About us

Hardwood Flooring Distributor in Houston Over 22 Years

International Flooring has been installing hardwood floors in some of the finest homes in Houston for 22+ years. We are very proud of our history and quality. Our goal is to match the perfect wood floor or carpet to compliment your home and lifestyle. One of the owners, Richard, makes sure we are constantly on the cutting edge with materials, colors, styles, and technologies. Our other owner Luis, is dedicated to making sure the quality we promise is executed every day in every job, and to make good on our promise to make your job experience with us a pleasant one.

In our experience helping with renovations, we came to realize the importance of knowledgeable vendors who sell high-quality materials and offer full-service installation. We wanted to ensure that customers’ and designers’ imaginations would not go to waste — that their visions, even when ambitious, could be realized.
