According to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2024 1-year), the median Overland Park home was built in 1990; 35% of homes were built before 1980 and 1% before 1940. A house’s age is a first clue to what is under the current flooring: older homes are more likely to have solid hardwood under carpet or vinyl, newer ones engineered flooring or slab. The only reliable answer comes from looking under the floor before choosing between refinishing and replacing.
In homes built before 1978, any paid work that disturbs paint, such as removing painted baseboards or trim during a flooring job, falls under federal lead-safe rules, which Kansas runs through its own state program.
