Hardwood flooring throughout Dunwoody
Dunwoody's housing stock spans several decades, and our hardwood work reflects that range, from refinishing original oak floors in Georgetown and Mount Vernon Woods homes built in the 1960s and 70s to installing new engineered hardwood in more recently built or renovated homes closer to Perimeter Center. Solid hardwood remains common in the city's older, established neighborhoods, where original wood subfloors support it well, while engineered hardwood has become more popular for renovations and additions.
We refinish a significant amount of original hardwood in Dunwoody, since many of the city's homes were built before engineered products were widely available, meaning the floors underneath decades of wear are often solid wood worth restoring rather than replacing. Our consultants assess whether a floor is a good refinishing candidate or whether replacement makes more sense, based on wood thickness remaining and overall condition.

Georgia's climate and Dunwoody's housing stock
DeKalb County's hot, humid summers cause hardwood to expand and contract seasonally, which is a bigger consideration in Dunwoody's older homes that may not have the same moisture barriers modern construction includes. We always check crawl-space ventilation and subfloor moisture in these homes before installing or refinishing hardwood, since trapped humidity underneath a house can warp boards regardless of how well the installation itself was done.
The area's clay soil can also cause slight slab movement over time, which matters most for newer Dunwoody construction near Perimeter Center built on a slab rather than a crawl space. We test slab flatness and moisture before installation and address any issues directly rather than installing over them.

What hardwood flooring costs in Dunwoody
Solid hardwood installation in Dunwoody typically runs $8 to $14 per square foot installed, while engineered hardwood generally runs $6 to $11 per square foot, with pricing driven by species, plank width, and finish. Refinishing existing hardwood, which is especially common in Dunwoody's older neighborhoods, usually costs $3 to $5 per square foot.
Homes with hardwood in poor condition, including significant water damage or boards worn past their finish layer, sometimes need partial replacement rather than a straightforward refinish, which we'll flag clearly in your estimate rather than discovering mid-project. We provide an itemized quote after an in-home visit so you know exactly what you're paying for.

How our hardwood installation and refinishing process works
For new installations, we measure your space, help you select species and finish, and let the material acclimate to your home's humidity before installation begins. For refinishing projects, our team first assesses the existing floor's condition to confirm it has enough wood thickness left to sand safely.
Installation crews handle subfloor prep, acclimated material, and either nail-down or glue-down installation depending on your home's construction. Refinishing jobs involve sanding down to bare wood, staining to your chosen color, and applying multiple coats of finish, with dry time factored into your project schedule.

Bringing Dunwoody's original hardwood back to life
Because so much of Dunwoody, particularly around Dunwoody Village and Georgetown, was built before engineered hardwood became common, we spend a lot of time refinishing original solid wood floors rather than replacing them outright. These floors often have more wood thickness remaining than homeowners expect, meaning a sanding and refinishing job can restore decades-old oak to a like-new look for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
We typically recommend a matte or satin finish for refinished floors in these older homes, since it hides everyday wear better than the high-gloss finishes common when the homes were originally built. For homeowners unsure whether their floors are refinishing candidates, our consultants can do a quick assessment during the in-home consultation before you commit to either direction.
