Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Decatur, GA
Decatur's housing stock is one of the most varied inside the perimeter. Southern Woods Flooring serves Decatur and DeKalb County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 50 minutes away.
Decatur is about 50 minutes west of our Bethlehem showroom, and we've been working in DeKalb County for years. The city's housing stock — 1920s bungalows in Oakhurst, mid-century ranches in Medlock Park, new construction scattered throughout — keeps our crews busy with a wide range of flooring projects.
What makes Decatur flooring work distinctive is the renovation culture. Homes here change hands frequently and buyers renovate quickly. Uncovering and refinishing original hardwood is often the first project in a Decatur renovation — it instantly transforms the home and sets the tone for the rest of the remodel. We see a lot of projects where we refinish the existing hardwood, extend it into a new addition, and install tile in updated kitchens and baths.
If you're renovating a Decatur home, come visit our showroom in Bethlehem to see hardwood stain options, tile selections, and LVP samples. It's about 50 minutes east via I-285 to GA-316 — worth the drive when you're making decisions that affect the whole house.
Flooring in Decatur Homes
Decatur's housing stock is one of the most varied inside the perimeter. The Oakhurst and Winnona Park neighborhoods have 1920s-40s bungalows and Craftsman homes with original hardwood floors — often heart pine or red oak. The MAK Historic District and Midway Woods feature mid-century ranch homes. Newer infill construction throughout the city adds modern townhomes and renovated homes with open floor plans. The real estate market is highly active, and renovation-ready homes move fast, making flooring updates a smart investment.

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."

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
Frequently Asked Questions — Decatur
Almost certainly. Decatur's 1920s-40s bungalows typically have solid heart pine or red oak under that carpet. Once we sand and finish it, the character of the original wood transforms the whole house. We'll check the condition during the free proposal visit — pull up a corner and see what's underneath.
Yes. This is one of the most common requests we get in Decatur. When you add a room or open up a wall, the new floor needs to match the existing hardwood. We source matching species and plank width, install the new boards, and refinish old and new together. The result is a seamless floor throughout.
Refinished hardwood is the number-one feature buyers look for in Decatur. If you have original hardwood, refinishing it gives you the best return on investment. For homes without hardwood, LVP in a neutral tone is the most cost-effective way to modernize before selling.
