Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to replace flooring in a first home in Atlanta?

For a typical 1,500-2,000 sq ft starter home, new flooring ranges from $4,000-$12,000 depending on material choice. LVP is the most popular first-home choice at $3-$7/sq ft installed. We offer free in-home estimates and financing options.

Can Final Floors install flooring between closing and move-in?

Yes — this is the ideal window. An empty house means faster installation, no furniture moving, and you move into finished floors. We work with your closing date and Realtor to schedule installation the day after closing if needed.

What flooring should a first-time home buyer choose?

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is our #1 recommendation for first homes: waterproof, scratch-resistant, pet-friendly, and affordable. Many first-time buyers put LVP in living areas, carpet in bedrooms, and keep existing tile in bathrooms.

Can I use an FHA 203(k) renovation loan for flooring?

Yes — flooring replacement qualifies under FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle renovation loans. We work with lenders and can provide estimates and scope documents that match your loan requirements.

Answer1
Flooring Intelligence

Does hardwood refinishing pay off when selling?

Hardwood refinishing can be a cost-effective pre-listing improvement when the existing boards are structurally sound but the finish is worn, scratched, or dated. It can improve photographs, showings, and overall presentation without the expense of replacing serviceable wood. The financial return is property-specific, however, and no contractor can guarantee an ROI or sale-price increase. Evaluate the floor condition, project cost, local buyer expectations, and your selling timeline before proceeding.
