We recently had a mishap where a contractor mistakenly drilled a large hole right into the middle of our hardwood floor. The damage was not only unsightly but also felt impossible to repair without replacing boards or leaving behind a noticeable patch.Enter Ozark Flooring... we couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were outstanding. They carefully assessed the situation, removed the damaged section, and seamlessly repaired the area.The result? You would never know there was ever a hole there in the first place. The stain, grain, and finish match perfectly, and the repair blends in so flawlessly that it looks like the floor was never touched. The level of skill and pride they put into their work is rare to find.I can confidently say that Ozark Flooring turned what felt like a disaster into a complete success. If you want true experts who care about the quality of their work and their customers, I highly recommend Ozark Flooring.

I cannot rave enough about the work the Ozark team did for us. Our project was the railing and floors and they crushed it. They communicated great during the whole process and ensured we understood where the process stood the entire time. I will and have already recommended them for others who may need similar work done. 5 star A+ job from the entire team. This project was not easy given our previous floors weren’t completed right and Ozark took a frustrating situation and truly reformed the entire downstairs of our home. You will not be disappointed trusting your flooring or railing project with Ozark.

Amazing company! This is the 3rd time we have used Ozark and I will continue to use them because they do great work and the owner, Terry, stands behind their work 100%. They sanded and refinished about 800 sqft of hardwood floor that I was certain would need to be replaced due to water damage (staining and buckling), and 20 years of large dog wear and tear). They got everything lying flat again and you couldn't tell that there was every any damage. The original solid hardwood floors looked like new (and still do 3 years later)!When I moved, Ozark put in engineered hardwood in my new house and it is beautiful. They are amazingly durable and even after 3 years of dogs running on them, they still look great!Just moved again and Ozark bent over backwards working with me and other contractors to make my remodel go as smoothly as possible. Ozark may not be the cheapest company out there, but Terry and his team are WELL worth the money for their outstanding work and for Terry's word/guarantee! Thank you Terry, to you and your team!

We’ve used Ozark now on several projects, both in our personal home and in development projects. Their product selection and quality, workmanship and attention to detail, as well as their competitive prices make them our #1 go to for wood flooring in the region. Friendly and responsive. You’ll be happy with their work!

I’ve got to give a huge shout out to Ozark Flooring. Our hot water heater flooded our second and first floors and our hardwoods were damaged. If you are looking for a meticulous flooring company who knows what they are doing, Ozark Flooring is who you need to call. Terry is super nice and very knowledgeable. We had some areas replaced and then everything refinished in a different color to update the look of our home. We also wanted our staircases updated and stained to match. This included new solid red oak rail system and new balusters. This was a major home update for us and Terry was really helpful in walking us through the whole process and working around our other contractors. To say we are thrilled with our new floors and staircases would be an understatement! Terry and his crew made it easy. He’ll even come to you with a mobile showroom! Terry was also very easy to get in touch with and was available to address any questions and concerns we had asap. If you are considering adding new wood floors or need your existing wood floors refinished don’t hesitate to contact Ozark Flooring.

FANTASTIC experience with the Ozark team!! They brought the heart pine in our Victorian back to life and we are so happy with the results. Terry helped educate me on the process, Alexandra made scheduling and billing a breeze, and Jake’s team kept me updated the whole time. This whole process not only brought so much beauty to our home, but has helped me be a better homeowner and more knowledgeable about taking care of these floors going forward. Thanks a million, team!!

Ozark flooring did an amazing job, the installers (Jake and Jacob) were outstanding, showed up on time, cleaned up daily, went over everything in detail for that day and the next day. Ours was a very extensive install, the preparation for the floor install was top notch , these guys were very meticulous and their attention to detail was superb. I would definitely recommend Ozark Flooring to anyone looking to have floors installed. Terry and Alexandra run a great company. Thank you!

Ozark Flooring was the epitome of professionalism and flexibility throughout the purchasing and installation processes of my new LVP flooring. Terry and Ashley were both extremely courteous and informative while helping me determine “the best” product to meet my demand and desires. The mobile showroom was quite impressive and assisted in helping me narrow down the selections available “on the spot!” Alexandra was both courteous and responsive to my requests each time we spoke. And Jacob and Nick (the installers) were also both professional and informative on many levels. They communicated with me throughout the installation process to make sure I was in agreement with each phase of their work. I was totally satisfied with every recommendation they made. That being said, I would definitely recommend Ozark Flooring to anyone in the market to have flooring installed. I would honestly give them 10 stars if I could!

