What we do

Hardwood Floor Services in Peoria, IL

Installation

Solid and engineered hardwood, nail-down, glue-down, or floating — with proper acclimation so boards don't gap in January or cup in July. Custom borders and matching new wood to old are our specialty.

Hardwood installation →

Refinishing & Sanding

Dust-contained sanding and premium finishes that make a 60-year-old floor look new — for a fraction of replacement cost. Re-coats and deep cleaning too.

Refinishing & sanding →

Repair & Patching

Water damage, pet stains, cracked boards, squeaks. We weave new boards into old floors so the repair disappears, then blend the finish to match.

Since 1909

A Century of Peoria Hardwood

Bob Kelch Floors has been sanding, laying, and saving hardwood floors in Peoria since 1909. That history isn't a slogan — it's the reason we can match wood in a 1920s bungalow on Moss Avenue, weave a repair into a floor we may have installed decades ago, and tell you honestly when a floor needs a re-coat instead of an expensive refinish.

  • Dust-contained sanding equipment — your house stays livable
  • Premium finishes, in the sheen and stain you choose
  • Showroom on War Memorial Drive, inside Columbia Rug Carpet One
