Kennedale wood floors brought back by full sanding or a screen and recoat, whether it is postwar oak under old carpet or a prefinished floor from the 2010s.

Hardwood floor refinishing in Kennedale usually means one of two floors: oak in the town's older houses, sometimes hidden under carpet for decades, or prefinished wood in a home built since 2010 that is starting to show traffic lanes. The first usually needs a full sanding. The second may only need fresh coats.
If you want the full sanding process and a comparison of finishes, our main hardwood floor refinishing page covers both, along with cost factors. The notes below are specific to Kennedale's housing.
Oliver S. Kennedy platted the townsite in 1886, and for decades Kennedale stayed small. When residents voted to incorporate in July 1947, the town had about 300 people (City of Kennedale). Growth came quickly after that, helped by Fort Worth's defense plants, and the Handbook of Texas counts 1,046 residents by 1955. Census estimates still count about 300 Kennedale homes built in the 1950s and close to 500 built before 1970. Some houses from those years have oak strip flooring, and some of it has spent decades under carpet or vinyl. Whether a given floor can take another sanding depends on how much wood earlier refinishing left above the tongue, which we measure before quoting.
The newer group is much larger. Homes from the 2010s that came with prefinished hardwood are now ten years or more into daily use, and the finish usually wears through first in the kitchen and at the entry. Engineered planks are the tricky part: some have enough real wood on top for a sanding and some do not, so we look at a cut edge or the product records before we quote.
Before any sanding starts, your Kennedale refinishing quote puts these items in writing:
Why choose us
1947
year Kennedale voted to incorporate (City of Kennedale)
Floors laid in the years after Kennedale incorporated often carry decades of history: face nails, filled gaps, paint along the walls and boards patched where a floor furnace or wall once stood. We point each one out during the assessment and say which marks a sanding will remove and which will stay as part of the floor's age.
4%
max moisture gap NWFA allows for strip flooring under 3 in.
Where stained or broken boards come out, the new strips need to sit close to the moisture of the floor around them, within 4 percent for strip under 3 inches wide under NWFA guidance. We acclimate replacement oak in your house and weave it in before sanding, so the patch sands flat and takes stain along with the rest.
Family-owned

A full sanding costs more than a recoat, takes longer and removes wood you cannot get back. If your floor only needs a screen and fresh coats, we will say so. As a family-owned crew working under License #238190 with full insurance, we would rather keep your trust than sell a bigger job. You get the price in writing, item by item, and can ask about financing.

FAQ
It is worth checking. Pull back the carpet in a closet corner, or remove a floor register and look at the edge of the opening. Many houses from that era were built with oak strip flooring, though some were later covered with tile, vinyl or particleboard. The free assessment will tell you whether it is thick enough to sand.
Often it does not. If the dullness is in the finish and the wood is not scratched through or graying, a screen and recoat can restore the sheen, with a bonding step that some factory finishes need. Deep scratches, worn-through spots and pet stains call for sanding, which depends on the engineered wear layer.
