Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Lawrenceville, GA
Lawrenceville's housing stock spans several decades of Gwinnett County growth. Southern Woods Flooring serves Lawrenceville and Gwinnett County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 25 minutes away.
Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett, and we've been installing floors in this area since Southern Woods opened. The city's housing stock reflects decades of Gwinnett's growth — from charming homes near the historic courthouse square to the large-scale subdivisions that went up along Collins Hill Road and Sugarloaf Parkway in the 1990s and 2000s.
Most of the flooring work we do in Lawrenceville falls into two categories: refinishing aging hardwood in homes built between 1985 and 2000, and replacing worn carpet with LVP or new hardwood in homes getting their first major renovation. The builder-grade red oak in a typical Lawrenceville home from this era is good wood — it just needs attention after 30+ years of use.
Our showroom in Bethlehem is about 25 minutes from most Lawrenceville neighborhoods. Homeowners here often visit us on their way to or from the Lake Lanier area, making it an easy stop to pick out flooring samples before we come out for a free proposal.
Flooring in Lawrenceville Homes
Lawrenceville's housing stock spans several decades of Gwinnett County growth. The historic downtown square area has homes from the early 1900s through the 1960s, many with original hardwood floors. The surrounding neighborhoods — built primarily in the 1980s and 1990s — feature builder-grade red oak, carpet throughout, and vinyl in kitchens and baths. These homes are now prime candidates for flooring updates as original materials wear out after 30-40 years.

Hardwood Refinishing
Lawrenceville's 1980s-90s homes are at the age where builder-grade oak floors need their first refinish. Sand-and-finish brings them back to life for another 15-20 years.
LVP & Vinyl
Many Lawrenceville homeowners replace aging carpet and vinyl with LVP during whole-house renovations. It's a cost-effective way to modernize a 1990s floor plan.
Carpet
Bedrooms and bonus rooms in Lawrenceville's family-oriented neighborhoods still call for quality carpet. We replace worn-out builder carpet with options that last.

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 — Lawrenceville
If you have solid 3/4-inch oak — which most 1990s Lawrenceville homes do — refinishing is almost always the better value. You get beautiful floors for a fraction of replacement cost. We'll check the wood thickness and condition during the free proposal visit and give you an honest recommendation.
Whole-house LVP conversions are the most common project we do in Lawrenceville. Homeowners tear out 25-year-old carpet and dated vinyl and replace everything with a cohesive LVP floor. It's waterproof, looks like hardwood, and typically costs less than half what real hardwood would.
Refinishing typically runs $3-5 per square foot depending on the condition of the floors and the finish you choose. A typical Lawrenceville home with 1,000-1,500 sq ft of hardwood falls in the $3,500-7,000 range. We'll give you an exact price during the free proposal.
Yes. We work in Collins Hill, Mountain Park, Pebble Creek, Five Forks, and all Lawrenceville neighborhoods regularly. Our crews are in Gwinnett County every week.
Yes. If you're adding hardwood to a room that connects to existing floors, we match the species, width, and stain color. After refinishing the old and new together, the transition is seamless. This is one of the most common requests we get in Lawrenceville homes being renovated.
