Brookhaven is one of metro Atlanta's most established intown communities, with mid-century ranch homes throughout Ashford Park, classic bungalows along Dresden Drive, and the larger estates of Historic Brookhaven. Many of these homes still have their original hardwood, and after decades of foot traffic, pet wear, and finish breakdown, refinishing brings them back at a fraction of the replacement cost. Oakerds delivers dustless sanding, custom stain matching, and durable polyurethane finishes throughout DeKalb County.
Our Hardwood Refinishing Services
Dustless Sanding
Our professional sanding equipment captures 98-99% of dust at the source, keeping your Brookhaven home clean throughout the process.
Custom Stain Colors
Choose from dozens of stain options. We apply samples directly on your floor so you see the exact color in your home's lighting before we commit.
Mid-Century Ranch Specialists
Brookhaven's Ashford Park and surrounding ranches have original 1950s-60s hardwood that needs careful handling. We have the experience to bring those floors back without compromising the boards.
Floor Repair
Before refinishing, we address damaged boards, fill gaps, and fix squeaks. Replacement boards are matched to the existing wood for a seamless final result.
Hardwood Flooring in Brookhaven Homes
Brookhaven's housing stock is one of the most varied in the metro, ranging from the mid-century ranches in Ashford Park, the classic 1920s and 1930s bungalows along Dresden Drive, the larger estate homes of Historic Brookhaven, and the newer townhomes near Town Brookhaven and the Peachtree Creek Greenway. Many of the older homes still have their original red oak or heart pine hardwood, and after fifty or sixty years of life, those floors often have the kind of patina and character that no new flooring product can replicate. Refinishing preserves that.
The challenge in Brookhaven is the variety. A single street can have a 1955 ranch with original oak next door to a 2010 new build with engineered wide-plank, and the right approach is different for each. We assess every floor individually before recommending a path forward, whether that means a full sand-stain-finish refinishing, a screen and recoat for floors that just need a refresh, or selective board repair before the main work begins. We regularly refinish in Ashford Park, Historic Brookhaven, the Dresden Drive corridor, and the homes near Town Brookhaven.

Yes. The mid-century ranches throughout Ashford Park and the surrounding Brookhaven neighborhoods often have original red oak hardwood from the 1950s and 1960s that has plenty of life left. We sand carefully to preserve board thickness, repair any damaged areas, and finish with stain and polyurethane that highlights the grain. Many of these floors look better after refinishing than they did when new.
Most refinishing projects in Brookhaven take 2 to 3 days. Day one is sanding and prep, day two is stain and the first polyurethane coat, day three is the final coat and cleanup. Walk on socks 24 hours after the final coat, furniture back after 72 hours.
Yes. Many of the newer townhomes near Town Brookhaven and along the Peachtree Creek Greenway feature engineered hardwood that can be refinished depending on the wear-layer thickness. We assess the floor first, measure the wear layer if possible, and recommend either full refinishing or a screen and recoat based on what your floor actually needs.
Our dustless sanding equipment captures 98-99% of dust at the source through a vacuum system attached directly to the sander. Your countertops, furniture in adjacent rooms, and air vents stay clean throughout the process. It is a significant improvement over older sanding methods that left dust everywhere.
