Our Hardwood Refinishing Services
Dustless Sanding
Our professional-grade sanding equipment captures 98-99% of dust at the source, keeping your Marietta home clean throughout the process. No dust clouds settling on countertops or in air vents.
Custom Stain Colors
Choose from dozens of stain options or let us create a custom blend. We apply samples directly on your sanded floor so you can see the exact color in your home's natural light before we commit.
Polyurethane Coating
We apply multiple coats of commercial-grade polyurethane for a finish that stands up to heavy foot traffic, pets, and everyday life. Choose from matte, satin, semi-gloss, or high-gloss sheen levels.
Heart Pine Restoration
Marietta's historic homes often feature original heart pine floors that require specialized care. We use gentle sanding techniques and the right stain profiles to preserve the character and warmth these antique floors are known for.
Hardwood Flooring in Marietta Homes
Cobb County's housing stock tells the story of Atlanta's suburban growth over the past century. The historic district around Marietta Square features Victorian-era and Craftsman homes with original heart pine floors -- dense, resinous old-growth wood that develops a rich amber patina when properly refinished. These floors have survived 100+ years and can look stunning again with careful sanding that preserves their hand-milled character. Nearby, the post-war bungalows along Roswell Road and Church Street feature narrow-plank oak floors from the 1940s and 1950s that are often hidden under layers of carpet and sheet vinyl.
East Cobb tells a different story. The ranch homes and split-levels built in the 1970s and 1980s typically have solid red oak hardwood that was covered with wall-to-wall carpet when carpet was king. When homeowners pull up that carpet today, they often find hardwood in surprisingly good condition -- it just needs sanding and a fresh finish. The newer subdivisions near Town Center Mall and along Canton Road feature builder-grade hardwood from the 2000s that is starting to show wear in high-traffic areas. Cobb County's clay soil and humid summers create the same expansion and contraction challenges seen across metro Atlanta, making regular refinishing important for maintaining floor integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many East Cobb ranch homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have original red oak hardwood floors hiding under wall-to-wall carpet. When the carpet comes up, these floors often just need sanding and refinishing to look brand new. We offer free inspections where we pull back a corner of carpet to check what is underneath before you commit to any work.
Yes. Heart pine is one of our specialties. These dense, resinous floors found in homes near Marietta Square and the historic district require careful sanding with the right grit sequence to avoid gouging the soft grain. We use a lighter touch and finer sanding passes to preserve the character of heart pine while bringing out its beautiful amber and orange tones.
We handle moving standard furniture as part of our service. You just need to clear personal items, electronics, and fragile decorations from the rooms being refinished. If you have pets, plan to keep them out of the work area during sanding and for 24 hours after the final coat. We will walk you through everything during the estimate visit.
Our dustless sanding equipment captures 98-99% of dust at the source using a high-powered vacuum attached directly to the sander. It is not 100% dust-free, but it is a dramatic improvement over traditional sanding. Your kitchen counters, furniture in other rooms, and HVAC vents stay clean throughout the process.
Hardwood floor refinishing in Marietta typically runs $3 to $5 per square foot depending on floor condition and stain selection. A typical East Cobb ranch home with 800 to 1,200 square feet of hardwood usually costs $2,400 to $6,000. Heart pine and specialty wood floors may cost more due to the extra care required. Oakerds provides free in-home estimates with exact pricing.
