Hardwood Floor Installation in Alpharetta, GA

Nail-Down and Glue-Down Installation

Nail-down installation is the traditional method for solid hardwood over a wood subfloor. Each board is fastened down, which gives a solid floor underfoot and one that can be sanded and refinished several times over its life.

Where a room sits on a concrete slab, such as a finished basement or a room over the garage, engineered plank is glued down instead. It copes with the moisture a slab gives off far better than solid wood, and with a thick wear layer it can still be refinished later.

Sand and Finish Refinishing

Many Alpharetta homes built in the 1990s and 2000s still have their original oak floors, and they are usually worth saving. We sand back to bare wood, repair damaged boards, then apply the stain and finish you choose.

Refinishing costs far less than a new floor and takes only a few days. We use dust-containment equipment so the house stays livable while we work, and we can go room by room if you need to stay in the home. Contact Faust Flooring for a free on-site estimate.

Acclimation

Wood moves with the humidity in your home. We deliver the boards a few days before installation and let them sit in the rooms where they will be laid, so they settle at the moisture level of the house before anything is fastened down.

Tear-Out & Subfloor Preparation

We lift the old floor, then check the subfloor for movement, squeaks and level and fix what we find before new boards go down. Dust barriers and vacuum-assisted tools keep the rest of the house clean while we work.

Installation

Boards are laid to a plan, so the run of the floor suits the room and the joints fall where they should. On a site-finished floor we then sand, stain and coat it in place, building the finish in layers so it wears evenly.

Clean-Up

We put the baseboards and transitions back, sweep and vacuum through, and take everything away with us. You are left with a finished floor and a clean room, not a punch list.
