Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Lexington, GA
Lexington is the county seat of Oglethorpe County — a quiet, rural community with deep roots. Southern Woods Flooring serves Lexington and Oglethorpe County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 50 minutes away.
Lexington is about 50 minutes east of our Bethlehem showroom, and the homes in Oglethorpe County are some of the most interesting we work on. This is a community where the housing stock has genuine history — we've refinished floors in Lexington homes that are well over a hundred years old.
Most of our work in Lexington centers on restoring original hardwood. These are often wide-plank floors with a patina that modern lumber can't replicate. Our approach is to preserve as much of the original wood as possible, patching or weaving in new boards only where needed. The Bona dust-free system keeps the dust down to roughly what you'd see from a regular weekly house cleaning — important in these older homes.
We serve all of Oglethorpe County at no extra travel charge. If you'd like to visit our showroom in Bethlehem to see finish and stain options, it's a scenic drive west on GA-77 to GA-316. Or call us and we'll bring samples to you.
Flooring in Lexington Homes
Lexington is the county seat of Oglethorpe County — a quiet, rural community with deep roots. The housing stock is predominantly older: historic homes near the courthouse square dating to the 1800s, farmhouses on large acreage, and a smattering of modest newer construction along the main highways. Many homes feature original hardwood floors — some in excellent shape under old carpet, others needing significant restoration. New builds are uncommon and tend to be custom homes on family land.

Hardwood Refinishing
Lexington's historic homes are full of original hardwood — wide-plank oak, heart pine, and other old-growth species. Refinishing is by far the most common flooring project we do here.
Hardwood Installation
When original floors have sections too damaged to refinish, we weave in new hardwood that matches the existing species and width. The repair blends in completely after finishing.
LVP & Vinyl
Kitchens and bathrooms in older Lexington homes often have worn vinyl or linoleum. LVP is a practical, waterproof upgrade that fits the budget of a rural renovation.

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 — Lexington
Yes — that's some of our favorite work. Wide-plank heart pine and oak floors in older Lexington homes are irreplaceable. We refinish them with care, preserving the character while giving them a fresh, durable finish. If sections are too damaged, we can weave in matching boards.
Not at all. Lexington and all of Oglethorpe County are part of our regular service area. We come to you for the free proposal and all project work at no travel surcharge.
For historic homes, we typically recommend a satin or matte oil-modified polyurethane. It enhances the wood's natural character without a high-gloss plastic look. If you want a more modern appearance, water-based Bona finishes offer a clear, natural tone. We'll bring samples so you can see the options on your actual wood.
Yes. Many older homes in Oglethorpe County have crawlspaces. We check moisture levels and subfloor condition as part of the proposal. If moisture is a concern, we may recommend a vapor barrier or LVP instead of solid hardwood on the ground level.
