According to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2024 1-year), the median Olathe home was built in 1997; 23% of homes were built before 1980 and 2% before 1940. Olathe’s housing is younger than most of the Kansas City area, so engineered flooring over slab is common in newer neighborhoods, while older homes near the original town center are more likely to have solid hardwood under later flooring. Checking under the current floor is the only way to know before choosing between refinishing and replacing.

In homes built before 1978, any paid work that disturbs paint, such as removing painted baseboards or trim, falls under federal lead-safe rules, which Kansas runs through its own state program.

Do lead-safe rules apply to a flooring job in an older Olathe home?
