Commercial & builders
Commercial hardwood flooring support for builders, designers, and project teams
Material control, finish consistency, schedule awareness, and practical installation planning — with an in-house mill and a showroom your whole team can work from.
Why prefinishing matters
Approve the floor before it touches the site
Some designer-requested colors and effects are better handled in controlled shop conditions than on site — especially processes such as fuming, bleaching, and reactive stains.
Prefinishing lets project teams review color, texture, and finish direction before installation, reducing uncertainty and improving consistency on commercial jobs.
Builder & designer workflow
Five steps from spec to documented floor
The order matters: every step closes a question before the next one opens.
Define the performance and design goal
Traffic, maintenance expectations, and the look the space is meant to hold.
Review species, width, grade, and construction
Solid or engineered, prefinished or site-finished — matched to the subfloor and schedule.
Confirm finish direction with samples
Real boards, real light, real approvals — before anything is installed.
Coordinate installation and subfloor conditions
Moisture testing, flatness prep, and method — glue-down or nail-down — planned with the site.
Document care and maintenance
Products, procedures, and materials on record for the life of the floor.

Common questions
Commercial work, answered directly
Does ACE Hardwood work on commercial projects?
Yes. ACE supports commercial hardwood flooring projects across Austin — from material selection and sourcing through installation, finishing, and care documentation.
Can ACE Hardwood help with custom colors and finishes?
Yes. Designer-requested colors and effects — fuming, bleaching, reactive stains — are often better executed in controlled shop conditions. We prefinish so project teams approve color, texture, and finish before installation.
Does ACE Hardwood work with builders and designers?
Yes. Builders, designers, and architects use our showroom for spec support: species, width, grade, construction, finish samples, installation planning, and maintenance documentation.
