🧰 Top Flooring Questions Homeowners Ask in Metro Atlanta

1. What are the most trusted flooring brands you use in Atlanta area homes?

We regularly install and trust brands like Mohawk, Shaw, Armstrong, Mannington, Karndean, COREtec, Pergo. These brands back their products with warranties suited for our Georgia climate — wear layers, moisture resistance, finish durability, and local support are all key factors.

2. How much does new engineered hardwood cost per square foot in Dunwoody / Atlanta?

Installed cost typically ranges between **$5.50 and $9.50 per sq ft** for quality engineered hardwood (materials + labor). Variables include brand, plank width, subfloor prep, moisture mitigation, finish type, and room complexity.

3. What types of services does Final Floors provide across Metro Atlanta?

We do it all: engineered hardwood installation & refinishing, vinyl plank & vinyl tile installs, carpet installation & replacement, water damage restoration, flooring repairs, transitions & trim, and full room-to-room flooring design and execution.

4. What’s a realistic timeline for a full flooring install in Dunwoody?

For a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft home: 1 to 3 days including prep, layout, installation, trim, and cleanup. More complex jobs — multiple rooms, transitions, structural subfloor fixes — might take an extra day or two.

5. Is engineered hardwood better than solid hardwood for Georgia’s humidity?

Yes, for many Metro Atlanta homes. Engineered hardwood handles moisture fluctuations better than solid wood, reducing warping, cupping, or gaps. You still retain real wood surface, refinishing ability, and aesthetic quality.

6. Can you install engineered hardwood in kitchens, bathrooms, or basements?

Possibly — but with caution. Kitchens might be okay with good sealing and moisture control. Bathrooms are higher risk unless HVAC and waterproofing are excellent. For basements or below-grade floors, moisture control is even more critical. Always test subfloor moisture first, then choose a resilient product and method.

7. What installation methods do you use, and which is best for Atlanta homes?

We use glue-down, nail-down, or floating (click-lock) depending on subfloor type and moisture levels. In Dunwoody or the greater Atlanta area, glue-down or nail-down tends to provide stronger stability, especially over concrete slabs or in humid seasons.

8. How should I maintain engineered hardwood floors in Georgia?

Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush is key. Use pH-neutral hardwood cleaner—avoid water-heavy mopping. Maintain humidity between 35–55%, use entry mats, and felt pads under furniture. Periodic professional cleanings help protect your Mohawk or Shaw finish long-term.

9. How do I protect my floors from water damage or flooding?

Use dehumidifiers and floor-level moisture sensors if your home is prone to leaks. In kitchens, use mats near sinks and dishwashers. For flooding, Final Floors provides water damage restoration—we dry subfloors, replace damaged planks, and re-seal the area to prevent future issues.

10. Can you refinish engineered hardwood? How many times?

Yes, depending on the wear layer (usually 2–4mm thick). Most engineered floors can be refinished once or twice. High-end Mohawk lines allow light sanding and new topcoat applications, restoring your floors’ shine years down the road.

11. Are vinyl plank floors a good option for rental or investment properties?

Absolutely. Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) offers durability, easy cleanup, and scratch resistance—ideal for rentals, Airbnbs, or high-traffic spaces. It’s waterproof, affordable, and stylish. Many Atlanta investors choose LVP for quick flips or long-term ROI.

12. How do you handle stairs, landings, and transitions?

Final Floors crafts custom stair treads, nosing, and matching transitions for perfect flow. We use color-matched materials, precision miters, and finish work that blends seamlessly with your new flooring—especially important in open-concept Atlanta homes.

13. What’s the warranty on my new floors?

Our installations include a 1-year workmanship guarantee, plus each brand’s manufacturer warranty. Mohawk, COREtec, and Shaw offer structural and finish coverage up to 25 years or more, depending on the product line. We help homeowners register warranties for full protection.

14. How do I know if my subfloor needs repairs?

Uneven floors, creaks, or soft spots often signal subfloor issues. We perform moisture and level checks before installation. If repairs are needed, our in-house teams replace boards, add leveling compounds, or install new underlayment for a solid foundation.

15. Why choose Final Floors over other Atlanta contractors?

Because we’re local, licensed, and passionate about perfection. With 4.9⭐ Google reviews and an A+ BBB rating, we don’t cut corners. Our crews are never subcontractors, our materials come from trusted brands, and our results speak for themselves.
