Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Buford, GA
Buford has experienced rapid growth, especially along the GA-20 and I-985 corridors. Southern Woods Flooring serves Buford and Gwinnett County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 20 minutes away.
Buford sits about 20 minutes from our showroom, making it one of our closest and most active service areas. We work in Buford neighborhoods every week — from the established homes near downtown to the newer communities along GA-20 and the Mall of Georgia corridor.
What makes Buford flooring projects interesting is the Lake Lanier factor. Homes near the lake see more moisture, more foot traffic from outdoor activities, and more wear on garage floors from boats and gear. We recommend materials that handle this lifestyle — LVP on main levels, durable finishes on hardwood, and polyaspartic concrete coatings for garages and outdoor spaces.
Whether you're updating a 1990s home in Hamilton Mill or choosing floors for new construction near Ivy Creek, we've done this project many times in your neighborhood. Come visit our showroom on your way to or from the lake — we're right off 316 in Bethlehem.
Flooring in Buford Homes
Buford has experienced rapid growth, especially along the GA-20 and I-985 corridors. Housing ranges from established neighborhoods near downtown Buford with 1970s-90s homes to brand-new master-planned communities. Newer subdivisions near the Mall of Georgia and along Buford Dam Road feature open floor plans with hardwood or LVP main levels and carpet upstairs. Lakefront and lake-access homes near Lanier add a unique element — moisture management and durable flooring matter more when you're close to the water.

What NE Georgia Homeowners Say
Real reviews from verified Google customers across our service area.
"Southern Woods did an amazing job refinishing our hardwood floors! The entire experience was great. They were friendly and professional. The finished floors look incredible and really update the feel of the house. The dust-free refinishing really was dust-free. I was surprised by how little dust there really was after they finished. We also had Southern Woods replace the carpet in our master bedroom and they knocked that out in just a couple hours. Very efficient, professional crew."
"Zac and David did a great job with my floors. They made sure to clean up after themselves and fix any issues as they arose. The customer service was great and the floors turned out perfect."
"Choosing Southern Woods Flooring was one of the best decisions I've ever made! From my initial consultation with Zac to the installation team's work, the entire experience was phenomenal. The flooring in my primary room and closets looks amazing. The craftsmanship is top-notch. The team arrived on time, were pleasant and professional, and thoroughly cleaned up after the installation. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
Frequently Asked Questions — Buford
LVP is the top choice for lake homes. It's 100% waterproof, handles wet feet and tracked-in sand, and looks like real hardwood. For lakefront homes with walkout basements, LVP on the lower level and hardwood upstairs gives you the best of both worlds.
Absolutely. polyaspartic coatings are perfect for garages that store boats, jet skis, and lake gear. They resist chemicals, oil, and hot tire pickup. We install in one day so your garage is back in use within 24 hours.
Yes. We work with homeowners and builders on new construction flooring throughout Buford. We can coordinate with your builder's timeline and install hardwood, LVP, tile, or carpet — or a combination throughout the home.
It depends on your lifestyle and budget. Hardwood is the premium choice — it lasts 50+ years and can be refinished multiple times. LVP costs less, is waterproof, and holds up better to heavy use. Come to our showroom and see both side by side. We'll help you decide based on your specific situation.
We're in Hamilton Mill, Ivy Creek, the Mall of Georgia area, Buford Dam Road neighborhoods, Shadburn Ferry, and downtown Buford regularly. We also serve all Lake Lanier waterfront properties in the Buford area.
