Hardwood floor refinishing
in Athens, GA.
Two master craftsmen — Jim and David Baker — refinishing, installing and restoring hardwood and antique heart pine floors across Athens. No subcontractors. No showroom. The same two hands that quote your floor are the ones that finish it.
Athens floors, done by hand.
From the historic bungalows of Five Points and Boulevard to newer homes in East Athens and the Eastside, Baker FloorCraft brings a craftsman's patience to every floor in town. We read the grain and the age of the wood and let it tell us the finish — not the other way around.
We keep a narrow trade on purpose: hardwood refinishing, new installation, and the antique heart pine restoration most shops turn down. Fewer jobs at once means a name on the work we answer for personally.
What we do in Athens
Three things, done completely.
Installation
New solid and engineered hardwood, milled, laid, sanded and finished on site — herringbone, wide plank, and custom borders included.
Heart Pine
Athens is full of original old-growth heart pine. We restore it in place, weaving in matched reclaimed boards so repairs disappear.
Good questions
Athens hardwood floors, answered.
How much does refinishing cost in Athens?
It depends on the wood, coats, finish and condition. We give a transparent low-to-high range in person — never a lowball we can't hold to. The online estimator gives a ballpark in about a minute.
Can you refinish old heart pine in a historic Athens home?
Yes — it's our specialty. Homes in Five Points, Normaltown, Boulevard and Cobbham often hide original old-growth heart pine. We bring it back with a light hand and matched reclaimed boards.
How long does it take, and how much dust?
A room or two runs a few days with drying time between coats. Modern dust containment on our sanders keeps it far cleaner than old drum-sander jobs.
Do you cover all of Athens-Clarke County?
All of it — plus neighboring Watkinsville and Oconee County. We come to your floor and quote it free.
