Local Expertise

Gwinnett County's Hometown Flooring Company

Gwinnett County is home — it's where we live, work, and raise our families. Being based in Lawrenceville means we know the area's homes inside and out: the ranch-style houses in Lilburn with original hardwood that needs restoring, the two-story traditional homes in Suwanee with builder-grade floors ready for an upgrade, and the newer construction in Buford and Dacula that calls for quality flooring from day one.

Our refinishing services are especially popular in Gwinnett because so many homes from the 1990s and 2000s are reaching the point where finishes need refreshing. Our dustless sanding process removes old finishes without filling your home with dust, and we custom-stain to match any color preference. For homes with carpeted stairs, our staircase renovation service is one of the most transformative upgrades you can make.

We also install new hardwood, engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl, and laminate throughout Gwinnett County. Whether it's a single room or a whole-home transformation, you're working with a local company that stands behind every job.

In Buford, we serve neighborhoods along the Georgia 20 corridor and the communities near Lake Lanier's southern shore. Many Buford homeowners are looking to upgrade builder-grade carpet to hardwood or refinish older oak floors that have seen years of family use — both are services we handle daily from our Lawrenceville base just minutes away.

Suwanee is another community we serve regularly — from the golf course homes in The River Club and Olde Atlanta Club to the newer builds near Suwanee Town Center. Suwanee homes built in the 1990s and 2000s are at the sweet spot for refinishing, and our staircase renovation service is in high demand throughout the city.

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

Gwinnett County Flooring FAQs

01Are you based in Gwinnett County?
Yes! Our home base is in Lawrenceville, right in the heart of Gwinnett County. This means fast response times and deep knowledge of the area's homes and flooring needs. We serve every community in Gwinnett County and the broader Metro Atlanta area.
02What areas of Gwinnett County do you cover?
We cover all of Gwinnett County including Lawrenceville, Suwanee, Buford, Lilburn, Norcross, Snellville, Dacula, Grayson, Loganville, Duluth, and Peachtree Corners. No job is too far within Gwinnett — we're local.
03What hardwood species are most popular in Gwinnett homes?
Oak (red and white) is the most popular choice for its durability and classic look. Hickory is a close second for homeowners wanting a more rustic appearance. Brazilian Cherry and Maple are also popular for their unique grain patterns. We carry and install all major species.
04What's the difference between calling Olivas vs. an Atlanta-based company for Gwinnett County work?
We're Gwinnett. Our crew drives Gwinnett roads every day and our estimates reflect local rates — not Atlanta pricing with a travel premium added. We also know the housing stock here specifically: the ranch-style homes in Lilburn, the newer subdivisions in Buford and Dacula, the two-story builds throughout Suwanee. That familiarity shows up in how we assess floors and scope projects.
05Do you offer financing and accept credit cards?
Yes to both. We accept all major credit and debit cards on-site, and we offer flexible financing options for larger projects. Call (678) 663-0092 to discuss your project and payment options.
