At Top Floors Carpet One, flooring is in our family's DNA. Our founder, Dan Clough, learned carpet and sheet vinyl installation from his father-in-law Woody Stiltner and quickly became a skilled installer. When he and Becky founded Top Floors in 2004, Dan built on that foundation by partnering with some of the best hardwood craftsmen in the region and learning their techniques, earning their trust, and partnering with the skilled installation teams we work with today. That combination of hands-on roots and master-level partnerships is how our Certified Installation Specialists deliver everything from straightforward plank layouts to herringbone patterns, custom stair treads, and full site-finished floors.

As a family-owned business in Suwanee backed by the Carpet One cooperative, we pair local craftsmanship with access to top hardwood brands at competitive prices. That means you get the meticulous attention of a specialist — moisture testing, proper acclimation, precision subfloor preparation — without paying boutique markups.

Whether you're installing solid oak throughout a new build in Johns Creek, adding engineered hardwood over a slab foundation in Buford, or matching existing floors in an established home near Sugarloaf Country Club or The River Club, our team handles every detail from first measurement to final walkthrough.

What Sets Our Hardwood Installation Apart

Wood flooring is unforgiving — shortcuts during installation show up as gaps, buckling, or finish failure within months. Our team eliminates those risks with rigorous moisture testing, proper material acclimation, and subfloor preparation tailored to your home's specific conditions. We handle every installation method — nail-down for solid hardwood, glue-down for engineered wood on concrete, and floating systems for select products — plus specialty work like herringbone and chevron patterns, coordinating stair treads, and site-finished custom stain matching. Every project is backed by our family's 20+ years of experience and the Beautiful Guarantee®.

Craftsmanship Beyond Standard Installation

Most hardwood installers lay planks. Our team executes the complex work that separates a good floor from an exceptional one. Custom site-finished hardwood lets us sand, stain, and seal raw wood directly in your home — matching existing floors exactly or creating custom colors that prefinished products can't offer. The result is a seamless surface with no micro-bevels between planks. For intricate layouts like herringbone, chevron, and custom borders, our specialists handle the precise angle cuts and detailed planning these patterns demand. And when your project includes a staircase, we install coordinating prefinished treads or custom unfinished treads stained on-site for a perfect color match.
Need your existing hardwood restored instead of replaced? Our dustless refinishing service removes years of wear and applies premium finishes — all with minimal dust disruption to your home. Between new installation and refinishing, we handle every stage of a hardwood floor's life.

Our 4-Step Hardwood Installation Process

Step 1: Consultation & Selection. We start with a free visit in our Suwanee showroom or in your home — to measure your space, assess your subfloor, and recommend the right hardwood for your project. Got pets? We'll point you toward harder species and scratch-resistant finishes. On a slab? Engineered hardwood is likely your best option. Take home a Sample Box to see how different woods look in your own lighting. Step 2: Preparation & Acclimation. Our crew removes existing flooring, tests moisture levels, and prepares your subfloor. For solid hardwood, we deliver materials early so the wood adjusts to your home's climate before installation — the step big-box contractors are most likely to skip, and the one that prevents gaps and buckling down the road.
Step 3: Expert Installation. Our Certified Installation Specialists match the method to your product: nail-down, glue-down, or floating. Every board gets proper expansion gaps, correct fastening, and careful grain alignment. For site-finished floors, we sand, stain, and seal on-site using dustless technology. Step 4: Final Walk-Through. We install remaining transitions and trim, clean up completely, and walk through every room with you. Your satisfaction is backed by the Beautiful Guarantee® — if you don't love it, we replace it.

The Right Hardwood for How You Live

We match species, construction, and finish to your home's specific conditions and your lifestyle.

Pet Owners & Active Families

Dogs, kids, and daily traffic demand a floor that can take it. We recommend hickory or white oak with matte or wire-brushed finishes that hide scratches naturally. Mid-tone stains camouflage dust and paw prints between cleanings — and we'll always steer you away from the high-gloss dark stains that show everything.

Slab & Below-Grade Spaces

Solid hardwood and concrete don't mix. For homes on slab foundations — common in Duluth, Buford, and Peachtree Corners — we install engineered hardwood using glue-down methods designed for dimensional stability. Need waterproof? Ask us about luxury vinyl plank for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements.

Custom & High-End Projects

For homeowners in communities like The River Club, Sugarloaf Country Club, and Chateau Elan, we offer site-finished hardwood with custom stain matching, herringbone and chevron patterns, and coordinating stair treads — the detail-intensive work that elevates a floor from installed to crafted.
