Flooring Installation & Refinishing in Auburn, GA
Auburn straddles the Barrow and Gwinnett county line along the GA-316 and US-29 corridors, giving it a unique mix of housing. Southern Woods Flooring serves Auburn and Barrow County from our Bethlehem showroom — just 15 minutes away.
Auburn is about 15 minutes north of our Bethlehem showroom, and we've watched this community grow from a quiet crossroads into one of the busiest residential areas in Barrow County. That growth means a lot of flooring work — from refinishing hardwood in established homes to installing new floors in the subdivisions going up along GA-316 and US-29.
The mix of housing in Auburn gives us interesting projects. Older ranch homes along US-29 often have solid hardwood hiding under worn carpet — uncovering and refinishing those floors is some of the most rewarding work we do. Newer homes in Auburn's growing subdivisions typically come with builder-grade finishes that homeowners want to upgrade within the first few years of ownership. Either way, we've done it before in this neighborhood.
Since Auburn is right here in Barrow County, getting to our showroom is easy. Head south on US-29 or hop on GA-316 — you'll be at 799 Christmas Ave in about 15 minutes. Come see the samples, compare options, and talk to someone who's been installing floors in this area for 30 years.
Flooring in Auburn Homes
Auburn straddles the Barrow and Gwinnett county line along the GA-316 and US-29 corridors, giving it a unique mix of housing. The older sections of Auburn — especially along US-29 — feature 1960s-1980s ranch homes and farmhouses with original hardwood and carpet-over-plywood floors. The past 15 years have brought rapid growth, with large subdivisions of two-story traditional homes featuring builder-grade oak, carpet, and basic tile. Auburn's population has grown to about 8,000, and the housing stock reflects a community transitioning from rural crossroads to suburban bedroom community.

Hardwood Refinishing in Auburn
Established Auburn homes from the 1990s and 2000s have solid oak floors showing 20+ years of wear. The wood is still good — it just needs refinishing. Our Bona dust-free system keeps your home clean during the process.
LVP & Vinyl
Auburn's growing family population wants durable, modern flooring. LVP handles kids, pets, and spills while delivering the look of hardwood at a lower price point.
Carpet
Auburn's family-heavy subdivisions mean lots of bedrooms and bonus rooms. Carpet replacement is one of our most common calls in this area — fresh carpet transforms upstairs spaces that see heavy daily use.

Yes. Auburn straddles the county line, and we serve both sides. No travel surcharge anywhere in Auburn — it's in our core service area, just 15 minutes from our Bethlehem showroom.
In most cases, refinishing is the better investment. Homes from the early 2000s typically have solid oak floors that are 20+ years old — worn on the surface but structurally sound. Refinishing costs less than replacement and gives you a like-new floor. We'll assess the condition during the free proposal visit and give you an honest recommendation.
LVP and hardwood with a commercial-grade Bona finish are both excellent choices for active Auburn households. LVP is the more budget-friendly option — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and easy to maintain. Hardwood is the premium choice that adds resale value and can be refinished for decades. Come compare them side by side at our showroom.
