Why Engineered Hardwood Makes Sense for Decatur
Decatur sits just east of Atlanta with nearly identical housing character. Bungalows, craftsman homes, and mid-century ranches on tight lots are the norm — most built between 1920 and 1970, almost all with original hardwood hiding somewhere beneath decades of floor coverings.
Engineered hardwood is a layered product — a real hardwood veneer over multiple plies of plywood — and that layered construction is what makes it the right call for so many Decatur homes. It doesn't expand and contract the way solid hardwood does through Georgia's humidity swings, which means fewer gaps in winter and less crowning in summer.
The other reason engineered hardwood dominates in newer Decatur construction: it can go directly over concrete. Solid hardwood over a slab requires a subfloor system; engineered hardwood needs only a moisture barrier. If any part of your Decatur home is slab-on-grade, engineered hardwood is almost always the right answer for that area.
Every estimate in Decatur is done in-home — we walk the floors, test the subfloor, and look at the specific conditions of your home before we quote. That means no surprises on project day and no scope creep. We tell you exactly what needs to be done and what it will cost, in writing, before any work begins.

Why Decatur Homeowners Choose Olivas

That means consistent quality, direct accountability, and a crew that's done this exact type of work hundreds of times. When you call with a question, you're talking to the same people who did the work.

What an Engineered Hardwood Installation Looks Like
Here's exactly what happens from your first call to the final walkthrough — no guesswork, no vague timelines.
Product selection. We carry Cheyenne and Sterling product lines with a range of species, plank widths, and factory finishes. We'll bring samples to your home or you can visit our showroom — either way, the goal is matching the floor to your existing trim, cabinetry, and light.
Subfloor and moisture assessment. Engineered hardwood is moisture-tolerant but not moisture-immune. We test the subfloor before installation — concrete slabs get a moisture vapor emissions test, wood subfloors get a pin-type moisture reading. If the numbers are too high, we address the source rather than installing over the problem.
Installation day. Most engineered hardwood is floated with a click-lock system or glued down. Floating is faster and reversible; gluing is more stable and quieter underfoot. We'll recommend the right method for your subfloor and traffic expectations. Most rooms are done in a single day.
For rooms that work better with solid hardwood — typically main living areas with wood subfloors — ask about our solid hardwood floor installation in Decatur. We often install both in the same home: engineered below-grade or in the kitchen, solid hardwood in the main living and bedroom areas.
