthy. 100% RECOMMENDED. read more

Hardwood flooring is a huge investment! Don't trust your money or your home to anyone other than the guys at Kimminau. There's a reason why they have countless great reviews on Google and Yelp. They've earned them by being responsive, courteous, professional craftsmen. From taking the time to explain their process to the extra effort to make sure we were happy with the color and extra attention to detail around our stone fireplace, they had our very best interest in mind! Couldn't be more pleased with the new investment in our forever home! read more

We recently finished up a project with Kimminau Flooring and could NOT be happier. Part of our home had original 1940's hardwoods that needed to be restored, while the other needed new installation. The Kimminau team showed up on time every morning, and kept our home as tidy and "livable" as possible (which was greatly appreciated!) The guys were always very friendly and respectful of our home. They stuck to the exact timeline that was discussed, and left us with gorgeous hardwoods! The new install matches perfectly to the original floors. John and Ben made the process so easy, from start to finish. They were always available if I had questions along the way, and even came back to fix a scratch we accidentally made from moving our furniture back in! They are simply the best! read more

We are thrilled with the way our floors look after Kimminau refinished them. We were given a good price and they came when they said they would. The guys were professional and friendly. They explained what they were doing and what we needed to do to protect the floors. I have never written a review for anyone, but these people are so good I wanted to tell everyone! read more

This is the second time we have used Kimminau to do a project. They never disappoint. High quality workmanship at a reasonable price. Ben and John, the brothers who own the firm, are detail oriented craftsmen. This is not a second choice but rather a first choice if you want your floors refinished OR wish new flooring. They work in many up scale and classic neighborhoods and enjoy pleasing their clients. read more
