Before & After: Hardwood Floor Projects Around Augusta
Evans Townhouse Bedroom Before photo
This bedroom in a townhouse near Evans had tired stained carpet that just wouldn’t come clean anymore. The homeowner wanted something fresher and easier to take care of without the cost of a full remodel. When we pulled back a corner, we found real oak hardwood hiding underneath, just waiting to be brought back to life.

We pulled out the old carpet padding and tack strips. Then we sanded the oak down to fresh wood and finished it with a warm stain and protective coats. In just 2 days, the room went from worn and dated to bright and clean. The total for this project was about $1,500, a lot less than new flooring and the homeowner couldn’t believe those beautiful floors had been there the whole time.
This Grovetown kitchen had a slow leak near the dishwasher and fridge that went unnoticed for a while. The floor was stained, had some dark in spots, and some boards had started to lift and pull apart. It was more than a cleanup job. The damaged boards needed to come out before the problem spread.
We pulled up the damaged boards and made sure the floor underneath was dry and solid. We put in new planks that blend right in. In 2 days, the kitchen went from stained and warped to bright and brand new again. The total for this job was about $1,700, much less than redoing the whole first floor, and the homeowner can finally stop worrying every time the dishwasher runs.
Before
This big bright living room in an Augusta home was covered in old beige carpet that had seen better days. It held a lot of dust, made the whole space and the client has asthma which make they uncomfortable to stay in the living room. Unlike our Evans project, there was no hardwood hiding underneath this time, so the homeowner was ready for a fresh start with real wood floors.
After
We tore out the carpet and prepped the subfloor so it was flat and solid. We installed new engineered hardwood with a rich, warm color. In just 3 days, the living room went from tired and dated to bright to open and so much easier to keep clean. The total for this project was about $3,900, and it gave this home a whole new look that will last for years.
Residential Hardwood Flooring
Solid Hardwood Installation
Solid hardwood is real wood all the way through, and it can last for generations. We install oak, maple and hickory in homes all over Augusta, from older houses in National Hills to newer homes in Evans. Before we start, we let the wood sit in your home for a few days so it gets used to the humidity. That way your floor won’t shrink or gap later. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times, so it keeps looking good for years. Most installs run about $7–$16 per square foot
Engineered Hardwood Installation
Engineered hardwood has a real wood top layer with a strong plywood base underneath. It looks just like solid wood, but it handles Georgia’s heat and humidity better. That makes it a great choice for newer homes, basements and houses built on concrete. It also comes in wide planks if you want that modern, open look. Most installs run about $6–$20 per square foot, depending on the wood and the plank size.
Hardwood Floor Replacement
Sometimes a floor is too far gone to save. It might have water damage, soft spots, or boards that have been sanded too many times. When that happens, we pull up the old floor, fix anything wrong underneath, and put down new hardwood. If you only need part of a room or house redone, we’ll match the new boards to the rest of your floor as closely as possible. We’ll always tell you honestly whether a repair or a full replacement makes more sense.
Carpet to Hardwood Conversion
Tired of stained, worn-out carpet? We’ll rip it out, and put in beautiful hardwood. Lots of Augusta homes built before 1980 already have real hardwood hiding under the carpet. If yours does, we may be able to just refinish it, which saves you a lot of money. If not, we’ll install new hardwood that fits your style and budget. Either way, you get floors that are easier to clean and better for allergies
Carpeted stairs can make a nice hardwood floor look unfinished. We replace them with hardwood steps (treads) that match your floors, plus painted or stained risers (the part between each step). It’s one of the most popular upgrades we do, and it makes a big difference when you walk in the front door. Stairs are priced per step, so we’ll give you an exact quote after we see them
Wood Floors Over Concrete Slabs
A lot of newer homes around Augusta GA are built on concrete slabs. You can still have wood floors, but it has to be done right. Concrete holds moisture, so we test it first. Then we put down a moisture barrier and install engineered hardwood that’s made to handle it. Skipping these steps is the number one reason floors on concrete start to cup or come loose. We do it right the first time.
Hardwood Floor Refinishing & Repair
Hardwood Floor Refinishing
If your floors look gray, scratched or tired, they probably don’t need replacing. Most hardwood can be sanded down to fresh wood and finished again, and it costs a fraction of a new floor. We start by sanding off the old finish and the damage with it. Then we fill gaps and nail holes, apply the stain you pick, and seal it with three coats of polyurethane. Most hardwood floor refinishing in Augusta takes two to four days, including dry time.
Good to know: typical cost is $3 to $8 per square foot.
Dust-Containment Sanding
Old-school sanding leaves a fine layer of wood dust on everything. You find it on shelves, in vents and inside cabinets for weeks.
Our sanders hook straight into a large vacuum, so most of the dust gets pulled away the moment it comes off the floor. We also tape plastic over doorways to keep the rest of the house clean. You can stay home during the job, which matters if you have kids, pets or allergies.
It’s a big help for landlords too. You can refinish between tenants without a second round of cleaning.
Good to know: dust containment comes standard with our refinishing.
Water Damage & Board Replacement
Water damage on wood floors rarely shows up all at once. A slow leak under the dishwasher or a dripping AC line can go unnoticed for weeks. Then one day the boards start to cup, lift or turn black at the edges.
We find where the moisture came from and make sure the subfloor underneath is dry and solid. Then we remove only the damaged boards and replace them with matching ones. Small water damaged hardwood floor repairs are often done in a day.
Good to know: water damage is sometimes covered by homeowners insurance, so check your policy.
Stain Color Changes
Solid hardwood is real wood all the way through, and it can last for generations. We install oak, maple and hickory in homes all over Augusta, from older houses in National Hills to newer homes in Evans. Before we start, we let the wood sit in your home for a few days so it gets used to the humidity. That way your floor won’t shrink or gap later. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished many times, so it keeps looking good for years. Most installs run about $7–$16 per square foot
Screen & Recoat

That makes it a great choice for newer homes, basements and houses built on concrete. It also comes in wide planks if you want that modern, open look. Most installs run about $6–$20 per square foot, depending on the wood and the plank size.

Wood Species, Finishes & Subfloors for Augusta Homes
Hickory
Hickory is one of the hardest woods you can put on a floor, which makes it great for homes with kids and dogs. Each board has a mix of light and dark tones, giving it a rustic, natural look. If you want floors that stand up to a busy household, hickory is a smart pick.
Heart Pine
Heart pine is the warm, amber wood found in many older Augusta homes, especially in Summerville and Olde Town. It’s dense, full of character, and can’t be bought new anymore. If your home has heart pine floors, we can restore them and match missing boards with reclaimed pine.
White Oak
White oak has a soft tan color and a clean, straight grain that fits modern homes. It’s a little harder than red oak and holds up well in Georgia’s humid summers. It’s the top choice for wide plank floors and natural or matte finishes.
Red Oak
Red oak is the most common hardwood flooring in Augusta homes, with a warm color and bold grain. That strong grain helps hide small scratches and everyday wear. It takes stain beautifully, so you can go light, medium or dark.
