What affects the price

The size of the area being covered and how much prep work the subfloor needs will also play a role. If your rooms have complex layouts or lots of corners, that often adds labor time. Every home is unique, so we help you get an exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

Installing hardwood means putting down natural, solid wood planks that can be sanded and stained. You need this if you want a long-term flooring solution that can be restored multiple times. We handle everything from acclimating the wood to your home's humidity to the final protective coat. It is a significant investment that adds warmth and durability to any room. We ensure the wood is laid correctly to prevent squeaks and movement as the seasons change.

Frequently asked in Atlanta

What is the best flooring for the money in Atlanta?

For value in Atlanta, consider options like engineered hardwood or high-quality vinyl plank. These can mimic the look of solid hardwood but often come at a lower price point, especially for larger areas in the city. The pros can walk you through the pros and cons based on your specific needs.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring?

The 1-3 rule generally refers to the 1-inch expansion gap needed around the perimeter of a wood floor, with a 3-inch gap for engineered wood. This allows the material to expand and contract with changes in humidity, which is crucial in Atlanta's climate. Proper installation prevents buckling and damage.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate?

Vinyl plank often wins in water resistance, making it a great choice for kitchens and basements in humid Atlanta. Laminate can offer a more realistic wood look at a lower cost. The pros can help you decide which is best for the specific room and your lifestyle.

What type of flooring is most popular now?

Right now, LVP (luxury vinyl plank) and engineered hardwood are incredibly popular. They offer durability, water resistance, and a wide range of realistic wood and stone looks. These are excellent choices for busy Atlanta households.

What is the cheapest but best flooring?

For a balance of cost and quality, look at laminate or a budget-friendly LVP. While not as premium as solid hardwood, these can still offer a fantastic aesthetic and good durability for Atlanta homes. Get a quote to see the best value options.
