LVP, Hardwood, or Tile? Choosing for the Athens Climate

The humidity in Athens, Georgia, can be tough on flooring. Choosing the right material for your space is critical for durability:

🏠 LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank)

The #1 choice for Athens basements and kitchens. 100% waterproof and handles Georgia humidity without expanding or warping.

🌳 Hardwood Flooring

Timeless beauty for living areas. We use premium moisture barriers and proper acclimation techniques to prevent seasonal gaps.

🔳 Custom Tile Work

The ultimate moisture-proof solution for bathrooms. Perfect for our local slab-on-grade homes or over high-quality backer board.

The Importance of a Level Subfloor

Most "budget" flooring installs fail because they ignore the subfloor. If your subfloor has more than 1/8" of variance, your new floors will bounce, click, and eventually break. We utilize laser-leveling and high-compression leveling compounds to ensure your new Athens home investment is perfectly flat.
