Revitalize Your Home: The Ultimate Guide to Flooring Options in Atlanta

They say the foundation of a beautiful home starts from the ground up, and quite literally, your floors are the canvas upon which your entire interior design is built. Whether you are walking into a historic bungalow in Marietta or a modern new build in Alpharetta, the condition and style of your flooring set the tone for every room. But with so many options available today - from the timeless elegance of hardwood to the modern durability of Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) - making the right choice can feel overwhelming.

At Floors Done, we believe that upgrading your floors shouldn’t be a stressful chore; it should be an exciting transformation. As a family-owned business serving the greater Atlanta area for over 15 years, we have seen firsthand how the right flooring can breathe new life into a space, increase property value, and improve your daily comfort. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the top flooring choices for Georgia homes and how to decide which path is right for you.

The Timeless Appeal of Hardwood

There is a reason hardwood flooring has remained the gold standard for centuries. It offers an unmatched warmth and character that synthetic materials strive to replicate but can rarely duplicate perfectly. For Atlanta homeowners, hardwood is not just a design choice; it’s an investment. Real wood floors can last for generations if properly maintained, and they are highly sought after in the real estate market.

When choosing hardwood, you generally have two main paths: Solid Hardwood and Engineered Hardwood.

• Solid Hardwood is exactly what it sounds like: a solid piece of wood throughout. It is classic, durable, and can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan.
• Engineered Hardwood consists of a real wood veneer atop layers of plywood. This construction makes it more stable in humid conditions - a significant benefit in our Georgia climate - and allows for installation in areas where solid wood might warp, such as basements or over concrete slabs.

At Floors Done, our installation team treats every plank with precision. We understand that a great floor is only as good as its installation, which is why we take the time to prepare your subfloor properly to ensure a squeak-free, long-lasting result.

Breathing New Life into Old Floors: The Magic of Refinishing

If your home already has hardwood floors that are looking scratched, dull, or worn, you might not need new floors at all. You might just need a professional refresh. Hardwood refinishing is one of the most cost-effective ways to completely transform a room without the price tag of a full replacement.

Many homeowners hesitate to refinish their floors because they dread the dust and the mess. We get it. That is why Floors Done approaches refinishing with a focus on care and cleanliness. Our process involves professional sanding to strip away years of wear and old finish, followed by expert staining to achieve the exact color you desire. Whether you want to keep the natural look or switch to a modern, dark espresso tone, we can customize the stain to match your vision. Finally, we apply high-quality sealants to protect your floors for years to come.

Refinishing isn't just about aesthetics; it’s about preservation. By fixing surface damage and sealing the wood, you are extending the life of your floors and protecting the structural integrity of your home.

The Rise of Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

While we love hardwood, we also know that modern life can be messy. Kids, pets, spills, and heavy foot traffic demand a floor that is tough as nails. Enter Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP). This isn't the vinyl flooring of the 1970s; modern LVP is a high-tech marvel that mimics the look and texture of real wood (or stone) while being 100% waterproof and incredibly durable.

LVP has become a favorite for Atlanta families, particularly for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements where moisture is a concern. Because it is waterproof, you can carry the beautiful "wood look" seamlessly from your living room right into your kitchen and powder room without worry. It is also softer underfoot and quieter than tile or hardwood, making it a comfortable choice for active households.
