🏠 General Flooring Questions in Metro Atlanta

Which flooring handles Atlanta’s humidity best?

For Georgia humidity, waterproof LVP and engineered hardwood perform best. Their cores resist swelling and cupping, making them ideal for basements, kitchens, and rentals across Roswell, Alpharetta, and Johns Creek.

What adds more resale value in Metro Atlanta?

Buyers love refinished hardwood in main living areas paired with premium luxury vinyl plank in moisture-prone rooms. This combo photographs beautifully, shows well at showings, and boosts appraisals across Buckhead, East Cobb, and Marietta.

How long do typical flooring projects take?

Most 800–1,500 sq ft projects finish in 1–3 days with our licensed in-house crews. No subcontractor delays — ideal for real estate closings, listings, and insurance putbacks.

Do you move furniture and appliances?

Yes. Final Floors carefully relocates furniture and can coordinate fridge, stove, and washer/dryer moves when needed so your flooring project stays organized and low-stress.

Can you match older hardwoods in Atlanta homes?

Yes. We custom-blend Bona, Rubio Monocoat, DuraSeal, and Minwax stains to match existing floors in historic homes and newer builds so transitions look seamless from room to room.

What about pets, kids, and heavy traffic?

We often recommend LVP with a 20-mil wear layer or matte polyurethane hardwood finishes. Add entry rugs and felt pads on furniture for extra protection in busy households.

🌳 Hardwood & Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) Questions

Solid vs. engineered hardwood — what’s better here?

On slabs and basements, engineered hardwood is more stable in moisture and temperature swings. On upper levels with controlled humidity, solid hardwood offers more future refinishing and long-term value.

LVP vs. LVT — what’s the difference?

LVP looks like wood planks; LVT looks like tile or stone. Both are waterproof and durable, but LVP is the most popular choice across Metro Atlanta because it feels warmer and installs quickly.

How thick should LVP be for Atlanta homes?

For busy households, rentals, and pets, we recommend 5–8mm total thickness with a 20-mil wear layer for long-term durability and a solid feel underfoot.

How often should hardwoods be refinished?

Most homes refinish every 7–10 years, depending on traffic, pets, and sheen. We use Bona, Rubio Monocoat, DuraSeal, and Minwax systems for smooth, durable finishes.

Can you install LVP over tile?

Often yes. We check flatness, grind high spots, fill low areas, and verify moisture. When properly prepped, floating or glue-down systems over tile feel solid and quiet.

Can new wood match my existing floors?

Yes. We weave new boards into old, use custom stain blends, and adjust sheen so hallways, kitchens, and living rooms feel like one continuous design in your home.

πŸͺž Carpet & Laminate Questions

How long does carpet typically last?

In most Metro Atlanta homes, carpet lasts around 8–12 years depending on fiber, pets, and traffic. Many sellers replace bedroom carpet before listing to help homes show better and sell faster.

Is laminate still a good option?

Yes. Modern laminates are durable, water-resistant, and budget-friendly for rentals and multi-family properties. The right underlayment improves sound and comfort in upstairs areas and condos.

Can I mix carpet bedrooms with LVP main areas?

Absolutely. We create clean transitions using reducers and T-moldings that match your flooring. You get cozy, quiet bedrooms with durable, stylish main living spaces.

🧰 Repairs, Subfloors & Leveling Questions

Why do my floors squeak?

Squeaks usually come from subfloor panels moving against joists or fasteners. We use glue-and-screw systems, blocking, and additional fasteners to quiet squeaks permanently where accessible.

How do you level uneven floors?

We grind high spots, fill low areas with cementitious patch, verify moisture, and check flatness to manufacturer specs so your new floors feel solid, quiet, and long-lasting.

Do you replace rotted subfloors from leaks?

Yes. We remove damaged OSB/plywood, dry framing, install moisture barriers, and rebuild to code — common after fridge, dishwasher, and bathroom leaks in Metro Atlanta homes.

Can you repair only one room or area?

Yes. We perform targeted repairs and weave-ins. If perfect color matching isn’t realistic, we recommend smart transition points to maintain a clean overall look.

πŸ’§ Water-Damage, Insurance & Restoration Questions

Can you repair water-damaged hardwood and LVP?

Yes. Final Floors removes swollen boards, dries subfloors, and installs new hardwood or LVP to match surrounding rooms after floods, leaks, and mitigation work.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Absolutely. We provide detailed estimates, moisture readings, and documentation, and we coordinate with adjusters so putbacks move forward smoothly and quickly.

How soon can you start after mitigation?

Once dry-out and clearance are complete, most water-damage putbacks can begin within a few days, depending on material timelines and scope.

Which products resist water best?

Waterproof lines like COREtec, Shaw FloortΓ©, and Mannington Adura feature rigid cores and tight locking systems that handle spills, pets, and daily moisture better than traditional wood.

🏒 Commercial & Property Management Questions

Do you handle multi-unit or phased installs?

Yes. We plan phased installations for apartments, condos, hotels, and offices to reduce disruption while keeping timelines and quality on track.

Can you work evenings or weekends?

We regularly schedule after-hours installs for offices and retail spaces in Sandy Springs, Brookhaven, Buckhead, and surrounding areas to avoid downtime.

Are your commercial products warranty-backed?

Yes. Many COREtec Pro and Shaw Contract lines carry 10–20 year commercial warranties, ideal for offices, medical spaces, and busy retail.

Do you offer maintenance or turnover support?

We support property managers with turnover-friendly solutions, including carpet replacement, LVP upgrades, and periodic buff-and-coat services to keep units and common areas looking sharp.

πŸ’° Budget, Scheduling & Project Logistics

What does LVP installation typically cost?

Quality material + labor often starts in the mid $4–$5 per sq ft range and up, depending on brand, stairs, subfloor prep, and layout. Every estimate includes a clear line-item scope.

How soon can you start?

Same-week scheduling is common. Our in-house crews keep calendars flexible for urgent closings, listings, water-damage projects, and fast-turnover rentals.

Do you help pick products and colors?

Yes. We maintain pro accounts with Floor & Decor, Home Depot, and Lowe’s, and we work with trusted brands like Shaw, Mohawk, COREtec, Bruce, Mannington to match your budget, lifestyle, and design goals.

Do you offer discounts or referral rewards?

Yes. Use coupon code FLOORSATL300 on qualifying projects and join our Referral Rewards Program for 10% back as cash, credit, or donation on completed jobs.
