Local Expertise

Suwanee's Trusted Hardwood Flooring Company

Suwanee is one of Gwinnett County's most desirable cities — and for good reason. Its combination of top-rated schools, master-planned golf communities, a revitalized Town Center, and a mix of established and newer homes makes it one of Metro Atlanta's most sought-after places to live. That same quality extends to the way Suwanee homeowners care for their homes, and quality hardwood floors are often at the top of the renovation list.

We're based in Lawrenceville, just a short drive from Suwanee along SR-120 and I-85. That proximity means we can schedule estimates and project start dates faster than companies commuting in from outside the county. It also means our team understands the specific housing types throughout Suwanee — the large traditional two-story homes in Laurel Springs and The River Club, the ranch-style homes near the historic town center, the townhomes and condos near Suwanee Town Center, and the newer construction going up throughout the city.

Our most requested service in Suwanee is hardwood floor refinishing. Many Suwanee homes built between 1995 and 2010 were finished with builder-grade stains and polyurethane that has since scratched, dulled, and lost its sheen. Rather than replacing perfectly good hardwood, refinishing gives those floors a completely new look — with your choice of stain color and finish sheen — at a fraction of replacement cost. We use dustless sanding equipment that keeps your home clean during the process and leaves a smooth, even surface for the new finish to adhere to.

For homeowners in The River Club, Olde Atlanta Club, and Polo Golf & Country Club, where homes often feature large open-plan living areas, consistent flooring across connected spaces is essential. We handle whole-home refinishing and installation projects that keep stain colors, transitions, and trim perfectly matched from room to room. Whether you're refreshing a single room or coordinating flooring throughout a 5,000+ square foot home, we have the crew and equipment to execute it cleanly and on schedule.

Staircase renovation is another high-demand service in Suwanee. The large two-story homes throughout the city frequently have carpeted stairs sitting over solid hardwood treads — a common builder cost-cutting practice from the 1990s and early 2000s. Pulling up that carpet and exposing the original treads (or installing new ones where needed), then adding modern iron or wood balusters and updated handrails, transforms the entire visual impression of a home. It's one of the highest-ROI renovations a Suwanee homeowner can make, and we do it regularly throughout the city.

For kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and mudrooms where moisture is a concern, we install luxury vinyl plank and tile — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and available in wood-look patterns that complement any hardwood in the rest of the home. For spaces where you want the real thing, engineered hardwood in our Cheyenne and Sterling lines offers superior dimensional stability in Georgia's humid climate, making it an excellent choice for Suwanee homes with slab foundations or below-grade installations. And for The River Club or Olde Atlanta Club homeowners wanting a quick, no-odor refresh, prefinished hardwood is walkable the same day.

We also service commercial properties in Suwanee — offices, retail spaces, and medical facilities that need durable, attractive flooring installed efficiently without disrupting business operations. Our team works early morning and weekend schedules for commercial clients when needed.

Every project we do in Suwanee starts with a free in-home estimate. We assess your current floors, discuss your goals and timeline, and give you transparent pricing before any work begins. No high-pressure sales, no hidden fees, and no subcontractors — the team you meet at the estimate is the team on your job site. We've built our reputation in Gwinnett County one job at a time, and every Suwanee home we work in is an extension of that commitment.

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

Suwanee Flooring FAQs

01Do you serve Suwanee from your Lawrenceville base?
Yes. Our home office is in Lawrenceville, which puts us just minutes from Suwanee. We're one of the closest hardwood flooring companies to Suwanee in Gwinnett County. That means faster scheduling, no travel surcharges, and a team that's already familiar with the housing types throughout the city — from older ranch homes near the historic town center to large newer builds in The River Club and Olde Atlanta Club.
02What is the cost of hardwood floor refinishing in Suwanee, GA?
Refinishing costs depend on square footage, current floor condition, whether you want a stain color change, and the number of coats of finish applied. In Suwanee, most residential refinishing projects run significantly less than full floor replacement — often 50 to 70 percent less. We provide free in-home estimates with detailed, transparent pricing. Call (678) 663-0092 to schedule yours.
03Which hardwood species are popular in Suwanee homes?
Oak — both red and white — is the most common species in Suwanee homes, particularly in homes built during the 1990s and 2000s boom. Hickory is increasingly popular for its dramatic grain and hardness, especially in large open-plan homes in The River Club and Laurel Springs. Brazilian Cherry and Maple are chosen for their distinctive color and unique grain. We carry and install all major species and can help you choose the right one for your home's style and traffic level.
04Can you convert carpeted stairs to hardwood in Suwanee?
Absolutely — it's one of the most popular projects we do in Suwanee. Many homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s have hardwood tread structures underneath carpet on stairs. We remove the carpet, assess the treads, sand and refinish them to match your floors (or install new ones if needed), and update the handrails and balusters. The result is a dramatic transformation that significantly improves the look and resale value of your home. We offer iron, wood, and modern baluster styles.
05Do you install luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in Suwanee?
Yes. LVP is an excellent choice for Suwanee basements, kitchens, and bathrooms where moisture is a concern. We install waterproof SPC (stone polymer composite), LVT (luxury vinyl tile), and LVP (luxury vinyl plank) in a wide range of wood-look patterns and colors. It's durable, pet-friendly, and far less expensive than solid hardwood — without sacrificing the look of real wood.
06Do Suwanee's newer planned-community homes have wide-plank floors that need special care?
More frequently than you'd expect. Homes in The River Club, Laurel Springs, and Olde Atlanta Club built from 2005 onward often have wide-plank engineered hardwood (5"–7" planks) installed as upgrades. These floors are beautiful but require a different refinishing approach — wider planks amplify any sanding pattern or grain mismatch. We've worked on plenty of these floors in Suwanee and know how to sand and finish them to a consistent result.
07Are you licensed and insured for flooring work in Suwanee, GA?
Yes. Olivas Hardwood Flooring LLC is fully licensed and insured in the state of Georgia. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage on every job site. You're protected, and your home is protected.
