If you are looking to sell home in Raymore or Belton, you likely have a checklist of ‘to-dos’ to get your property market-ready. As a local real estate authority, I am often asked: ‘Which remodel projects actually put more money back in my pocket at the closing table?

While kitchens and baths are great, there is one upgrade that impacts every single room a buyer walks through: the flooring. To help my clients get the absolute best results, I recently headed over to Willowind Square to interview the experts for my “Highlight My Town” business spotlight series: Paramount Flooring.


📽️ Highlight My Town Spotlight: Paramount Flooring

I interviewed owners Kevin and Jessica Kroski to get the inside scoop on what makes a floor “market-ready.” They’ve lived in Raymore most of their lives and have been in the custom hardwood business for over 20 years. They truly understand the “bones” of the homes in our community.

Expert Insights from our Interview:

  • Jessica’s Trend Watch: Jessica noted that the “natural wood look” and lighter tones are dominating the market right now. They even have a specific floor called “Invisible” that is incredibly popular. For sellers, these lighter tones make rooms feel larger, brighter, and more modern in listing photos.

  • Basements & High-Traffic Areas: For lower levels or kids’ spaces, Jessica recommends LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) in those same lighter colors. It’s waterproof and durable, giving that high-end look without the high-end price tag.

  • Kevin’s Quality Standard: Kevin emphasized that their quality is “Paramount.” They specialize in everything from prefinished engineered wood to custom sand-and-finish jobs. More importantly, they provide a team of installers you can trust around your family and your home.
