Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Gainesville, GA
Gainesville is the largest city in our service area and the seat of Hall County. Southern Woods Flooring serves Gainesville and Hall County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 30 minutes away.
Gainesville is the furthest north in our regular service area — about 30 minutes from the showroom — but we've been working in Hall County since the beginning. The city's size and diversity mean we see everything from century-old heart pine in Green Street Victorians to brand-new hardwood in Mundy Mill developments.
What keeps us coming back to Gainesville is the range of projects. One day we're refinishing a historic home near Brenau University, the next we're installing LVP in a lakefront condo, and the day after we're coating a commercial floor on Jesse Jewell Parkway. Gainesville has the kind of varied housing stock and commercial growth that keeps our full range of skills in demand.
If you're in Gainesville, our showroom in Bethlehem is worth the 30-minute drive. We carry the full range of hardwood, LVP, tile, carpet, and concrete coating options. Come in, walk on the samples, and talk through your project with someone who's done hundreds of jobs in Hall County.
Flooring in Gainesville Homes
Gainesville is the largest city in our service area and the seat of Hall County. The housing stock is exceptionally varied: historic homes near Green Street and the downtown square date to the early 1900s, mid-century homes surround Brenau University, and newer developments extend along GA-400 and Jesse Jewell Parkway. Lake Lanier's north shore adds waterfront and lake-access homes to the mix. Gainesville also has a growing commercial sector with retail and restaurant spaces that need durable commercial flooring.

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!"