We highly recommend Ozark Flooring. We had old hardwood floors that not only needed to be refinished, but also had planks that needed to be replaced. The team was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable! They did an amazing job and we love our “new” floors.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ozark Flooring, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results! They sanded, stained and refinished the hardwood floors in my 1907 home which had seen better days. From the first consultation, it was clear that their team is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about their craft.The entire process was smooth, with clear communication every step of the way. They took great care in protecting the historical integrity of my home, and their attention to detail was remarkable. They provided multiple stain samples on the different species of wood floors around the home, so I could see how the stain settles differently depending on the type of wood. Jake and Jake worked diligently, and the outcome speaks for itself; my floors look absolutely stunning. I would 1000% recommend Ozark to anyone looking to put life back into their hardwood floors.

Terry and Alex and all the guys are super! Terry makes sure everything is right even after the work is complete and works very closely with the home owner. I’ve had my house done over a few years section by section, and I’ve met many of the workers. They are all hard workers and easy to talk with. I would not hesitate to give them a call!

Jake Hilbert is the Best of the Best in the hardwood floor industry. This is the 2nd time we have had work done by Jake and he delivers what he says he will do. His knowledge of the wood and staining is amazing !! 3 years ago Jake installed hardwood throughout our entire second floor and in our family room. This year he came back because we had water damage in our kitchen. He removed the damaged wood, installed new wood and then refinished all of our wood floors throughout our entire first floor and two staircases to match . We are beyond thrilled.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Couldn’t have asked for a better experience or end result!! It’s nerve wracking spending this amount of money on flooring for sure, go with Ozark and you won’t be disappointed from the walk through of your house to the mobile showroom they take care of every step. Their crews are not subs and truly care about the end product taking the time to answer questions and explain things whenever we asked. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ could not recommend more.

I recently had hardwood floors installed by Ozark Flooring, and the experience was excellent. Terry and Jake were standout professionals from start to finish. Terry expertly guided me through the selection process, ensuring I made an informed choice that perfectly suited my home. Jake and his team then executed the installation with remarkable skill and attention to detail. The end result is a stunning floor that has transformed my space. I highly recommend Ozark Flooring for their exceptional service and high-quality workmanship.

We had been putting off refinishing our 100 year old floors because we thought it was going to be a huge mess ie lots of dust and a hassle moving all the furniture. Ozark made the process so smooth and low stress! Terry was so knowledgeable about the products and what would work best for our floors and the guys that came and sanded and stained the floors were great! They put down a large sample of our two stain choices so that we could see what our floors would like. They were very helpful at directing us to the best color choice to cover some of the 100 year stains. The scratches are gone! And the stains have been removed or covered! The floors look amazing! And there wasn't any mess! Would highly recommend them.

We had Ozark come and replace all of the carpet in our common areas with an engineered hardwood and we are IN LOVE! They did such a beautiful job and the attention to detail is top tier. They really blew all of the big box stores out of the water as far as quality and we cannot recommend enough!!

Susan Lawler

I put this project off for a long time because I expected it to be such a hassle but as soon as Jake and Ozark came to give me an estimate things went as smooth as my new floors (and that’s very smooth!). They even helped me arrange for a storage unit and movers for my furniture. This whole project went off without a hitch from the moment I called for a quote (Alexandra is great and responded promptly every time) until the very end. You won’t be sorry!

My wife and I had Ozark Flooring installed our new flooring throughout the downstairs rooms in November 2023. Jimmy and Toby, our installers, did a super outstanding job. Our floor needed to be leveled before laying the wood floor. Jimmy showed me all of the unlevel areas where new flooring would be laid that wouldn't meet flooring laying specifications if the floor wasn't level prior to installing. This would cause the warranty not to be honored if there were any issues with the floor after it was installed. It cost more, but well worth the money. Our floors are level and looks fabulous. The whole Ozark Flooring organization from the owner Terry who brought his mobile show room truck to us and showed us the many beautiful samples of flooring to the Office Manager Alexandra, who was helpful in answering our questions, organizing/coordinating installation dates and was pleasant to speak to during the whole process from being to end. And lastly but not the least, Jimmy and Toby, our installers who are extremely knowledgeable and experienced in leveling and installing wood floors and baseboards. They were friendly. reliable, and dedicated in their work. We are extremely happy and 100% satisfied with our new floors. This was a great investment in updating our home with Ozark Flooring.

