Cobb County's Go-To Hardwood Flooring Company

Marietta and Cobb County are home to some of Metro Atlanta's most diverse housing — from 100-year-old craftsman homes near the historic Marietta Square to large suburban builds in East Cobb from the 1990s and 2000s. Each type of home presents different flooring opportunities and challenges, and we've worked on all of them.

One of our most popular services in this area is carpet-to-hardwood staircase conversions. Many Cobb County homes built during the suburban boom had carpet installed over hardwood stair treads as a cost-saving measure. Over time, that carpet wears, stains, and dates the entire interior. We remove the carpet, restore or replace the treads, and install updated handrails and balusters for a dramatic transformation.

For larger East Cobb homes with open floor plans, we frequently install hardwood throughout connected living areas — ensuring consistent stain color and seamless transitions between rooms. In older homes near the square, we specialize in refinishing original hardwood in Marietta that's been hidden under decades of carpet, restoring it to its original beauty at a fraction of the cost of replacement. For rental properties and fast-turnaround projects throughout Cobb County, prefinished hardwood is also a popular, budget-friendly option.

East Cobb in particular is one of the busiest areas we serve in Cobb County — the large two-story homes throughout Indian Hills, Chimney Springs, Walton Reserve, and Sentinel are at the ideal age for refinishing and staircase renovation, and we run projects throughout the area on a regular basis.

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

Marietta Flooring FAQs

01Do you serve all of Cobb County?
Yes. We serve Marietta, East Cobb, West Cobb, Kennesaw, Powder Springs, Smyrna, Vinings, Cumberland, and all surrounding Cobb County communities. Call us with your address and we'll confirm coverage.
02Can you refinish floors in older Marietta homes?
Absolutely. Many Marietta homes near the historic square have original hardwood from the early-to-mid 1900s. We specialize in restoring these floors — sanding down old finishes, repairing damaged boards, and applying fresh stain and polyurethane to bring them back to life.
03Should I refinish or replace the carpet on my Cobb County home's stairs?
If your stairs have hardwood treads beneath the carpet (common in 1990s-2000s Cobb County builds), refinishing them is far more affordable than full replacement. We remove the carpet, assess the treads, sand and stain them to match your floors, and install new handrails and balusters if needed.
04Are there flooring species that work especially well in Marietta's historic homes?
Homes near the historic Marietta Square — built from the 1880s through the 1940s — often have original heart pine or old-growth yellow pine, which is denser and tighter-grained than modern pine. These floors require a careful sanding approach: heart pine is hard, reacts to stain differently than oak, and shows machine marks if sanded too aggressively. We've worked on dozens of these floors in the historic district and know how to bring them back without losing the character that makes them worth preserving.
05Can you work around an occupied home in Marietta?
Yes. Most Marietta refinishing projects can be staged room-by-room or floor-by-floor so families can stay in the home. Dustless sanding keeps airborne particles minimal, and water-based polyurethane significantly reduces odor compared to oil-based finishes. For larger whole-home projects, we'll give you an honest assessment at the estimate — some jobs are better done while you're away; others are easy to work around.
