Buford Flooring Services From Floor to Finish

Abner Flooring and Remodeling installs, refinishes, and repairs floors throughout Buford, GA, covering everything from solid hardwood flooring and LVP to tile, epoxy coatings, and laminate. We're a Georgia-registered LLC, and when you call (404) 706-8999, you're reaching the crew that will actually show up and do the work. Most flooring contractors in this market stop at the floor itself. We don't. Drywall, paint, trim, and siding are all on the same ticket, which means you're managing one point of contact instead of three or four. Call or text us any day of the week and we'll get an estimate scheduled.

Buford's housing stock skews newer than much of the Atlanta metro, with a median construction year somewhere around the mid-1990s. That matters for flooring because a lot of those homes were built over engineered subfloor systems that react differently to moisture and weight than the solid-plank subflooring you'd find under an older Inman Park bungalow. Buford also sits on heavy red clay Ultisols with bedrock fairly close to the surface, so homes here can see more radon and ground moisture than homeowners expect. When we assess a subfloor before any wood floor installation or refinish job, we're checking for exactly that. We also handle the permit process: the City of Buford's Planning and Zoning Department requires a building permit for structural alterations, and we're familiar with the inspection schedule, including the 4:00 pm cutoff for next-business-day inspections.

What We Install and Repair in Buford

Every floor type Buford homeowners actually need, handled by one crew.

01

Hardwood Floor Installation

Solid and engineered wood installed over properly prepped subflooring. We sand, nail, glue, and finish on-site. The subfloor gets checked before a single plank goes down.

02

Wood Floor Refinishing

We sand back existing hardwood and refinish it rather than replacing it, the smarter call for Buford homes built in the 1990s that still have original floors worth saving.

03

LVP Flooring Installation

Luxury vinyl plank is the right choice for kitchens, basements, and rental properties where moisture is a real factor. Fast to install, durable, and it holds up to Georgia humidity.

04

Tile Flooring Installation

Ceramic and porcelain tile for bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways. We set the substrate right so tiles don't crack or shift. Grout lines are consistent, not something you have to apologize for.

05

Garage Floor Epoxy Coating

Epoxy coatings transform a plain concrete garage slab into a finished surface that's easy to clean and built for the wear a working garage actually takes.

06

Flooring Repair

Squeaks, gaps, soft spots, cracked tile, buckling LVP. We diagnose what's wrong and fix the source, not just the surface. Flooring repair in Buford handled same-week most of the time.

Local Know-How

What Buford's Soil and Housing Age Mean for Your Floor

Buford sits on compacted red clay with naturally acidic soil and bedrock close to the surface. That combination can push ground moisture upward through concrete slabs and into wood subfloors, especially in homes built on slab-on-grade foundations. Many of the subdivisions developed around Buford in the 1990s used this construction method. Before we install any wood floor or handle a refinishing job, we check moisture levels and make sure the subfloor is sound. Skipping that step is how you end up with cupped hardwood six months after installation. We won't skip it. Buford's water is moderately hard at roughly 1.3 grains per gallon, which is worth knowing if you're comparing it to other markets, but it's the soil moisture, not the tap water, that drives the most flooring failures here.

Our Process

How a Buford Flooring Project Works With Us

We keep the process straightforward so there are no surprises between the estimate and the finished floor.

  1. 01

    Estimate and Assessment

    Call or text (404) 706-8999 any day of the week. We come out to Buford, look at the subfloor, the existing surface, and the scope, then give you a clear number before any work starts.

  2. 02

    Permits If Required

    For structural work, we coordinate with the City of Buford's Planning and Zoning Department. Permit applications and inspection scheduling, including the 4:00 pm next-day cutoff, are part of the job, not a surprise you deal with afterward.

  3. 03

    Installation and Finish Work

    We install the floor, handle the transitions, and if you need baseboards, drywall, or paint to complete the room, we do that too. One crew from start to finish, no handoffs to subcontractors.

Beyond the Floor: Full Remodeling in Buford

  1. 01

    Drywall and Repair

    New hang, patches, and skim coat work for rooms getting a full renovation alongside new flooring. See our drywall installation work.

  2. 02

    Interior Paint and Trim

    Fresh paint and new baseboards make a floor installation look intentional rather than installed in a room that didn't get the memo. Baseboard installation is a natural part of any flooring job we do.

  3. 03

    Siding

    For homeowners updating the exterior alongside interior work, we handle siding installation. One contractor, inside and out.

Common Questions From Buford Homeowners

Do you handle flooring permits for Buford renovation projects?
Yes. The City of Buford requires a building permit for structural alterations, and we're familiar with how the Planning and Zoning Department processes applications. We also know the inspection schedule, including the 4:00 pm cutoff for next-business-day service. If your project requires a permit, we'll factor that into the timeline upfront so it doesn't catch you off guard mid-project.
My Buford home was built in the 1990s. Is the original hardwood worth refinishing or should I replace it?
Homes from that era in Buford often have solid hardwood that's worth saving. If the boards are thick enough to sand, which most original installs are, floor refinishing is almost always cheaper than replacement and produces a result that's hard to distinguish from new. We assess the floor first and tell you honestly which direction makes sense. We won't push replacement when a refinish is the right call.
How does Buford's red clay soil affect my floors?
Buford sits on compacted red clay Ultisols with an acidic pH. That soil holds moisture, and in homes built on slab foundations, that moisture can migrate upward into subflooring and wood floors. It's one of the main reasons we check subfloor moisture levels before any hardwood or engineered wood installation. Skipping that step is how floors cup or gap within a year of installation. We don't skip it.
Can you do the drywall and paint in Buford after the flooring is finished?
That's exactly what we're set up to do. Most flooring contractors in the Buford area stop at the subfloor. We also handle drywall repair, interior painting, trim, and baseboard installation. If you're redoing a room, we can take it from bare subfloor to finished walls without you managing a separate crew. Call (404) 706-8999 and we'll scope the full project together.
Do you work in Buford on weekends?
Every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Most trades in the Atlanta metro go quiet on weekends, and that's frustrating when you're trying to coordinate a renovation around a work schedule. We're available seven days a week, and texting works just as well as calling. If you reach out on a Sunday morning, you'll hear back the same day.
What flooring types work best in Buford homes given the local humidity?
LVP is the most moisture-tolerant option and works well in Buford kitchens, basements, and any rooms near exterior walls where humidity is a factor. Engineered hardwood performs better than solid hardwood in high-humidity conditions too, because the layered core is more dimensionally stable. If you have your heart set on solid hardwood, proper acclimation and a moisture barrier under the floor matter a lot here. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific situation.
