Installation

Installing hardwood starts below the boards: we remove the old flooring, check and level the subfloor, and fix squeaks and soft spots before the first plank goes down. Then we install solid or engineered hardwood in the species, width and pattern that suit your home – from classic site-finished oak to wide-plank and herringbone floors.

In renovations we weave new boards into existing floors so rooms flow together without thresholds or color changes, and we plan transitions to tile and stairs as carefully as the floor itself.

Refinishing

Many older Birmingham homes hide heart pine or oak floors under carpet or worn finish. Refinishing sands away the top layer, removes the damage, and seals the wood with a stain and finish of your choice. The result is a floor that looks new while keeping the character only original wood has.

What affects the cost

The species and thickness of the wood, the condition of the subfloor, how much demolition is needed and the finish you choose. After a visit we give you a clear price per room or for the whole house, and a schedule that keeps the rest of the project moving.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with SouthFace and cannot recommend them highly enough. Our project was a major renovation that included opening up our living room, removing a load-bearing wall, installing the necessary structural support, redoing our floors, and bringing everything together so the space felt completely seamless. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly professional. Communication was excellent throughout the project — we always knew what was happening, what to expect next, and felt completely comfortable asking questions along the way. They were dependable, respectful of our home, detail-oriented, and consistently went above and beyond. What impressed us most was how much they genuinely seemed to care about our home and the final result. It never felt like we were just another project on the schedule. They took pride in their work, paid attention to the little things, and wanted us to be truly happy with the finished space. The transformation is incredible, and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. A renovation of this size could have been incredibly stressful, but SouthFace made the entire process feel organized and manageable. We are so grateful we chose them and would absolutely use them again for any future projects. Highly, highly recommend!

SouthFace recently completed a kitchen and bathroom remodel in my 1920s condominium. The kitchen portion of the remodel included opening a passthrough between the kitchen and dining room, and relocating the range, sink and dishwasher. The kitchen and bathroom were completely gutted and rebuilt using new designs. The project also included painting and refinishing the hardwood floors throughout the unit. Remodeling a 100 year old structure brings a unique set of challenges. Owen, the project manager, offered design ideas that greatly improved upon my initial ideas for the project and complemented the historic character of the unit. SouthFace’s team of craftsman did an excellent job in translating the design into a wonderful living space. Since I was out of the country for nearly the entire duration of the project, SouthFace had to coordinate across multiple time zones. Owen provided, at minimum, weekly video updates and contacted me when questions or issues arose. I can’t overstate how well Owen handled the remote coordination. SouthFace did an excellent job from inception through execution, completing the project in budget and on schedule. As a result, I recommend SouthFace as a remodeling contractor and I would use them again for another renovation project.