In nearly forty years of home ownership in many locations, we have rarely worked with a contractor who even comes close to Ozark. Honest, hardworking and talented, the team went the extra mile to ensure our complete satisfaction. I’d give them six stars if that were possible.

Ozark Flooring did an amazing job with our floor install. Terry and Alexandra were great to work with and we're definitely going with them at some point in the future to install flooring throughout the second floor of our home.Job took just over a week and their crew were on time and stayed late when needed. Very competitively priced (with Veteran discount) and Veteran owned.Looking forward to working with them in the near future on other flooring projects.Thanks again!!

We just had new engineered hardwood flooring installed in LR and DR, and had our Family Room refinished to match. They did an EXCELLENT job on installation and refinishing. Terry Woods’ mobile showroom made floor choices easy. He is so knowledgeable on all types of flooring. His installation crew, Jake and Jackson, were professional and meticulous. Jake takes great pride in his work. Although we encountered a few unforeseen hiccups in the process (floor leveling issues) Terry and Jake efficiently addressed and resolved our issue in a very timely manner. I would definitely use Ozark Floors again!

Terry was available for an appraisal of our floors shortly after I called. He asked about floor needs/concerns, pets etc. Gave me options best suited for us. Alexandra kept us well informed about scheduling, costs and any questions. Jake and Jackson were there on time and ready to work each day. Consulted me on stain options before completing the process. Even finished the job early. Everyone from start to finish was professional and very personable. Would highly recommend them.

We used Ozark Flooring to replace all our hardwood floors in our home. The Show Bus was an excellent tool to see all the options and allowed me to see them in my home. The team at Ozark Flooring is professional, hard working and so easy to be around. Their goal is truly for the customer to be 100% satisfied and that we are. We love our new floors and will absolutely recommend Ozark Flooring. It's great to work with a company that does exactly what they say they will, on time and with a great attitude.

My wood floors on 2 levels, staircase treads and staircase landing needed refinishing. Ozark Flooring was the only company in the 757 area that was willing to give me an estimate after about 8 other companies either refused to show up for their scheduled appointments with me or refused to actually deliver an estimate after their appointments with me. Terry Wood was readily available for an appointment, brought his great mobile showroom bus to my home and was willing & able to give an estimate before he left my home. I received a formal quote within 36 hours. In late April 2022, the wood was refinished and shoe moldings were replaced by an AWESOME guy named Andrew who was communicative about the progress and expectations and made sure to secure my home when he left each day. He also worked in a timely fashion. Two to three guys joined Andrew for 1-2 days and they all did awesome work and cleanup. All correspondence with Alexandra regarding the quote, scheduling, invoice & payment was professional and timely. If I need further assistance with my wood floors and stairs, I will absolutely be calling Ozark Flooring again. I have already referred someone else to them.

I cannot say enough about Terry and his team! From the first phone call we made through finishing the job, these guys were on their “A” Game! I’m not an easy person to please when hiring companies to do work in my home, but during our first meeting with Terry, I was so impressed with his professionalism and honest, friendly demeanor that I didn’t even bother getting additional estimates. That showroom bus is pretty genius too!! It allowed us to choose multiple samples and place them in our home when making a decision. HANDS DOWN, they are most professional team that I’ve ever hired for work in my home!! Fast, efficient, and clean, and they even finished ahead of schedule. Tried and true...do the right thing and pick Ozark for your next floor, you’ll be glad you did!!

Hiring a contractor can be very stressful. However, Terry made the process so easy. He brought the showroom bus to my home to pick out the flooring. His crew did an amazing job. They had to tear out old laminate flooring and replace with new flooring. They did it seamlessly. They were very professional, extremely clean and did exceptional work!
