When choosing hardwood, most people spend hours debating between Red Oak and White Oak or choosing the perfect shade of espresso versus honey.

If you live in one of Marietta’s charming historic districts, you likely have original hardwood floors hidden under years of wear, or perhaps beneath layers of old carpet. The prospect of refinishing them used to mean one thing: a house covered in a fine, pervasive film of sawdust that lingered for months, infiltrating your HVAC…

Atlanta homeowners are increasingly looking “down” to find more square footage. Whether it’s a home theater, a guest suite, or a high-end playroom, a basement renovation adds massive value to your home.

Living in Marietta, Georgia, means embracing the charm of the South—the historic squares, the lush greenery, and, unfortunately, the relentless humidity. While we love our “Peach State” summers, your floors might feel differently. If you’ve ever noticed your hardwood floors “cupping” (edges rising) or “crowning” (the center bulging) during a particularly muggy July, you’ve witnessed…
