Solid and engineered hardwood installation across Paulding, Cobb, Douglas, Carroll, Polk, and Haralson Counties.
There are a lot of floors that look like wood now. Some of them look really good. But there’s still nothing quite like the real thing under your feet, and homebuyers know it. Hardwood adds warmth, it adds value, and when it gets scratched up after fifteen years, you sand it and refinish it and it’s new again. Very few floors can say that.
At Ramsey Contracting, hardwood is one of the floors we’re proudest to install, because it’s also one of the easiest to get wrong. Wood moves. It expands in the summer humidity and shrinks in the winter. If it’s installed by somebody who doesn’t respect that, you get gaps, cupping, and squeaks. If it’s installed right, it stays beautiful for decades.
We install both. Which one is right depends on your subfloor, your budget, and what’s under the house. We’ll tell you straight when we come out.
is one piece of wood all the way through, usually three-quarters of an inch thick. It’s nailed to a plywood subfloor and can be sanded and refinished many times over its life. It’s the traditional choice and holds its value best. It’s not ideal over concrete slabs or in basements because of moisture.
has a real wood top layer over a plywood core. That construction makes it more stable in humidity, which matters a lot in Georgia. It can be glued, nailed, or floated, and it works over concrete. Most engineered floors can be refinished once or twice depending on the thickness of the top layer.
Oak is still the most popular choice around here, and for good reason: it’s tough, it takes stain well, and it looks right in almost any house. Hickory is harder and has more grain variation for a rustic look. Maple is smooth and light. Walnut is dark and rich.
On finish, you can go prefinished, which is factory-coated and ready to walk on the day it’s installed, or site-finished, which we sand and finish in your house for a seamless look and a custom stain color. Prefinished is faster and more durable. Site-finished is more custom. Both are good; it’s about what you want.
We bring samples so you can see them in your own light.
We remove the old floor and haul it off.
Hardwood is unforgiving. The subfloor has to be flat, dry, solid, and free of squeaks. We fix soft spots, screw down loose plywood, and level as needed. Over concrete, we test moisture before deciding on engineered product and adhesive.
The wood sits in your house for several days so it adjusts to your home’s humidity before it goes down. This is a step that gets skipped all the time, and it’s why floors gap and cup. We won’t skip it.
We plan the direction of the boards, the starting wall, and how the floor meets doorways, stairs, and other flooring so it looks intentional.
Nailed, stapled, or glued depending on the product and subfloor, with the right expansion gap around the edges so the floor can move without buckling.
Sanding, stain, and multiple coats of finish, with dust containment so your house isn’t coated in it.
Baseboards, shoe molding, thresholds, and stair nosing to finish it off.
We walk every hardwood job before, during, and after. The crew leader and the project manager both inspect the floor for gaps, lippage, squeaks, and finish flaws before we call it done. Then you walk it with us. A lot of crews never look at their own work. We think that’s the job.
Got existing hardwood you want to extend into a new room? We can lace in new boards and finish the whole floor so the seam disappears. We also refinish tired hardwood as part of larger flooring and remodel projects. (We don’t do small standalone repairs, but if the floors are part of a bigger job, we’ve got you.)
Hardwood costs more than vinyl or laminate. We’re not going to pretend otherwise. What we will do is give you a written estimate that breaks out the product, the prep, and the labor so you know exactly where the money goes, and we’ll flag anything that could change once the old floor is up. We’re rarely the cheapest bid and rarely the highest. We aim to be the one that solves the problem the right way.
If hardwood is what you want and the timing’s off, ask about financing. We can help spread the cost out.
We’re based in Dallas, GA, and install hardwood throughout Paulding County and across Cobb, Douglas, Carroll, Polk, and Haralson Counties, including Hiram, Powder Springs, Douglasville, Carrollton, Villa Rica, and Rockmart. We’ve done a lot of work in Newnan and Fayetteville too. Big projects, anywhere in Georgia.
