Local Expertise

Hardwood Flooring Built for Atlanta's Homes and Climate

Atlanta's housing stock is as diverse as its neighborhoods. Craftsman bungalows in Grant Park and Kirkwood often have original heart pine floors from the 1920s hiding under layers of carpet and old finishes. Mid-century homes in Druid Hills and Morningside feature red oak that's held up for decades but needs hardwood refinishing in Atlanta to look its best. Newer construction in Buckhead and Midtown calls for fresh hardwood installation in Atlanta of Oak, Maple, Hickory, or engineered hardwood.

We understand the challenges of working in Atlanta's climate. Georgia's hot, humid summers and mild winters cause hardwood to expand and contract throughout the year. Our certified installers account for this in every project — from choosing the right species and acclimation period to selecting finishes that flex with seasonal changes rather than cracking or peeling.

Whether you're restoring a 1940s bungalow in Virginia-Highland, converting carpeted stairs to hardwood in a West End Victorian, or installing luxury vinyl in a Midtown condo kitchen, or turning over an Old Fourth Ward rental with prefinished hardwood between tenants, Olivas Hardwood Flooring has the experience to deliver results you'll be proud of — at budget-friendly prices.

What to Expect

What It's Like to Live Around the Work

Refinishing happens in your home over a few days. Here's exactly what it's like to live around it — no surprises.

Timeline: 2–4 days

Most refinishing wraps in 2–4 days, depending on square footage, repairs, and number of coats.

Minimal dust

Our dustless sanding captures 95–99% of dust, so there's far less mess and cleanup than traditional sanding.

When you can walk on it

Light foot traffic in socks about 24 hours after the final coat. Move furniture back after ~3–4 days; wait ~2 weeks for area rugs while the finish fully cures.

Odor & low-VOC options

Oil-based finishes smell stronger for a few days as they cure. We also offer low-VOC water-based finishes that cure faster with far less odor — just ask.

Furniture & prep

We move most furniture and protect what stays. Please clear small items, breakables, and wall art ahead of time.

Pets, kids & daily life

Keep pets and children off curing floors. We stage the work so you can still use the rest of your home.

FAQ

Atlanta Flooring FAQs

01Do you serve all neighborhoods in Atlanta?
Yes. We serve all Atlanta neighborhoods including Buckhead, Midtown, Virginia-Highland, East Atlanta, Inman Park, Grant Park, West End, Old Fourth Ward, and surrounding areas. We're based in Lawrenceville and travel throughout Metro Atlanta daily.
02How much does hardwood refinishing cost in Atlanta?
Pricing depends on square footage, floor condition, and your stain/finish preferences. Refinishing saves 50-70% compared to full replacement. We provide free in-home estimates with detailed pricing — call (678) 663-0092 to schedule yours.
03Do you work on older Atlanta homes with original hardwood?
Absolutely. Many Atlanta homes from the 1920s-1960s have beautiful original hardwood — often heart pine or red oak — hidden under carpet or worn finishes. We specialize in restoring these floors while preserving the character of the original wood.
04How do I know if original hardwood in my Atlanta home is worth saving?
In most cases, yes — if the boards are at least ¾" thick and haven't been sanded more than two or three times before, they have plenty of life left. Atlanta homes from the 1920s–1960s commonly have heart pine or red oak that refinishes beautifully. We assess board thickness and condition during the free estimate and tell you honestly whether refinishing or replacement is the right call.
